Cops digging on Kildare/Wicklow border site

it’s my personal opinion that due to the sensitivity of the situation, the people onsite and the media should not report on anything other than the mission at hand , and refrain from ejaculating over a ring fort until after they close the search, plenty of time after to celebrate

Can't delete a post on Vanilla.

Per radio reports nothing of evidential value found.

not quite, the area is absolutely massive and a specific tip off would be required, we need to hand larry over to the CIA for an hour to really see what he knows

A chap on twitter said he tweeted the gardai to search the bog of allen....the bog is 950 sq km :)

I would agree, you only have to look at the abductions that were prevented to realise how many more women could be abducted. There was a recent case up the north and a few in Dublin where women fought back and the outcome was better, if they hadn't we would be dealing with more "triangles"

that site and the last sighting of Jojo were so close i got my hopes up

in the area of Usk alone, there are two quarries, one overgrown and one partly used and the area is densely wooded. So,unless the gardai have ground penetrating radar or Lidar or have brought in cadaver dogs, they are depending on pure luck to find anything.

I think it was mentioned that they were using dogs: (can't remember where I read that...)

-- but dogs are sort of ambiguous...even if they don't Alert, it doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing there. And even if they DO, it may not be useful as evidence.

However - a year or two ago, there was an upswing of Garda interest in quarries, around the Kildare/Wicklow area: and apparently connected with the Deirdre Jacob investigation. So your comment may go very close to the truth!

Its already been long established that most of the cases involve different killers. Murphy is a serious suspect only in the case of Sarah Jacob and to a lesser extent Jo Jo Dollard.

I agree: with the possible exception of one intriguing case...the disappearance of Eva Brennan in 1993, just a few months after Annie McCarrick had vanished. I really DID wonder why her case is never included in the list of mysterious disppearances! (Bailey barely mentions it in the book)

Alays thought it had been dismissed as a suicide since the poor lady suffered from depression - but it still doesn't explain why she vanished so completely that no trace of her has ever been found! Suicides don't normally arrange to disappear their own bodies, as you said.

Were they cousins or just went to the same school/year?

I remember reading a long time back that the two were connected, but I could be mixing up the stories with other things.
