A FORMER head of the Garda Cold Case Unit is calling for the Eva Brennan case to be upgraded to a murder probe - ahead of the 30th anniversary of her disappearance.
The 39-year-old left her parents’ South Dublin home on July 25, 1993, to return to her own apartment in nearby Rathgar.
But she mysteriously vanished and no trace of her was ever found.
American student Annie McCarrick, 26, went missing four months earlier from her home in nearby Sandymount.
Her case was upgraded to murder in March, three days before the 30th anniversary of her disappearance.
Retired detective Alan Bailey looked into the cases as part of Operation Trace, which probed the disappearance of several women in Leinster in the 1990s.
He believes Ms Brennan’s case should also be upgraded.
Mr Bailey told the Irish Daily Mirror: “If it helps the investigation to move on, it certainly should.
“Anything that provides momentum to an investigation is worth doing. Her disappearance is no different than the disappearance of the other Operation Trace girls.
