Migrant who fled Ireland after murder of NY mom Jamey Carney arrested in Jordan

Key Points:

• A man described as a "person of interest" in the murder of American woman Jamey Carney in Killarney, Ireland, has been arrested in Jordan, where he returned after fleeing Ireland prior to the discovery of Carney's body.
• The man, a Jordanian national who had been refused asylum in Ireland but was appealing the decision, left Ireland using his passport shortly after the murder, traveling through Dublin and Istanbul before arriving in Jordan.
• Carney, a New York native living in Ireland since 2021, died from suffocation and head injuries at her home; investigators believe the man was with her the night she was killed.
• Irish police have not publicly identified the suspect or confirmed details about his immigration status, though multiple media outlets have named him; Ireland lacks an extradition treaty with Jordan, complicating legal proceedings.
• The FBI has offered assistance to Irish authorities, and Interpol involvement is being coordinated through the U.S. National Central Bureau due to Carney’s American citizenship.
