Unsolved Irish Mysteries.

Yes, it could be possible. Especially because there are two witnesses who claim to saw a screaming naked woman in Moone on that night.

The screaming naked woman is from an article from a few years ago.

I woman went to the gardai and a reporter a few years ago because a truck driver told here that on the night JoJo went missing he and his boss saw a woman naked screaming in Moone at 11pm.

They rang the gardai, they said they would send a car out to investigate.

That's all we know.

The reporter got the story second hand and decades after the fact, plus the timeline is wrong.

It's nothing.

I'm trying to figure out what I would do if I saw a naked screaming person, running in the street and I watching from my car. You would be in shock and wonder if it was a joke or a set up, afraid to get involved but in the end, you'd have to try to help, especially if it was a woman. It's such an extreme scenario, I doubt that story was made up somehow, it seems authentic. Poor man, it must haunt him

Did they stop and try to rescue her?

First off the information in the article isn't from the truck driver that saw the naked lady, it's from a woman who meet the truck driver by chance in Moone 25 years after JoJo went missing.

So the information is second hand straight away, quotes like 'Don't worry, it'll be grand, we'll send a car out' that sound very flippant are attributed to the gardai, but infact they are just the words of this woman and/or the author.

The woman also tells of the Gardai initially dismissing that the naked lady was Jojo because she was later seen in Castledermot.

This would have been the case early on in the investigation as there was an alleged sighting in Castledermot, but the definitive last contact with JoJo was the call to her friend from the phone box in Monne around 11:20.

So then there is no way it could have been JoJo as she wasn't even in Moone at the time of the naked lady sighting at 11pm.

I don't doubt that the truck driver saw what he saw, and I don't doubt he called the Gardai that night, and a few weeks later and 25 years later.

But I also don't doubt that the Gardai investigated the naked lady on the night as they said they would and came to a conclusion in that investigation.

If the Gardai beliveved the naked lady was a piece to this puzzle we would have heard a lot more about her in the last 30 years.

Re Annie Mc Carrick - the whole "Fox's" episode has been debunked. Doesn't hold water and has been discounted.

Even Annie's bus trip to Enniskerry has been cast in doubt, though not completely ruled out; there were credible sightings of her going on the bus. She might have gone there for her walk and come back, to find danger waiting near her home.

However Gardaí now seem to think that Annie never went on that outing at all, that she was most likely abducted and assaulted shortly after she got home with the shopping that morning.

This idea emerged quite recently - the Guards have not given details on what prompted the change in their line of investigation but it seems to have something to do with an item owned by Annie, a distinctive leather shoulder-bag. And may also involve her ex-boyfriend, a man with a record of aggressive behaviour towards her. Possibly with an accomplice.

That's all that has been published about recent developments in the case - although I am sure there is plenty that has NOT been published. We know that searches were conducted at the former family home of the "boyfriend" But no more has been said about these possible suspects.

There the matter rests, for now.

Re Annie McCarrick, I believe her friends and family in America had faxed details of an assault that Annie had told them about. They included names of the assailants ( not sure if that's plural, maybe just one). These faxes were somehow never received or mislaid in the garda station. The investigation might have followed a very different line if enquiry if the information had been available, I wish Annie's mother could lay her daughter to rest, such a sad sad case, she seemed like a very decent young woman.

True, with Powerscourt Estate nearby and it being such a picturesque setting, I think it wouldn't be unusual to meet foreign tourists in Enniskerry and Johnny Foxes similarly. Sometimes you feel as though you know the people in these cases because you read so much about them and their circumstances, but it's fair to say, Annie seemed like a thoughtful, organized and caring person so it would be out of character to abandon the laundry or not put away the messages when she got home. She also didn't come across as one who'd take the notion to go on a hike, alone, late in the day, in bad weather and end up in a remote pub with no means of getting home....but what do I know!

Edited to say that anyone can end up stranded late at night, especially relying on public transport but just didn't seem like she would decide to do that.

Most of the time when a woman is murdered it's by a man well known to her. Thankfully the Larry Murphys of this world who abduct women not known to them with the intention to kill them are extremely rare.

I have just watched the RTE Prime Time investigation on Liam Farrell's death, that is a very strange case altogether, and very very sad for his family. Did I misunderstand or do the Gardai believe his dog removed his shoes and socks? And placed the shoes neatly beside the back door? Rooskey is a small place, surely someone seen that all unfold. May he rest in peace.

Does anyone know if there were any updates on the case of Dean Roche, who's missing since 2015? I know his friend Damien did YouTube and Facebook updates but it must be so hard for him, the investigation seems to have stalled at a very early stage.

I had never heard of this case before.
