Deirdre Jacob missing twenty years Today.

John Crerar was also a person of interest IIRC he was from the kildare area and was convicted around 2002 for the rape and murder of a woman in the 70s so he was free all that time. I don't know if he's still alive.

The site there currently searching would be close to where LM lived, and where he was caught with the girl from Carlow

Was this person not the last person to give Jojo a lift?

Both people mentioned above are from the same general parish/area.

The person you refer to has been named as being a person who came forward as giving Jo Jo a lift on the night in question while she was hitchhiking but the current search seems to be more on the LM angle. The searches could also be part of a strategy to see how various suspects react.

There could also be a difference of opinion within AGS.

It’s good to see visible “effort”- regardless of what potential mistakes were made in the past.

They said on the news they are searching for items of evidential value. A car was mentioned in another report.

Now I'm no criminal mastermind but if I abducted and killed someone and there was evidence in my car I might bury my car but I wouldn't leave other items (body, victims belongings etc) in the car that will still be identifiable to me.

Graham Dwyer thought he was covering his tracks throwing Elaine O'Haras bag in a reservoir away from where he left her body and it still led back to him, luckily for everyone else, but the chances of that happening must have been minute. He could still be walking among us having never come to the attention of the gardai so chances are there are others out there like him.

I listened to a podcast recently about the murder of Jastine Valdez, also walking home on a summer's evening minding her own business, also in Co Wicklow.

Why would you bury a body in a car? Isn't the car metal more likely to show in any probe than a body. You see someone bury a car and don't report it for 30 years?

The Guards interviewed him in England back in 2018, not sure if he is still there though.

I'd imagine that whatever country he is living in now the police there are keeping tabs on his movements.

One of today's papers saying he buried three cars.

Hard to believe that LM served less than 10 years for a truly vile crime. Our justice system is diseased!!

I remember talking to a detective years ago about the Deirdre Jacob case. He said 100% it was LM they have evidence just not enough to convict. He was working on a roof yards from her house as well.
