Serial killer Ireland?

caseyann

I am always very baffled by this.
The amount of women who disappeared in Ireland and never seen again.
There is 6 high profile ones that we all know about.What about the others?


* Patricia Furlong (20s), raped and murdered in July 1982, in Glencullen

Antoinette Smith, from Clondalkin, Co Dublin, raped and strangled in the Dublin Mountains in July 1987


Deirdre Mulcahy (19), raped and strangled in September 1989, in Midleton, Co Cork

Patricia Doherty (30s), murdered and buried in a peat bog in Kilakee in December 1991

Annie McCarrick disappeared in March 1993. McCarrick was from Long Island and had moved to Ireland only a couple of months before she went missing, last seen heading towards a location in the hills in Wicklow.

I dont know which is worse>one lunatic since 1989 or 10 lunatics for them all
If we leave out the 1989 one as there is none for a long time after unless he was in prison or out of the country for the space inbetween.

The links are all young women age range looks eye colour and never seen again.

They disappeared year after year then stopped in 1998 and didnt happen again until 2000 one more then stopped again in 2005 when latest of the young age group i found to be Lisa Dorrin,and has stopped again.That we know of.
Could there be a serial killer going back as far as 1989?

Can anyone else find any missing women of the age group missing that i havent found to add.

Do you think someone who is murdering cares where he goes lol

Haha you scared me to now lol

I had a very close call few years ago with someone in city center.
He was pretending to be a Garda.Luckyily i had cop on.When he realised i wasnt going anywhere with him.He started cursing me and calling me names.
Few weeks later he was on crime line for raping a girl in stoney batter, and had robbed a car pretending to be a garda.It was the same night i was in town it happened.
Thought me a valuable lesson,scared **** out of me.


but if you look two in some years then none,and not a single solitary clue.

You should read the book "frozen blood" - most of the women you mentioned are in it and they do allude to a suspect for some of them, he is currently in jail for rape and attempted murder!

I'll try get it,never really thought much about this before,but how could not find them at all?Not a scrap of evidence like.:(

And if the suspect is in jail and the last link you posted was from 2005..maybe theres a connection there?
Depends how long hes been in though..

dezzyd

It's a man by the name of Larry Murphy and according to the book they can connect him to at least four locations where women went missing, eg - he was doing work in the town where Deirdre Jacob lived when she dissappeared.

storm2811

Murphy stalked his prey for a month before kidnapping her in Carlow. He broke her nose and gagged her before bundling her into the boot of his Fiat Punto. He drove 13km to Beaconstown, where he had hunting rights, undressed her and raped her.

Sounds seriously skecthy alright,he definately knew what he was doing like,very planned and everything.:/

Jailed in 2000 though I think.

He would have murdered her only two men out hunting disturbed him - thats how he was caught. There was a filled in quarry around the area he lived that people have doubts about, I don't know if it has ever been searched. Correct me if I am wrong!

I heard about him i have another link you might be interested in.

I never heard about this one,but they had 2 men in 1999 they suspected.

Very interesting, I had not known about the woman in kinsale. how come there is no current focus on all of these women? If this was the UK, Sky news would be all over it! Someone out there has to know something. People don't just vanish out of thin air. A lot of young women, no answers!

I know of a young ish guy maybe early twenties was with his mates outside whelans(about 4-6 months ago i think) i think it was.He was approached by two guys one of them said he was an undercover cop and started trying to go through his pockets and asked for id and stuff.
Anyway after they saw they werent making more progress they bottled him cutting his neck pretty badly from what i saw when he told me about it.

So if anyone is approached by any man claiming to be a cop who isnt wearing a full on garda uniform shoes hat and all i would advise them to either take many steps back nearer a large group or inside a public building or else start fighting hard and ask questions when he is in the abulance and safely dealt with.
If a real undercover cop stops you he will have to identify himself and should not have a problem allowing you to see his ID with photograph included...before his hands come in contact with you in any way at all.

Personally for my own health i would probably go mental (and take out eyes, throat, groin, face in that order ) on any man/men that implied he was allowed to touch me and search me without identifying his right to do so.Id rather risk going to a cell even being assaulted for a while than being assaulted myself without notice and possibly dying prematurely.

With regards the serial killer its quite likely but finding proof is going to be hard if it is the case.

Think you are right there, shame coz it may give answers!

also i question whether the one person is responsible for them all!! i do understand there is a common link between the girls in Leinster, but who is to say that he got caught and the other people just let him take the rap for it.

god is anyone else thinking that the person responsible might be reading this.....

ahhhhhhh..... SPOOKED!!!

Eh..yep...that did cross my mind! now I'm spooked :eek: your right about girls in Leinster. Why isn't this subject a current affair?? We only hear about it every four years or so. Did anyone mention Annie McCormack, the american who went missing in Dub/Wicklow? Her parents went through hell trying to find her (as did all the missing girls family's) As a daughter and sister I could not imagine what they go through. Too many missing women!

That quarry is in Loais is it? A place called The Swan? I think I swam in it if that's the place. Although my mother told me that it was supposed to be drained out for other clues of a case regarding the Wolfman (Not sure if thats Murphy or someone else) but it never materialized.

omg!! read it, its really creepy.

all these girls went missing, and then he kidnapped a girl in carlow. I think he put glue in the keyhole of her car door and when she couldnt open it he offered to 'help her'. Bundled her into the boot, raped her in the mountains and she watched him dig her grave. Hunters heard her screaming and held him at gunpoint til he was arrested. That was the end of the string of missing women in Leinster in the 90's.

But yeah he is due to be released soon isnt he!!

AHHHHHHHHHH.... I'M SO SPOOKED!!

Have you ever looked up the garda website and looked through the missing peoples section.


there are soooooo many missing for years that you would never have ever heard about. How do they expect to find them with so little awareness about them. I only randomly found that missing persons section!

my GF had a similar experience.... except it was a stolen Taxi ..... she got freaked during the journey and jumped out the window at the lights (doors were locked) ..... she was a boyfriends place ...ordered a taxi .... taxi pulled up ... she gets in and heads towards home, 5 mins later ...another taxi turned up to pick her up !!! ....her BF at the time was suspicious ..... anyways the taxi guy was rambling on about dublin mountains, smoking etc ....during the journey .... she bails out the window at the lights and runs to another car for help.

turns out the taxi was stolen and the guy was off his head. (she got told by gardai)
