Trevor Deely case (Mod note in OP)

given the lack of new leads or anything of that nature as well as the fact that it’s almost a quarter of a century since Trevor’s disappearance, I’d suggest the only way this gets solved is if a third party is aware of what happened and either lets something slip or develops a conscience and goes to the Gardai.

What I find odd and I’m not saying it had anything or any influence on what happened to Trevor…

But he goes to work to procure an umbrella, ok… that’s explicable, but why the after a night out, on the gargle at a party, would you finish the night sitting there reading your work email and making notes… A buzzkill no ? 😵‍💫That’s inexplicable, and odd as fûck…for 99.99% of us the computer wouldn’t be used…Grab umbrella, some shelter yeah, but…. Was he there deliberately evading something, someone ? Hense the computer usage ? A distraction perhaps ?

Also a company night out, a pre arranged taxi strike. Would the employer given it was a work event, not try hire some alternate transportation ?

There is a very good Irish Times three part piece on the case from a good few years ago.

Before posting here and asking "why or what did or was this that or the other" people should read it.

The first guy seems sketchy though.

But equally forgettable.

Because neither Trevor nor the other colleagues had much to say about him.

Trevor never mentioned him to the friend who was working and we have to assume the other workers who also stopped by the office and interacted with him could not give anything more than basic details about him.

There was, there have been a few actually.

The really big one got deleted on a request from the family because it was wild with all sorts of stupid speculation.

Yes that's what I always pictured that he was hoping for more word from her after he had visited in Alaska.

But did he interact with any co-workers, other than Karl Pender in the office after the party, as Fr Tod is inferring?

Sorry I think to there is a bit of confusion here, so I'll try and explain myself.

Someone on this thread said that the man talking to Trevor outside the office gate was "sketchy"

I agree that he looks "sketchy" but I also think he was totally inconsequential.

As far as we know Trevor never mentioned him to his colleague.

And there were another group who called to the office who interacted (or were at least present when he way there) with him who, as far as we know, could not recall anything of value about him.

but I don't agree that it's equally forgettable as the guy merely walking behind Trevor later.

But the guy didn't merely walk behind Trevor later.

That person was identified a few years ago.

And at the time the video of the guy at the gate and the guy behind Trevor was released the gardai were not claiming that they were the same person, just that they might be the same person.

The area he had to walk through was not dodgy. I lived there at the time and it really was perfectly safe.

There were a few working girls, on some nights, along wilton terrace up the baggot st end but the only hassle you would get there is been asked for some business or a cigarette. You rarely saw those girls when the weather was bad.

I walked/waddled along wilton terrace in the middle of the night hundreds of times over that period and not once did I feel unsafe.

I didn't suggest they're the same person. I've never thought they were. Different build. But actually I can see how my phrasing made it seem like I was talking about them as though they're one and the same.

I originally said I had heard the second guy was eliminated as a party of interest and it didn't surprise me because he didn't seem to be doing anything shady - he was merely walking behind Trevor like any pedestrian. I said the guy by Trevor's office earlier seemed sketchy though - you said he was as forgettable as the later guy on Haddington Road, but I disagree for the reasons I gave above.

I do acknowledge that Trevor didn't mention him to his workmate though, nor did the colleagues waiting outside. But I still think his behaviour was a bit odd.

Is there an article that covers the investigation in more detail? That Irish Times article was fine but didn't say much about the CCTV footage for example.

Given the VERY inclement weather that persisted that evening and throughout the night and the fact that there was a taxi strike , 99.9 % of those planning to do anything ‘untoward’ would have cancelled it and stayed at home.
Trevor was clearly seen , after having visited his office, striding along a street towards Baggot street on his way home to his flat in the Ballsbridge area and, apparently , with not a ‘care in the world’. From memory , I cannot recall if he was taking the ‘ tourist route’ or the shortest route home. If he did take the tourist / longer route home , maybe it was because it was better lit. The fact that he left the party early he probably felt more like walking home than if he had left later being full of beer And food and being more tired. For some reason I find that you could walk miles in Dublin without realising it.
