I don't think it's materially important that it's here but if you are being honest and the wishes of the family is that its followed up on you should contact AGS. I fully expect them to take the information down and never contact you again. This investigation is so obviously been curtailed purposely!
Can't really see this, Cowgirlsboots.
The case you use to illustrate your point ( I'm assuming that its the "no motive" issue) , if anything, proves the opposite.
ie. that there is virtually always a motive.
Or am I misinterpreting something?
Im pretty sure in the 90s the gardai did have blue ford fiestas in their fleet - some of these may have been umarked as gardai vehicles. He wouldnt have necessarily have needed to own one himself. Its possible this is why the gardai had no interest in following up the lead on the blue ford fiesta.
Sorry, not wasting time responding to any of this. You've missed the point.
Netflix might convince you. They certainly try to.
Its not the same or similar situation at all.
Sophie was at home.
Bailey knew of her before the attack and lived in the locality.
I dont believe for one second the killer had no recollection in the incident you describe.
This attacker could well have gone on to be a serial killer or offender.
Bailey had no motive and Sophies death has no hallmarks of serial offender for which the crime itself is the motive.
It does not negate the 'no motive' logic as far as Bailey is concerned... because 'no motive' is a key indicator re tge type of crime and suspect.
Love to at least see AGS followup by checking out if Bantrys rouge detective <snip> had a Ford fiesta registered on old plates. Don't expect to hear them doing that though.
Also love to hear of the identify of the local Sup. who was out with MF but we won't hear that either.
Lastly, we should get some follow-up on the wine bottle. Again, not expecting that either. Bought by <snip> to impress Sophie is my guess but who knows.
Without the full investigation by the AGS we will really never know.

No, you're missing the point. It could apply to IB or anyone else. Not JUST IB. But for those who adamantly defend him with the "no motive" line - this negates that logic. And you can be sure this didn't happen just one time. I just happened to see this latest story in the news.
Well yeah. Ok then. The thread slipped into conspiracy theory territory long ago so whatever keeps the IB train going I guess. Since it happened in the states one time I guess we can lock him up.
The relevance is motive. There's so many comments on here about there being no motive for IB. But, as you see with this case, it took very little for the guy to snap, murder a woman, then have no recollection...just because she rejected him. One could easily apply this same template onto Sophie's situation.
Eh….ok. Relevance?
Marie Farrell saw him
Just for comparison here's a case where a man just happened to drive by a woman out jogging. He thought she was attractive and followed her. He was rebuffed so he stabbed her to death and hid the body.
Rejection is all it takes for a motive with some people.
I fail to see a motive for any local to murder her. It wasn't a sexual assault or robbery. It looks/sounds like a crime of passion to me...we don't know much of Sophie's life in France. Did she come over to get away from someone over there, is that why she asked some people to accompany her, was she scared? She has an ex who assaulted her in public on the metro I think. It doesn't sound like the investigation focused on France much which is strange given she was from there and also the French authorities didn't allow/make it easy for any leads to be followed up there from what I understand.
And there's good evidence, sadly lost now, that he is D. B. Cooper.
And his favourite wine is a nice chianti. Accompanied by fava beans and some unidentified meat...
I'm not sure if he killed Sophie, but I'm 100% certain he shot JFK from the grassy knoll.
What's Leo Bolgers alibi?
The blood on the gate was Sophie's
Here you go.
looks more like a '96 Baileys to me
Shiraz, Barossa, 1984?
Chalk it down bai.
Who says it had blood on it? I have never seen or heard this reported. If indeed it had, it beggars belief that it would not be retained and then compared to samples taken from suspects in the investigation. I can't recall if Bailey was asked to give a blood sample at the time.
And possibly "D'ya know like?" added to the end of the sentence...
First time I've seen him named.
Interesting, certainly worth some investigation by the Gardai - though that's about as likely as getting a free kick against Portugal in a World Cup qualifier.

Yes.
But with wellies.
The gate has blood on it buddy - visible to the naked eye, no fancy forensics required!
Getting rid of it for "storage purposes" is idiotic and suspicion is, naturally, heightened because the Gards tore pages out of evidence books and "lost" other evidence besides.
The gate was removed to Dublin for forensic testing. No evidencial material was recovered from it. Nothing at all. Blood splatters, fingerprints, hair or skin fragments or clothing fibres. It was later disposed of because it was taking up too much storage space. If it were still in existence today, located and re-examined how likely would it be that new, important information would be discovered as a result even taking into account advances in forensic science? Not likely at all, I would think.
I dont think there is a consensus.
Id say its about 40% innocent, 40% percent unproven/undecided, 20% guilty. Finger in the air figures.
Thats why the thread is so long!
