Unsolved Irish Mysteries.

Who are these people? Mick and Brian I mean, are they just some randomers who started a podcast?

Makes you wonder about the accuracy of all the "Garda sources say" media reports we've seen over the past couple of weeks.

The reality is that individual Gardai working on a case are not allowed discuss it with journalists.

This now has all the hallmarks of being another case where there is a large finger of suspicion pointing at someone but zero likelihood of any firm evidence ever being found at this stage, many years after the awful event.

Another case of poor gathering of information by Gardai at the early stages of the investigation.

Yes, its good to finally hear in their own words what someone close to Annie at the time has to say about the current redirection in the case.

Certainly not the words of a repentant, guilt ridden, death-bed witness that hid vital information, as has been suggested on various platforms. It reads to me more like an angry Gardaí bashing rant that shows zero empathy for the prime goal of the 32 year investigation, that of finding Annie. 'Stop digging up the past' is how it reads to me.

Isn't there also more than a touch of arrogance and naivety when he claims " it was i that reported her missing. I was the first person who made the statement in respect of her disappearance in order that the guards might not spend time worrying or spend time investigating me"...Just because you're the first to report a disappearance doesn't mean you should be exempt from questioning! Often the initial person who reports a missing person has proven to be involved.

He also contradicts himself when he claims his brother had nothing to do with Annies disappearance but then claims .."I could go months without seeing him. His life and my life did not cross over".....So if he didn't see his brother that much back then in 1993 how would he know what he's up to or how could he be so sure his brother had nothing to do with Annie's disappearance. That could be just blind brotherly loyalty of course.

So it would be interesting to hear if it wasn't this brother who was the current suspects alibi that supposedly has been withdrawn who was it.

both these brothers are looking very fishy now

The interview reads strange, he's almost putting more emphasis on saying the gardai dont have evidence to charge either of them instead of saying i/we had nothing to do with it

Re your first para, I never heard or read of anything along those lines in this case, are you sure you're not confusing with different case? Possibly Raonaid Murray as another poster said or Charle Self's murder from 1982? In any case, there wasn't really claims of 'heavy gang' treatment in those cases, it's just it was felt by some the garda inquiries were excessively intrusive and getting into non-relevant areas.

Surmising from other articles. "Recent months" was when the overseas interview took place.

Does anyone know if this scumbag Ross Outram - https://www.sundayworld.com/crime/courts/man-jailed-for-murder-of-paddy-lyons-90-says-theres-no-proof-he-caused-pensioners-death/40336339.html

Is related to Cliff Outram? Both from that area in Tipperary. Might be a grandson.

Cliff Outram was a friend of serial killers John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans. He met them in prison. He helped to facilitate their heinous activities by providing them with accommodation, money, transport and an address for correspondence. He & his family should have been run out of Tipperary.

EDIT: Grandson. Confirmed by Facebook. What a degenerate family.

Questioned under caution or as witnesses? May have been due to Garda snobbery against Clondalkin people, even the posher part of Clondalkin. Which is wrong of course if it happened.

Both
