Cold Case Review of Sophie Tuscan du Plantier murder to proceed. **Threadbans in OP**

Yes, don't engage with this type of bullying.

Your posts are spot on, keep it up. I hope you are never swayed by the baseless nonsense trotted out here by people who prefer to poke holes in circumstantial evidence than stand back, look at the facts and evidence as a whole, and accept that it points one way. It is for the authorities now to conclude the case review and for the new, less misogynistic Office of the DPP to look at all the evidence - including any new evidence that has come to light as part of the continuing investigation.

This post is borderline comical. Are you actually suggesting there is evidence to get a conviction in present state. There is lots of circumstantial evidence but what you keep failing to note is our system won't just take circumstantial evidence alone..have you got the DNA at scene? ...no ...then what have we..

It points one way...yes and the information does not stack up. We still have no evidence he met her knew her had any interaction with her...and most hilarious is people even say he knew he left no DNA at scene and was willing take risk..like after all alcohol all his apparent clumsiness and yet..he had no knowledge of samples of anything found for testing that he wasn't on them. Like even hair fibre. It's truly comical.

Lastly I've mentioned here few times but the Information the DPP has is only as good as information provided to it from AGS. AGS are responsible for the failed investigation of STDP

""...can AGS not agree with Cold case team to look at all other evidence and not just evidence submitted to DPP on two prior occasions. Surely the information gathering could start from beginning. But i guess it's just highly unlikely

Well, no. In fact that is the whole idea of a "cold case review"

A new look, with fresh eyes, starting from scratch and taking a fresh look at EVERYTHING. Establishing a timeline (last sighting of deceased, first sighting of body etc) and reviewing all evidence - first and foremost, of course, any physical forensic evidence from the scene. But also hearsay, circumstances, suggestive trends and historical factors.

Not aiming to prove or disprove any previous theory or theories. Just looking at the whole case again.

And it is a different team altogether, a new pair of eyes.

All media reports state that the the review is solely focussed on bailey . I therefore assume this is likely true.

I assume the below

-The cold case team start with an open mind

-Therefore there are no "avenues" "new leads" of any merit

Regarding the axe. Is there any evidence this was used in the attack? If J Hellen hadn’t noticed it was missing would an axe ever been mentioned?

I can only assume the CCR team took a look at the french angle

They hardly gonna waste resources on a massive review if not needed

There's no suspicion among the family of DTDP

Vague talk here about a money motive

Bjsc has already stated a French hitman is unlikely. Now he hardly hired a paddy to do the job!

I do think the family are or were suspicious of DTDP. In the netflix documentary they mention that they were shocked that Daniel didn't travel to Ireland in the immediate aftermath of Sophie's murder. They also mention he was very well connected and had financial problems. It was clear to me watching the doc that the family had no love for or any real relationship with Daniel.

I think they were suspicious of him but for whatever reason cannot or do not want to say that publicly.

For the cold case team to dismiss and not investigate a french connection to this murder would be very foolish.

They're a specialist unit

They wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't start with an open mind

I'm not sure on the French /grudge angle

Bjsc speculated i believe that this was likely an incident that spiralled

That's what it looks like , someone lost it here and smashed her face in

So that wouldn't tie in with DTDP, the only way i could see him involved is if the intent was to have her murdered

Yes that's a possibility

I would hope a file will be submitted and we'll hear something from the dpp

Ok that's possible fair that hitman is highly unlikely and I would totally agree. But let's say by association she was well-known and well connected with DTDP. Was it also said french citizens living close by were in drug trade..others were convicts on run. I know it's still very fanciful...but we don't know of threats within them circles against DTDP given they know how wealthy he was ..and maybe wasn't aware there would be threat to Sophie's life in such remote place.

DTDP didn't like the remote place on cork , he also didn't like some studio place she worked in throughout Paris that it was in one roughest areas. Success brings lots of enemies and the french living in area could have held grudges. Now base that against landowners , I might still say that weights heavier landowners dispute grudge etc. but these are avenues we need more information on.
