Cold Case: Missing Man from Zephyrhills | Tampa News

A cold case from 2007 in Zephyrhills, Florida, has reignited as Carlton McCarthy Ireland, 54, vanishes after paying a water bill—only to pawn a ring in Tampa and disappear with his red Toyota Tercel. Born in Jamaica and known for frequenting dog tracks in Tampa and Dade City, Ireland’s family has waited nearly 20 years for answers. Police are urging anyone with even the smallest memory—no matter how vague—to come forward, emphasizing that situations change and people may now feel ready to speak. Tips can be submitted anonymously via Crime Stoppers or directly to Zephyrhills PD. The hope? To finally bring closure to a family still searching for truth after two decades.
