    They are doing a documentary on it on TV3 Tuesday,at ten oclock.

    They are finally doing something on the missing women and Wicklow .The detective who was apart of the investigations is in it also.He reiterates we have a serial killer he believes.
    I am looking forward to it.But will they have other information that might lead to a new breakthrough?

    And give it a premier airing on TV3? I think not.

    Isn't he meant to be in jail already?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    No, the documentary won't have any new information that hasn't already been passed on to the gardai.
    Hate to be a pessimist but it's probably going to be schlocky piece of crap, as per the usual attempts that tv3 commissions.

    A PAIR of serial killers may be on the loose in Ireland, said an FBI expert who has studied the cases of six missing women.

    It has long been suggested that xxxxxx may have been involved in numerous high-profile cases of missing women. Even his own brother xxxxxx has his suspicions.

    “There’s nobody gone missing (since) and I find it difficult now to believe that he wasn’t involved. I can’t put my hand on my heart and say he didn’t do it or that he did do it,” he said starkly.

    Can't wait for them to pull the rubber mask off Martin king to reveal him as the serial killer.

    @amdublin here you go. Murphy has been effectively ruled out of involvement in the cases of Ciara Breen, Fiona Pender and Fiona Sinnott, but gardai believe he kidnapped and murdered the other three women.
    Jailed rapist Larry Murphy has emerged as the only prime suspect in the women's disappearances. The FBI agents concluded that the modus operandi and profile of the unknown suspect fitted Larry Murphy in three of the cases.

    Thanks for that Caseyann..It says in that article that Ciara Breen left her house to meet an unknown person. There is a local man that she was sneaking out at night to see at the time. My brother knows him..knew he was seeing Ciara. All her friends knew too.He was a lot older than her, though seemingly since her disappearance he's denied being with her, despite her friends' statements to the contrary. He's the chief suspect.

    Really i never heard anything about him as a suspect.Its awful sad.
    I was at a bus stop about five years ago,some guy pulled up (and dont laugh the oh so skeptical) in a white van.It was a country road.A girl was standing across the road from me at the other bus stop.I walked to the door thinking he wanted directions.And he asked me to get in the van,do i need a lift? Now considering this road goes to four different locations.He didnt even ask me where i was going:confused: I denied the lift and he cursed at me.I can say honestly for what happened to them women i never take a lift.

    Feck Casey Ann, lucky you didn't get in. Might've been worth getting his number plate, just in case someone did end up going missing in the area.

    A man asked me for directions once during the missing women years. He asked me for directions to a brewery. I told him there were two breweries on the suburbs of town. I thought it was odd that he didn't even know the name of the one he was looking for.

    I'm terrible at giving directions but I did my best to direct him to both. He then suggested I got in and showed him, that he could give me a lift. I said no thanks (but my heart started to beat a little bit faster at this point). He kept saying 'are you sure? sure it's starting to rain'. I told him I was turning the next corner about two hundred yards down the road which was in a different direction to where he was going'. He said 'sure go on, Ill leave you that far'. It was getting awkward refusing so many times.Eventually, he drove off.

    He seemed nice, a business man type. Probably meant no harm. I thought it was odd that he offered a woman he didn't know a lift at the time when it was all over the news about the missing women and I did feel at the time that he wasn't really taking in the directions I was giving him. It felt as if he was waiting to interrupt me.

    It crossed my mind to get a number plate but I couldn't make it all out as it was grubby and he drove quickly.

    I know,he sped off wheels spinning like i offended him,blinking oddball :D The girl on other side to me said are you ok,i told her what happened and she thought was very strange aswell.But he took off way to fast to get a plate.I was kind of shaken.
    You are very lucky you didnt get in either.I seriously cant understand why a complete stranger would offer you a lift when you arent asking for one.He could have been genuine but you are right not to take the chance.What was it my OH said,if i ever even need to get a taxi ask him for his number and send to him in front of him with text.He is very protective of me :p

    It might help jog peoples memories or make them consider someone they know and bring new information with this documentary airing on Tuesday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    He could have been offering because he was concerned there was a killer going around targetting vulnerable and presumably alone women. :rolleyes:

    People are so quick to presume the worst. I tried to help a very obviously lost tourist couple the other night wandering around a slightly dodgy area and they looked at me like I was going to rape and murder them.

