The Indo Daily · Jamey Carney murder: Boyfriend of American mother-of-one detained in Jordan · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

This is an Irish Independent Podcast.

The boyfriend of murdered American mother of one, Jamie Kearney, has now been detained in Jordan.

The Jordanian authorities, they really do have exceptionally well-informed intelligence services and police services.

So this man was certainly detained by them very quickly or certainly a short period of time after he re-entered the country.

The absence of an extradition arrangement makes it very difficult for the Irish authorities.

Several of my Garda sources have said, look, this is going to be challenging given the circumstances.

Yes, significant and quite surprising, Fanon, because I think the Gardaí went to great pains to stress that their investigation couldn't be rushed.

And only when the investigation is completed, a case file is submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions, the DPP decides is there going to be an arrest warrant.

If the individual is not in

the jurisdiction, well then that involves Interpol, Europol, various foreign police forces.

But of course the news that broke in the Irish Independent today is that a 28-year-old man has been detained in Jordan.

Now this individual is the person of significant interest that Gardaí had talked about.

Gardaí stressed that there was one individual of significant interest in their inquiries and that they were following a definite line of inquiry.
