Cold Case Review of Sophie Tuscan du Plantier murder to proceed. **Threadbans lifted - see OP**

But it wasn't overlooked

The bottle was tested and nothing was found.

It doesnt have to be just the gardai looking at suspects. Plenty of others have. Not one suspect has been brought up with the same level of suspicion and circumstantial evidence as Bailey. Even on here no one has provided a genuine alternative.

Indeed- and they were so adamant that this “killer” would kill again soon if they weren’t caught- so even the Gardai have recognised the brutality of the murder and the instability of the perpetrator - so where’s the additional killing by Bailey in those 27 years???

Remote and all as is the place is, there was someone there of a far more disturbed mind than Baileys, is my view.

If the entries were removed how does anyone know what they were related to? Did someone remove the entries and then write in the logbook what the entries were and that they were removed? Have you personally seen this logbook?

Fair enough.

It looks like Bailey was first identified as a suspect on Fri. 27th Dec., number 166 in the jobs book number two, although his name had appeared earlier in jobs book number one

Bailey and Jules had gone into the local station under the pretext of informing the Gardaí about a party on Sat 21st Dec. Mar Dhea. Most likely it was to see what was going on and try to get information. The desk Sergeant didn't like the look of him and - Suspect ?

Note the pages after job number 166 are cut out and the next date is 30th Dec, I wonder what went on there in the few days after Bailey was identified as a suspect?

Edit;

I don't think his name actually appeared in jobs book number one. The man across the street from Marie Farrells shop was mentioned, of whom Marie Farrell later said "I now know to be Ian Bailey"

Being honest whether he was guilty or not I haven’t the slightest scrap of sympathy for him. Even before the arrest he wasn’t leading a very productive life, contributing zero to the country and sponging and leeching off the state and his partner. He was basically an educated bum and an educated bum is the most dangerous type of bum. Instead of licking his wounds and getting on with it like anyone else who got arrested and questioned about a murder he simply couldn’t let it go, preferring to inflict horrendous poetry and himself generally on an unwilling populace. It’s doubtful if anyone in west cork was sad to see the back of him.

I don't know how well hidden it was, you would probably want it to remain in situ for as long as possible so nowhere on the beaten path easily spotted. But fair point about the distance. You'd imagine a closer spot could be found.

Another option is it was stolen at some point from one of the holiday homes in the area and dumped for reasons... like needing a corkscrew and teenagers not having a clue about that just booze hunting.

I'm just putting those possibilities out there, probably it is connected to the murder but as noted like so much about this case it is tantalising without being conclusive.

Ok but explanations for somebody unconnected with Sophie 'left' it there seem more unlikely.

An expensive bottle of French wine (only available in France) found on the side of a coutry road in Ireland in a remote area close to where a French lady was murdered, close in that to place it any closer would involve going down the cul de sac and limiting the depositors to the people using that cul de sac. If it was placed there as a deflection then of course it would have to be" found" wouldn't it?
