    Yes. Chief suspect is her partner. Speculation that he had help in disposing of her body and given a false alibi by some people close to him.

    Remember Sunday World headline with some guy with a Fourtrak covered in country music stickers,

    I watched some of a documentary about a missing Utah woman, Susan Powell. Quite disturbing background and sad outcome.

    The racially-motivated abduction and murder of 15 year old schoolboy Kriss Donald in Glasgow in 2004. The poor boy was tortured and murdered by a gang of men of Pakistani origin who were out for revenge after they'd been attacked the night before by a white gang. Kriss Donald was an innocent boy who did not know his attackers, he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. One of the most diabolical crimes in recent history.

    This podcast gives a detailed account of the crime.

    That was a horrible one in fairness.

    I heard he was having an affair with one of his students and she became pregnant. Rumours though.

    There is a complete lack of compelling evidence to enable the Gardai to solve the particular cases particularly in relation to Annie McCarrick, JoJo Dullard and Eva Brennan. McCarrick, Dullard and Jacob were, more than likely, abducted and murdered either by the same individual or different individuals. Who can say? A long period of time has elapsed since these events occurred making successful prosecutions all the more unlikely.

    Was JoJo Dullard not rumoured to have been taken by a local farmer in Moone and buried on his land under cement? Rumours though.

    I think Graham Dwyers crimes will live long in the memory. Especially following the trial, day after day more shocking details came out. Just when you thought you couldnt be shocked any further it comes out that he enjoyed stabbing women while having sex with them, it was real WTF stuff.

    Then the fact he had gotten away with the murder for around 18 months but cracking it all came down to a Garda getting in a lake to retrieve a bag that contained a set of keys and handcuffs. The keys had a Tesco clubcard fob on the ring which linked them back to Elaine o'Hara. The case would never have been solved without that Garda being so persistent.

    Yes, how he manipulated her really stuck with me, she was so vulnerable...how dare he. Absolute prick.

    The trial and conviction of Peter Scully is one of the most mind bogglingly heinous things I have ever read, words cannot describe what I would happily pay to see happen to him.

    The two poor Polish guys who were stabbed with a screwdriver in their temples by a young Dublin lad. I will always remember that. I think out of sheer sympathy and sadness of course. But mainly shame and embarrassment to be Irish when word filtered through to the Polish people. It was absolutely shocking.

    Does anyone remember Marilyn Rynn who was murdered at Christmas in Blanchardstown where she lived.

    The murderer was apprehended by DNA that survived because of the cold weather apparently. A kind of normal guy by the sounds of it, but obviously not in the end. He's probably out and about now.

    Can't comment on that because I don't know.

    Anyway if you subsribe to podcasts, there is an episode on the Mens Rea one that deals with this case, if you are interested.

    Yes. Remember this well. Mid 90s. The cold weather nailed that scumbag..

    She was at her Xmas party in The Old Sheiling hotel, Raheny. From there into city centre and back to Blanch if I recall. He then struck when she was close to her home..

    I need to check, but believe that this man is out now. David Lawler the name. Could have sworn I read that he was out. And in his 50s only. Think he was early 30s when he killed that woman..disgusting to think he is free..

    Yes: cousin of that animal, Larry Murphy...and appears to be free since 2014..

    I reckon he'll get out on appeal.

    I reckon he did it, but I still think he'll get out on appeal.

    I wouldn't be a tiny bit surprised if he is out now. Same goes for many other murderers also.

    The law abiding citizens are trapped with FPNs for speeding etc. and insurance increases, but murderers are free. I rest my case.

    Anyway with hope he will be monitored forever on a murder charge if released. I say that more in hope than certainty.

    Won't happen IMV but if it does, we may kiss goodbye to justice here forever more.

    I often wondered about that connection, it was in the general area so I just had a WTF moment when Crerar was convicted after a LONG time. Hope he is still banged up anyway.
