In that article it says the Gaurd is alleged to have had an affair with Sophie in the 1990s.
So she bought the house in 1993, she was in there 3 years and only visited Ireland a couple of time a year. In the west cork podcast i'm fairly sure it said that 1996 was the first time Sophie has come to her West Cork house by herself. Shes was always there previously with someone else, her son, her husband, her friend, her brother or Bruno were all confirmed to have visited with her. So persuming she wasnt riding the guard while her family were down stairs on her twice yearly visit then when exactly did Sophie manage to fit in her affair with this guard?
It hard to believe people actually swallow that rubbish.
The Garda wouldn't have told anybody about this unless they had to.
"The Garda did not want to say it had imported the drugs. So a version of what had happened was put together."
Castletownbere is a short boat trip from Dumanus.
Unless any new investigation tells us if another of these type of operations was happening around the area , highly unlikely, we will get nothing other than a perfunctory look at the case files and nothing new. Where were this group of "armed detectives" 6 months later? Where did they work out of? Bantry? Bandon?
"Garda sources said lives would be placed at risk if such an account were made public."
I'm sure lives are always placed at risk with the kind of games that go on?
Was Sophie's?
I read through a lot of the thread before. I did notice, on my journey, a lot of assertions that were completely wrong.
Worst of all, the frequent claim from many posters that it is "simply incredible that there would be no forensic evidence left at the scene" which apparently gave rise to people believing the crime scene was "scrubbed clean" by a garda conspiracy.
And of course, that old favourite that "there is simply no evidence against Ian Bailey"... an assertion that comes directly from Ian Bailey himself on Twitter.
I've also been assured many times, by people who claim to know, that Sophie was complaining to gardai about the rampant drug dealing going on in this remote area and that she was the snitch who informed on Alfie's "drug activity"... prompting Alfie apparently to fly into Tony Soprano mode and bash her brains in.
It was Christmas tho, so while unusual, not unheard of.
Flopsy came from reddit.
They should read through the 9K comments on the thread tho, it's a ride!

Maybe, if you want to call people "dense", you could do the honours and let us know all the reasons to believe in this Dead Gard theory.
The problem with discouraging people from joining this thread is that you end up stuck in an echo chamber in which any crackpot theory is given credence as long as some posters want to believe it.
Do you really think if she was having an affair with a married guard she would ring that into the guards. Are you well?
Why don't you tell us what inspired you thirty posts ago to join boards and start posting on this thread? Fairly random thread to start your posting journey. Your also very polarised. If you want to learn more of an alternative theory go back and read the thread or go to redit or better just type it into Google.
The postman? Oh, I forgot, he delivered Alfie's Monday morning post on Sunday at 6 p.m. how convenient.
It's as credible as it being Bailey.
Im completely open to any and all suspects however, it's important to remain objective since there's a lack of factual evidence in general with this case.
The case smacks of a garda cover up tho.
When someone is quoted they are named. "A source" sadly is not.
One more time for luck.... Your reasons for believing that the Dead Gard theory is credible.
It’s been discussed in this thread numerous times. Happy reading!
It was called "Basil Bush" not "The Basil Bush". As I said before it seems in 1981 there was a female child G Lyons there. And unless Alfie's hobby was making jewellery a woman A Lyons. Maybe Alfie and Shirley bought Basil Bush from a different family called Lyons but given the interest in Bailey's backstory it is just as relevant.
And I don't know where you are but we don't call people handling house sales "Real Estate Agents" we call them Auctioneers so your in depth "knowledge" is obviously not first hand.
You don't have to name names.
You can lay out your reasons for believing this Dead Gard theory without compromising anyone's anonymity
Not on this thread dear.
you go ahead tho
So let's all discuss the factual information that the "Dead Gard" theory is based on.
Let's all share what we know.
Yes but it also says he retired in 94, which is completely untrue.
thus why I do not believe this is factual information.
I got downloads of the land ownership. If accurate it shows Afie's name was registered as the owner of his gaff AFTER Sophie bought hers. Now maybe be squatted in it or rented it or lived in it some other way. But his ownership was definitely registered after Sophie.
Also a few years ago the contentious little triangle of Sophie's land Alfie needed to cross at the rear of Sophie's was sold to him. So there was obviously some ongoing problem.
That is true. Just speculating, but it could be related to her belief (via Josie) that Alfie took a bath in her place.
Did you also notice that we also got confirmation that she did not make any complaint to the police?
And that there is nothing to suggest she ever had any dealings with the Dead Gard?
Who is this deceased guard from Bantry, what's his name?
Somebody, who was unnamed, made likely an unnoficial complaint.
I believe it affected the legitimacy of the warrant to raid Alfie, but I'd have to find the article again.
@PolicemanFox might know?
😂😂😂
The Garda said she never made a complaint, that a fairly credible source.
This thread is the main place that it's been suggested that it was Sophie who went to the gards about Alfie, which makes it extremely interesting that it's mentioned in this article 🤔
I don't trust Barry Roches sources one bit.
He's either been given deliberately false information from the gardai to throw the scent off this lead, or he has unreliable sources he didn't verify.
A few comments before, you were saying you think the Dead Gard Is easily the most credible offender. And that you "Hope he's rotting in hell the odious cretin". And you think his family are hiding their knowledge of his guilt because they are "only trying to save face"
Since I am "dense" by your estimation, could you please explain in an intelligent manner, your reasons for claiming this?
Anything to derail the thread & point the finger at Bailey, its been a common theme on this thread from the beginning from a number of posters.
How do the Guards know that since this has always been true;
"Crimestoppers guarantees anonymity........"
