Summary
St. Mary's Cathedral in Killarney held Jamey Carney's funeral on Wednesday, with family, friends and local children from Dr. Crokes GAA Club honoring the 43-year-old New York native before a private cremation.
Priest Kieran O'Brien told mourners Carney had built a happy life in Ireland after moving there in 2021 with her teenage daughter, saying her "real love in life" was 13-year-old Michaela.
Irish investigators believe Carney was beaten and suffocated at her home around 11 p.m. on July 7, about 14 hours before her daughter found her body the next afternoon.
Jordanian authorities detained a man linked by Irish media to the case after he flew from Dublin to Istanbul; Irish police confirmed the arrest of a male in Jordan but said they had not requested any arrest.
The case now faces cross-border complications because Ireland has no extradition treaty with Jordan, while the FBI said it stands ready to assist Irish authorities if asked.
