    I'd say there are at least two people to whom that is not a mystery.

    Yes. The dogs on the street know who was responsible there.

    Are there any peer reviewed papers or articles that have credible scenarios which support controlled demolition? Not the ones published by conspiracy theorist groups of course. There's plenty that support airplane impact, structural and fire damage.

    I'm a woman and I don't understand most other women. We're fed so much rubbish in the media. It's almost like women are bigger douches than men these days. We're not all that bad though.

    The Chase quiz show- Bradely rips the absolute p!ss out of The Beast, calling him huge and an eating machine, Anne for being frostyknickers and like something from the dinosaur era and Sean for being boring and having no friends.
    But he never ever slags off the other guy- Paul Sinha. I watch it daily and its really obvious that he lets the Sinha off with no slagging at all. Weird!

    That's an odd one that had me confused for a few minutes, not least because the officer is then seen again in the same spot in the next image. But missing officer is still there in the second link but his body is blocked from view by the officer with his sleeves rolled up - zoom in and look at the hat, there's two peaks and they're facing a different direction. Also, increase your brightness and look at the ground and you'll see the missing officer's shoe.

    Couldn't they test the letters for DNA? Wearside Jack (a Yorkshire Ripper imposter who taunted police by sending them letters and some audio tapes) was identified 30 or so years later throuh DNA testing.

    There's a popular unsolved mysteries forum over on this sitcom website and a poster there questions whether a colleague at the school was involved and if there were multiple copycat letter writers http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=348999

    Don't know about the why's and wherefores of the DNA testing but it was from the In Sight podcast. Plenty of murder mysteries on there.

    I'd say there are at least two people to whom that is not a mystery.

    Who are the two? Genuine curiosity

    Didn't know the case was recently reopened.

    The recent case of the Polish girl Magdalena Zuk who killed herself in Egypt. Not because it's my 'favourite' but because I think it's going blow the lid off modern day white slavery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,822 ✭✭✭✭bear1


    I'd be curious to know if there was any cctv footage for her at the airport.
    Something tells me there's more to that than the authorities are letting on.

    Is the theory that it wasn't in fact suicide and instead she was killed and thrown off the hospital?

    Jesus Christ, that's a disturbing video...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,520 ✭✭✭Stigura


    Is the theory that it wasn't in fact suicide and instead she was killed and thrown off the hospital?

    I've really no idea, IP. I just wondered what the first post, mentioning her name, was about. (I'd never heard of her). Googled the name and that link was top of the page. Ghastly! And, ye would have noticed the attention those guys paid to that window on the right ....

    Of course; It's LiveLeak. Not exactly Reuters then. Could be a clip from a horror film, for all I know.

    A cursory glance at yesterdays Google News though did rather remind me of that film " Hostel "! I mean; WTF?!

    Further; Taking it that that Is genuine footage of the girl? Surely that must have come from the hotel, rather than the hospital itself? Though, again; After what I read about the attitude of the hospital staff ....! :eek:

    I mean, Jesus Christ!

    Read further yeself, See what You can make of it. I've seen enough. And have pretty well drawn my own conclusions.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32 General Butt Naked

    Or that she killed herself after being tricked into sex slavery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,822 ✭✭✭✭bear1


    Tbh here in Poland there are quite a few spins on the story that it's hard to make heads or tails of it.
    Just unusual that whilst waiting for her flight home she supposedly went mad and had to be brought to hospital where see threw herself from the 3rd floor.
    In the video she seems quite scared and the body language of those around her doesn't really inspire confidence.
    I imagine there will be another autopsy when the body is repatriated.
    Seems as well that the boyfriend is receiving death threats because he didn't go. Talk about kicking someone when they are down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭irishproduce


    You don't exactly see her being beat in the video though. It is sped up too much. Poster above me says she looks scared?
    How can you tell that, it is grainy and no sound.

    Where is the theory on sex slavery coming from?

    I didn't mention sex slavery or being beaten :confused:
    I said it appeared from the body language, cowering into a corner and moving away from them hardly shows she is feeling secure.

    Well you can be sure nothing good happened to her. My theory is she accepted an offer to go to Egypt and 'hang out' with some rich Arabs for money. She was naive and believed no sex would be involved. Apparently she contacted her boyfriend in hysterics to say the men were 'doing things to her'.

    One thing for sure is Poles are not like western Europeans. They won't meekly accept one of their women being beaten and raped. I wouldn't be surprised if there's riots over this.

    Sorry I didn't mean to put words in your mouth.
    I was inferring from the comments posted, apologies.

    So what is the theory here then.
    Is it that she was over there doing a bit of the dirty for cash and then came upon her demise and was killed/ dumped?
    Are there any articles with that implication?

    The story which seems to be the most talked about here on the media and from others is that she bought the trip as a present for her boyfriends birthday.
    He hadn't realised his passport had expired (hence the death threats he is receiving) and told her she should go without him (madness).
    So she went all alone to Egypt.
    She seemed to have been pestered while there and called the boyfriend to say she is scared or something like this.
    Then at the airport she "snapped" they say and brought to hospital where you see the video.
    Tbh the whole thing stinks.

    Not sure if its been mentioned but the disapearance of Annie McCarrick near glencullen in the early nineties is really mysterious.

    Found out recently the sighting of her in Johnnie Foxes is unconfirmed. And the recent rumours of IRA involvement just add to the mystery.

    Shes buried in those mountains somewhere, never to be found.
