Max Carr

Max Carr is a Detective Sergeant, serving with the Weatherfield Police force. Since 22nd February 2010, Carr has been in charge of the investigation into the death of Joe McIntyre. DC Glynn also works on the case.

Carr and Glynn arrived in Coronation Street on 22nd February to tell Joe's widow Gail McIntyre about her husband's death. Gail soon revealed that while on holiday with Joe at Lake Windermere, Joe had told her that he was going to fake his own death to escape from loan shark Rick Neelan. Gail had tried to stop Joe but he sailed away in his boat without her. Gail claimed not to know what happened to Joe after that.

Carr was highly sceptical of Gail's account from almost as soon as she gave her statement, and was suspicious of changes she later made to her statement. When questioning Gail at the police station, Carr put his questions across bluntly, and refrained from volunteering information about progress the officers had made in the investigation, as he hoped that an ill-informed Gail would reveal something that did not tally with other evidence, incriminating her. After questioning Gail about Joe's head injuries, which she claimed to know nothing about, Carr admitted to Glynn that Gail reeked of guilt.

On 15th March, Carr and Glynn interrupted Joe's wake to bring Gail to the station for more questioning. When she admitted she was planning to visit her daughter in Milan, Carr arrested her, charging her with Joe's murder.
