Old thread seems to be permanently locked. It will be interesting if anything can come of this at last.

The deadline was Monday. He only got it in on time.
Yeah he can't put it down to bad memory which would be completely understandable after 6 weeks.
But he knew he was a suspect early in January so he would've be going over his alibi in his mind for weeks.
Then under questioning in February, he blatantly lies about his alibi, only changing it when Jules says he got out of bed.
Not quite a smoking gun, but extremely suspicious.
When you're innocent, why bother lying, it only raises suspicion.
An innocent man has no need to lie and Bailey has lied numerous times.
Interesting article. Will more come from the material from the flat?
They’ll have access to a hell of a lot of information - everting from search terms googled to email correspondence to personal thoughts - it will be a huge insight into how Bailey thought, what he said privately to certain people such as his solicitor - we are unlikely to learn even 1% of what Gardai find but I’ve no doubt that if Gardai find even the remotest piece of evidence- a thought written down, a poem an email a search term or phrase, they’ll be including it in their DPP file
AGS fukked up tried to use fake eyewitness testimony to secure a confession and a prosecution
Bailey, the scratches the alibi the confessions and whatever else
I believe he killed her
How the hell could you have “forgotten” such an important piece of information for 20 years? It makes absolutely no sense to me. I’m assuming these “two people” he’s refereeing to, that one of them was Bailey.
Is this a sensationalist story or is this “witness” being taken as credible?

As it was holiday period the article for the Sunday Tribune on 29th Jan had to be in Mon 23rd at the latest. They had a piece ready to use instead if it wasn’t in. He tried to call it in Mon, but nobody there to take it, so it didn’t go until about 5pm Mon evening. It looks like he had no fax machine and it had to be taken over the phone. The article was published in the Sunday Tribune on the 29th Dec.. It was about internet in pubs free for customers. I think it was called Cyber Pubs or something. It was linked to a thread on here, since closed. Not great as I recall. Read like it was written in a hurry by someone who had spent the evening in the pub drinking and still hungover.
This post really displays how little you know about The Cold Case Review Team.
You actually think if they find some random note or poem scribbled down they are going to present it to the DPP as proof of Baileys guilt, lol.
I would hope a "piece of evidence" would be included in the file as part of proof of guilt, don't you think so?
So you have the inside track on the cold case team?
Riiigghhhtt
*steps away slowly*
Apparently Rows Grower is way more intelligent than we are and has “inside information” that he can’t reveal because he’s sworn to secrecy - he also doesn’t believe in including all potential evidence illustrating guilt in the DPP report - something about lizard people something something
There you go again with your wild imagination and conspiracy theroies, most entertaining. Lol.
I have no doubt new evidence will be included in the file The Cold Case Review Team send to the DPP.
Do you have anything to contribute other than badgering posters?
I think it is possible, if a functioniong alcoholic, he doesn't have full recall of that night. Another possible reason for his memory to be hazy.
He knew he was a suspect very early in January, so would've been going over his alibi in his mind for weeks before being questioned.
It's a deliberate lie. It's not a memory lapse.
He didn't know Jules was being questioned either. So he thought he wouldn't be caught lying.
There would have been no need for him to go over his alibi if he had nothing to do with it.
Conversely if he had killed her he would have sorted his alibi, none of this; " Oh now I remember, I got up to do some work on a newspaper article"
I don't think so. If you're a suspect, you'd be going over your alibi in your mind.
If you're innocent, you'd just tell the truth.
It's a deliberate and blatant lie. He only told the truth once Jules spilled the beans. Even Jules lied until they said Bailey had been seen at Kealfada bridge at 3am.
It's theoretically possible bailey lied because he thought the cops wouldn't believe him
Unlikely
Just wondering, why would the police look for DNA from Bailey's apartment? They already have his DNA, have had it ever since the murder. He even volunteered it.
I think it was mentioned DNA samples can degrade, and this will give them a new sample to work with, probably important if they are trying to use with the latest more sensitive tech.
Maybe 'other' DNA?
Probably looking for something from the crime scene or something else self incriminating
Sounds plausible.
Some of the Irish papers are writing that the Gards are looking for a diary, around the time of the murder of Sophie.
If so, it sounds like one last desperate hope of finding something, anything, to show they didn't make a complete pigs ear of the investigation from the very start.
I wonder what reason was given in the application for the search warrant for what looks like a fishing expedition.
I winder how the two are rubbing along together - the local ongoing investigation and the review team?
Coming down here telling us how it should be done.
Well, there were reports of a missing diary at the time..
Not only that, but if there was something suspected in relation to the investigation, why didn't they get that search warrant sooner?
Yes, but I think it was Sophie's diary, not Ian's? What I have heard is that Sophie had her diary with her in Ireland, and that was missing from her cottage during the night of the murder.
This always gave rise to the speculation that the murderer came back to the house to get the diary and made that blood stain on the door.
