    One of the high profile missing women cases from the late 90's is from Wexford. I've a feeling this is more recent. Can't imagine a body lying in a ditch for twenty years by the side of the road without being discovered earlier.

    Badly decomposed, would it not be fully decomposed after 20 years?

    Skeletal remains.

    Whoever the unfortunate is, RIP.
    Let's hope this discovery can bring some tormented family a bit of peace.

    Most probably this is a hit and run victim. A driver of a heavy car / truck moving at 80 km/h in the dark may not even notice that the car struck a person, while the said person may be knocked unconscious or dead into the ditch.

    There was a recent case where an SUV driver struck a farmer who was walking on the side of a road wearing dark clothes. The unfortunate farmer was propelled several meters into the field outside the road. The driver noticed the impact but not the person his car struck. Only because the driver stopped and phoned the Garda the body was found.

    May not have been on the roadside. Didn't see a mention of it.

    Every time skeletal remains are found people jump to conclusions that it's one of the missing women

    It must be horrible for the family of a missing person hearing this news and waiting for further info.

    Wasn’t there an auld lad in his 80s who went missing in Wexford last year?
    I didn’t hear if he was ever found!

    I stopped the car when I heard it on the radio today.

    I have to say I thought of one Wexford woman immediately.

    Now confirmed to be a woman and a backpack was found nearby.

    Probably there since the summer and became apparent when the undergrowth died back.

    Might be best not to speculate and make suggestions.
    Just in case there are families out there wondering if she's theirs

    Found by a dog walker, probably caught the attention of the dog, otherwise it might never have been recovered.

    It's eerie enough. The body was found literally across the road from the GF's granny's home. And either on land owned by her uncle, or adjacent to it.

    Without delving into amateur forensics, but I have often taken that road as a shortcut to her house, and it always struck me as remote, dark and quiet, particularly late at night. When I hear now that it was a female carrying a backpack, it seems sinister. There's even a reservoir further up the road to add to that sort of theory.

    Who’s the GF, what does that stand for?

    The Irish Times are reporting a CV was found with the body and is believed to be an Italian woman in her 50s living a nomadic lifestyle. She was last heard from in 2017. No one reported her missing though many had expressed concerns about her lifestyle.

    RIP.

    It's rare enough for such remains to be a murder; murders don't tend to just dump bodies in the open. Usually it's someone who has died accidentally and a long time ago. 2017 is unusually recent.

    The Gardai said they were confident of IDing the body today, which would seem to confirm xalot's post that identifying documents were found with her. It would take 12 hours to confirm her ID with the Italian authorities.

    RIP, I hope she didn't come to a violent end.

    I wouldn't be too quick to fill out d'auld application form there yourself now, seeing as you appear to have serious issues skirting around what it is you actually want to say.

    "Which US President was implicated in a scandal with an intern by the name of Monica Lewinski?"
    "Ah now, I've a feeling that this fella is certainly a high profile guy, the sort of fella that everyone would be familiar with if you know what I mean *nudge* *wink*...."