    Where were they from? lol thats different there is two of them, Rather i assume the worst then take a chance.The guy was cursing at me after i said no to a lift,and he pulled over out of the blue for no reason at all. If you cant tell me thats odd.Then you are naive.

    Would you stop and offer a strange woman a lift? Would you not be afraid you'd be thought a weirdo? Sad, but in this day and age, I would've been mad to accept a lift in those circumstances from a stranger. Anyway, I did say he probably meant no harm.

    That depraved c<>t Murphy is scheduled to be released on August 10th. No wonder they commissioned this programme.

    How lucky must that woman feel that those hunter lads happened to be walking at that particular spot in the Wicklow mountains?

    They better keep a close eye on the c<>t once they release him. I think of him every time I walk by Arbour Hill.

    I would have in the past, probably not any longer though after reading this thread. Or stop to change a tyre, or help with a pram, sure I could be a pedophile if I did that. :rolleyes:

    I think Nevore is getting a bit of a hard time.

    If it were me, I would absolutely offer a woman help with a tyre, or a lift in a car(if I drove), and it would never occur to me that she might think I was weird.

    That said it depends how you do it. If its raining, and you say, where are you heading to, and she is going in your direction, then you might say I am going that direction do you want a lift, and if she says no then leave it, dont go trying to talk her into it, because that will come across as weird.

    On many irish roads, you're safer in the car than walking on the the side of it.

    Both those scenarios are nothing like what you are mocking in mine.If you pulled over to a bus stop and not looking for directions and asked some girl who was not under distress did she want a lift.How would you view yourself?

    I'm not mocking anyone. I'm pointing out that it's a bit much to assume a malign intent in every man. The climate of hysteria surrounding this reminds me of nothing but that surrounding pedophilia. Men are automatically assumed to be offenders.

    No one is outlining any kind of intent in every man,i pointed out what happened to me.And Ann described her situation when she was asked and quite insistently by a stranger did she want a lift.
    Thats not hysteria thats called caution and discussion of weird situations that happened,and i felt threatened by that guy when he pulled over and then cursed at me when i wouldnt get in.Would you call that suspicious? Then i dont know what is to you.

    It looks pretty typical of a TV 3 Trash production.

    Who decided to interview those people in a big giant empty warehouse! The reverberation is fúcking annoying! (I realise it's not very prominent but once you hear it you can't help but notice it).

    Terrible production value altogether. If it weren't for the subject matter I would be turning over.

    WTF:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    What a tawdry little production.

    None of the actresses look vaguely like the missing girls (is it the same girl for them all??!!)

    In the reconstruction they have the actress with a completely incorrect handbag for Deirdre Jacob.
    They have her with a large shoulder slouchy whiteish leather bag like bags that are in fashion now.

    (I think) She actually was carrying a large Record Bag style bag with a CAT logo in big yellow writing on the front. She had it over her shoulder ie the bag sitting at her waist.

    What is the point of this rubbish program????


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    The repetition is annoying, as is the lazy narration... ''it had become a-parent''.. I'm sorry, what? Did you mean ''apparent''?

    It's an interesting topic but the way the programme is packaged is very flawed - for one, these missing persons cases are being spoken of as if they are murders. Perhaps there should be a body before that term can be used?

    I remember there was another case in more recent years - a girl who took a lift from a man in Dublin city centre, around Harcourt Street. I think she assumed he was a taxi-driver - and he drove her to the mountains but she got away. ****ing terrifying case... surprised it wasn't mentioned.

    I guess that wouldn't tie in with their theory that it is Larry Murphy who is to blame for these missing girls.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    So, did anyone else count how many times ''vanished into thin air'' was used?

    Also, the Pro. of Criminology said all 3 were taken in close proximity of their houses. Erm, wasn't one hitchhiking? And another up by Johnny Foxes when she lived in Sandymount? Only one was really close to their house afair.
