Summary
Irish police opened a murder investigation after Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old American originally from New York, was found dead Tuesday at her home in Killarney, County Kerry.
Investigators said a person of interest left Ireland in the early hours of Tuesday, before Carney’s body was discovered, prompting coordination with international law-enforcement partners and British authorities.
Irish media reported the man may have fled to Turkey and had been living in state-run asylum accommodation in Killarney, though police have not identified him or confirmed his nationality for legal reasons.
The Irish Independent reported Carney suffered severe head and neck injuries and may have fought back; the U.S. State Department confirmed the death and said it is assisting her family.
Carney moved to Ireland in 2021 with her young daughter, and her killing has shaken Killarney, one of Ireland’s best-known tourist towns.
