Cops digging on Kildare/Wicklow border site

Surly something as significant as this should have been made public and a full investigation carried out ,it's seems amazing how they seemed to have dismissed the whole sighing and call to them (Guards)

At the bottom of this article it's claimed he confessed to the murder of Deirdre Jacob while drunk in prison.

But, one thing always jumps out at me in relation to his alleged drunken confessions. How the hell was a prisioner in a "high security" prison drunk?

I'm pretty sure it's fairly easy to make alcohol in prison. I didn't read up today but I remember reading it a few years ago, toilet wine I think it was called.

No doubt plenty of people will become quite adept at here when MUP comes in in January.. 😉

According to the Alan Bailey book, the prisoners in high-security, long term prisons do make moonshine vodka.

Its a kind of an open secret, it keeps them busy and makes for social life, or something. And these two prisoners were boozing together, LM and someone else - a criminal. Who was so shaken by what LM told him that he reported it to the guards, even though this put himself at great risk of being scorned as an informer.

He said afterwards that it was because he himself had a daughter. He claimed that LM told him how he abducted a young woman near Newbridge, pulled her rapidly into his car, stunned her with a blow, etc. The details are pretty unpleasant.

In all the years I’ve followed the JoJo Dollard case,I have never heard it reported that she was later seen in Castledermot….has the line not always been that the last sighting was in Moone?

and how in the name of Jaysus is this story (about a woman running naked through Moone that night)only coming to light now??…and it was reported to Gardai at the time….beggars belief

I have really enjoyed reading "Missing - presumed" by Alan Bailey - a leading detective who was later involved in Operation Trace. And he makes it clear to see that Garda investigation at the time was very far from weak. Skilled detectives did investigate every possible lead. They just didn't tell the Press everything, or make known certain facts that only a guilty party could have known. There isn't a snowball in hell that they would have ignored the report of a naked woman in distress, in that very village, at that very time.

Hi Larry.

The story of a naked woman running through Moone the night Jojo went missing is only coming to light now because it's probably total and utter BS, and was treated as such at the time it was initially reported.

There was also a report by a taxi driver of a barefoot woman in destress with two men getting into a car in Waterford on the night Jojo went missing, that has been public for a long time now and I believe has been deemed unrelated for a number of reasons.

https://books.google.de/books?id=fFyPBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT28&hl=de&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false

did a research of the book and found this reading examples. I just managd to read the chapter of Jojo. It's actually mindboggling, don't even know where to begin with. witnesses coming out 1 or 2 years later with important information about the sighting on that evening of a car with two men in it and a women, very distressed, escaping from it, one man catching her back. That woman must have been screaming! who on earth is not reporting this to the guards immediately? then that prison inmate who told a story to the guards which fits this story of the witness on that evening. the two are unconnected. they even have a main suspect, a well-known irish sex offender, but nothing comes out of it. then, at the same evening, almost a whole street in Waterford woke up from a woman screaming and then seeing a naked woman escaping from their neighbours house, this M. Henry, catching her back and nobody reported it to the guards?? WTF?? what's wrong with people at the time one has to ask, didn't they have daughters which could be the next victim? mindboggling. and WHEN was that finally reported, nothing written there.

what's going on with this Michael Henry guy, is he still alive? why wasn't he convicted? very detailed written book but important infos are just left out.

and then that Bailey openly admits at the end of the chapter that it was policy that days to NOT really work together with the relatives of the victims. I was unbiased towards the work of the guards in this cases, but reading this, it's all a disgrace and actually proves what the poster above wrote, work of the guard force seemed to be weak and incompetent or whatever is behind this.

? do you mean my post? if yes, as said, I read parts of the book which was recommended here from a poster to show how positive the guards work were at the time. After reading it, I just can say for myself this book is a proof of the opposite. Did you read the articles?

I asked questions to the situations described in the book because I think there are more questions coming up through the book than answered, nowhere did I write to know anything about the cases, let alone more than the detectives.

weird comment.

Google is your friend Larry.

If this refers to joJo Dollard - there was indeed a rumour that she had been treated thus. Buried on a certain farm, even: rumours can be quite specific!

It turned out that the slurry pit she was alleged to have been buried UNDER, had been completed a year before she disappeared. Rumour disqualified.

If anyone can point to the actual place on the actual farm that this is supposed to have happened, they should inform the Gardai immediately - in writing, and copies to all the daily papers.

This is a classic case of give a dog a bad name and hang him. He was not the only one living or working in that area and it could well be that the real perpetrator is using Larry as a smokescreen.

yeah, could be. but every post here from you you are kind of defending this piece of sh**. why?
