Murder at the Cottage | Sky

And maybe people only started noticing things / remembering after the murder stuff that had happened / begun before it.

Do we have a list of all the people who bought bleach or burnt rubbish in December in the area?

Totally agree with this post... Who would keep a bag of blood stained clothes at home for three days before burning them.

C'mon.... Get Real!

The very items that would incriminate a murderer & guarantee a life sentence without parole (don't bother arguing this point)

How can you suspect your neighbour of burning evidence if they are not suspected of anything..?? They sound like country bumpkins to me?

The more you scrutinize the evidence, the more it becomes clear that Bailey was a patsy for an incompetent murder investigation.

Which leads you to the terrible realisation that they let the murderer escape scott free...!!

It seems that IB was put in the picture not simply to get someone's mate off the hook, but rather to avoid something huge coming to light if that person was pursued. The question is what. Could there have been some kind of "white knight" intervention? STDP makes complaint about shady dealings to looped-in guard who flags it. That guard then gets wind of an imminent threat to her (who he may be interested in) but arrives too late. Hell, even IB might be some kind of witness but can't say. It smells like one extreme situation superimposed over another.

Have you submitted the script to any producers?

It wrote itself really, is it that crazy?

If all he was burning was clothes why not do it in a fireplace rather than outside

I think to conclude that Ian Bailey is guilty and actually did it is very much in question. After all, in Ireland he's a free man.

However I do think that if he would have done it, at least Jules Thomas would have knowledge or let's say it's beyond my understanding that she wouldn't have noticed anything at all.

I often also considered the possibility that she could also have driven the car to Sophie's house, Ian as a passenger, Ian killing Sophie and then being driven home by Jules.

Ian would hardly have asked Jules after a night in the pub, to borrow and drive her car, nor is it likely that Ian Bailey hiked on foot all the way to Sophie's and back again, blood all over him.....

That's nonsense...

Based on your reckoning, anybody that puts out their bins are potentially getting rid of evidence.

The Justice System of Ireland couldn't muster a case against Bailey, so how could a pair of country bumpkins looking over the ditch form such an opinion??

Maybe the Gards refreshed their memories...?

Yeah I know, but they're hardly items used in a murder?

If its just boots and jeans etc that you've worn during a terrible murder, why not burn them in a fireplace inside away from view?

And why would you apparently wait 3 or 4 days when you could have burned them before Sophies body had even been found?

Jules almost broke remember. Can you imagine, how after some probing questioning, Detective Dwyer must have felt when she recalled how Ian had got up to do some writing. Dwyer must have been high-fiving the lads ; "what'd I tell ye boys, Colombo's back in the saddle". How crestfallen the poor man must have been a little while later, when she said that early next morning Ian made her some coffee and she noticed nothing unusual. If anything she's worse than Bailey and probably the real brains behind the murderous clan. But Dwyer didn't make it to the lofty heights without some persistence. He'd get his sketch of those scratches.

Jules and her daughters are getting off too easily. Look how Jules has stood by him all these years. That alone tells us that THEY are guilty. There could be no other explanation.
