On Friday, November 15, Gardaí investigating the disappearance and murder of William Maughan and Anastasija Varslavane launched a search of open lands in north County Dublin

A garda search for William Maughan and Anastasija Varslavane, who disappeared almost a decade ago, has been stood down after failing to yield any information about their whereabouts. The case was upgraded to a murder inquiry in 2016, a year after the couple disappeared.

A search in the Republic of Ireland for a couple last seen in 2015 has ended, gardaí (Irish police) have said. Willie Maughan and Anastasija Varslavane were last seen on 14 April 2015. The search operation, which began last week, was carried out at open lands in north County Dublin.

A search in Co Dublin for a missing couple has ended without a breakthrough. William Maughan and Anastasija Varslavane were last seen on April 14th, 2015, in Balbriggan and are thought to have been murdered. A fresh search operation began on November 15th on open land in north Co Dublin.

Gardaí believe the couple were abducted, shot dead and their bodies concealed by a Co Louth-based gang led by criminal Cornelius Price, who has since died. Detectives are working on the theory that Price feared Mr Maughan was about to go to gardaí and implicate him in the 2014 gun murder of Benny Whitehouse.
