Murder at the Cottage | Sky

I never got the feeling that, given the circles she moved in, she would be bothered confronting people about drugs.

It probably was investigated properly at the time. How do you know it wasn`t? Nobody is arguing about hubcaps. The rubbish you have come out with today is a classic example of how something takes legs and becomes a tale that never happened. We have an apparently lost statement about a blue Fiesta spotted somewhere on the morning of the murder.

The bould Garda hating Gemma comes along......ah yeah....Garda car.....the lothario in Bandon...etc

There is absolutely no evidence for any of this but now it is circulating.

The Garda dies. Paddy says to Mick...."Yer man below in Bandon is dead. I wonder did he confess to killing the French woman on his deathbed?"

Mick says to Tom..."I heard that guard confessed to killing yer one from France before he died"

Tom to Mary......"He did it alright....sure he confessed"

Eventually we end up with you coming on here implying that Sophie was driving around with a Garda a couple of hours after she got off the plane. If you had any basic knowledge of the case at all you would know it couldn`t be true.

Thompsonette has a "reliable friend" who says the Guard confessed. I won`t be holding my breath.

One would think that if someone makes a complaint to the Guards about somebody growing/dealing drugs and is later found dead that there is a fairly obvious lead. But Alfie never seems to have been a suspect, so maybe there was never a complaint.

Ian Bailey would have more knowledge of the case than all of this group combined you would imagine, considering he has the Irish and French police files.

So if there was a complaint made, then you'd have to ask how come Leo Bolger wasn't charged for growing 150K worth of weed until over 10 years later.

Could his charge coincide with when Bailey first found out Sophie complained about drug growing or dealing to the guards? Who knows.

Random points --

Skid marks? a car skidding to a halt or wheel spinning away could be taken as an attempt to intimidate?

A car skidding to a halt could also be taken as an angry approach or a desperate attempt to *intervene in time?

*Could a "white knight" have arrived too late and subsequently sped away? (did someone become aware that Sophie was being/about to be "frightened off" from causing complications to "supply lines". Could an assailant have left the area by small boat?

Surely a guilty perpetrator would "creep" away to avoid attracting attention?

Furthermore, a party's presence at the scene does not necessarily imply guilt of murder.

I'm not sure how many circuit court judges there would have been in Cork though, maybe someone else on here would be more knowledgeable.

Nick Foster not even hiding his bias anymore.

"I'm working hard at a couple of new leads that point one way only"

No ****.

How is it no forensic evidence was found in her house if someone had been using her bath? They didn't even clean up after themselves hense the reason it was discovered.

He lost a lot of credibility to me when he was on Pat Kennys radio show and refused to accept that Bailey could have been using black humour.

He thinks it's more likely Bailey would confess to a 14 year old than Bailey using black humour.

I think early morning remains more likely.

Again, the primary thing pointing at middle of night is Marie Farrell imagining that she was there at 3AM and just happened upon the only murderer ever to walk that road in a hundred years.

Whereas there is some "evidence" that actually aligns better with morning time of death: the wet blood, the muesli in her stomach, no alcohol and going out without a coat.
