Willie from Tallaght and his partner Anastasjia were reported missing from Laytown, County Meath, in April 2015 and in September 2016 this case was reclassified as a murder investigation.
Willie and Anna, a Latvian national who moved to Ireland when she was eight-years-old, lived together in Gormanston, County Meath.
The couple had planned to leave Gormanston and move back to Tallaght on the day that they disappeared, April 14, 2015.
They had organised to meet Willie’s mother Helen to get a lift back to Tallaght but when she arrived at the meeting point, there was no sign of the couple.
In a statement released on Sunday evening, Gardai said: “The woman in her 30s, arrested yesterday morning, Saturday 30th January 2021, in relation to the disappearance and murder of William Maughan and Anastasija Varslavanne has been released without charge.
