Carrie Mullane: Police appeal for campervan and boat clues in suspected murder investigation

Police Appeal for Vehicle and Boat Movements in Enniskillen Murder Investigation

Detectives investigating the suspected murder of a Limerick woman who disappeared in County Fermanagh have released images of a campervan and a boat that they believe hold vital clues to the case. Carrie Mullane, also known as Carrie Noonan, travelled to Enniskillen on October 10 with a man known to her and has not been seen or heard from since, according to rte.ie.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland launched a search after An Garda Síochána raised concerns for her welfare on October 29. Investigators state it is very likely that the 39-year-old mother of four came to harm shortly after arriving in Northern Ireland, treating the disappearance as a violent crime and a suspected murder.

Timeline of the Enniskillen Disappearance

Carrie Mullane left Limerick and arrived in Enniskillen on October 10 accompanied by a man she knew. The last confirmed sighting of her occurred at approximately 9pm that Saturday, when she took a taxi from the Enniskillen bus station on Wellington Road to Trasna Park. Since that journey, her movements remain entirely unknown, and she has failed to make contact with any family or friends.

The PSNI initiated their formal search operations on October 29 following the report from An Garda Síochána. Despite intensive search efforts spanning several weeks, police have not established her whereabouts or confirmed her welfare. Investigators are treating the timeline following her arrival in Fermanagh as critical to uncovering what happened to her.

Search for the Campervan and Boat

Police have released photographs of a specific campervan and a boat, urging the public to help reconstruct their movements between October 10 and November 1. Detective Superintendent Richard Thornton from the PSNI’s Serious Crime Branch stated that establishing the whereabouts of these two vehicles could yield vital evidence and provide a clearer picture of events. Carrie is a much loved mother, sister and friend and is greatly missed by everyone who knows and loves her, Detective Superintendent Richard Thornton, from PSNI Serious Crime Branch, said. Have you seen this campervan or this boat in and around the Enniskillen and Carrybridge areas? Det Supt Thornton added: If you think you can help then please I urge you to get in touch with us.

Authorities have asked anyone who spotted the campervan or the boat in the Enniskillen and Carrybridge areas during that nearly three-week window to come forward. A specific appeal has also been directed at boat owners on Upper Lough Erne who may have observed the vessel on the lough. Members of the public with dashcam, doorbell, or CCTV footage are encouraged to upload it directly to the Major Incident Public Portal at mipp.police.uk, or contact police quoting reference number 272 of 29/10/26. Those calling from the Republic of Ireland can reach emergency services via 999 or 112, while independent charity Crimestoppers accepts anonymous information.

Police Keep Open Mind as Detectives Pursue Multiple Inquiries

The investigation remains active, with a large team of detectives from local CID and the Major Investigation Team working alongside uniform officers to follow multiple lines of enquiry. Detective Superintendent Thornton noted that investigators are keeping an open mind regarding the circumstances of the disappearance.

While the PSNI has expressed gratitude for community support, authorities have cautioned the public against online speculation while searches continue. Meanwhile, Thornton said the PSNI is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support shown by the community but has asked for the public to refrain from speculation, particularly online, while our enquiries continue. I ask that the public refrain from speculation particularly online, while our enquiries continue, Det Supt Thornton said. Police investigating the disappearance and suspected murder of Carrie Mullane have not yet established her whereabouts, nor her welfare, despite intensive search efforts since 29 October, leaving her movements unknown after a taxi ride to Trasna Park following her arrival in County Fermanagh.
