Unsolved Irish Mysteries.

Maybe he was driving a different car

JoJo's family believe it was him for some reason. They have been vocal about this from the word go, if they had doubts about the truth of it, they surely would have remained silent?

Agree. Last week, I watched the Netflix doc about Rachel Nickell who was murdered in Wimbledom common in 1992. A few days later, I saw a Discovery crime doc about the dreadfully poor police work on that case, and the way Colin Stagg was accused, arrested, kept in prison for 15 months, let go, etc.. this went on for years. Rachels parents, after his court case was thrown out by the judge, spoke outside the court that justice was not done and pointed to Stagg as the guilty party. They maintained for years that Stagg was guilty.

Over 10 years later Robert Nappa, unknown to Rachel or Stagg was charged based on DNA and fingerprints .. in court he went on to admit killing Rachael. He had raped and killed a number of women in public parks in the London area over a 10+ year period.

Stagg's life was ruined due to being wrongly accused, he recieved a piss £750k in compensation from the Home office. He lives in a bedsit, stays in most of the time, unable to lead a normal life since. I wonder how her family felt about Stagg when Nappa was found guilty, and all they said about him in public and to the press.

If you want more on that case there is a good book "Napper: Through a Glass Darkly"

I see from RTE television that Crimecall will be examining the Deirdre Jacob case next Monday evening.

Plus other unsolved mysteries too, of course.

Has this did concluded or is it still going on? Doesn't seem to be any mentions

I do hope there’s a positive outcome - it must be heartbreaking for the families. You would think there’ll be some developments given the extent of the operation - the information provided must have been incredibly solid and detailed

Crimecall are renewing the appeal for information on the womans remains found on the Middleton-Youghal greenway. That was such a strange one cos they seem to think she had been in a coffin and possibly illegally exhumed

It doesn't cost them much to make another appeal, so it would be seen as worth it for the very small chance that someone with a guilty conscience comes forward with some info - maybe it's not who we think it is, and the real perpetrator cracks, or confessed to someone else, who cant live with the burden of carrying the secret, or wants to get their own revenge on the killer and decides to take the opportunity to dob him in.

The man on Crimecall said they were doing this dig "near Castleruddery" and that it is (or may be) connected with both of the missing women, Jacob and Dollard. (If I understood him right)

Well he probably meant that Either is a possibility, rather than Both.

Does anyone know the exact location of where they are digging? Like with GPS co-ordinates?

I thought they found so many coffin handles that it looked as if someone had been excavating on the site of a graveyard and had dumped the spoil on this deserted old railway route. Maybe illegally, or just careless, at the corner of a field adjoining a graveyard ? (just guessing)

And maybe they didn't realise that one of the graves held a more recent burial - this old lady, RIP - and the whole lot got dumped in a pile - planks, handles, and the coffin contents - bones, shroud, a cross and shoes etc,
