Disappearances of William Maughan and Anna Varslavane

William "Willie" Maughan was originally from Tallaght. He was tall, with a shaven head and green eyes. ==Disappearance==

They had been living together in Gormanston, County Meath, and were on their way to meet William's mother to get a lift to Tallaght. On 14 April 2015 Anna rang William's mother at 2:57pm. One of her sons answered and he could hear Anna calling for help. Ten minutes later the Maughan family arrived at the agreed pickup point but neither William or Anna were there. ==Investigation==

Gardaí (police) suspect the couple were murdered on orders from a figure who has since become involved in the Drogheda feud. They suspect that he was behind the fatal shooting of Benny Whitehouse in Balbriggan in 2014 and that the couple were killed because the gang feared that they would provide information to the Gardaí about the shooting of Whitehouse. Joseph Maughan believes that his son was targeted because he knew too much about a murder that happened in 2014. The vandalism happened in the early hours of the morning the day after Joseph Maughan appealed for information on the disappearance of William. He could be questioned for up to seven days. Searches that took place at a location in Meath were completed on the same date. Gardaí intended to prepare files for the Director of Public Prosecutions, who would decide on whether to prosecute. ==See also==
