Waiting for coffee with his work buddy

Ringing his friend who got a voice mail

Talking to a strange man outside the bank

Forced to take holidays in December because he didn’t take them.

Going away alone.

Egged on by workmates to go to Alaska chasing some bird that was “busy with exam”

A group of them arrive at the gates to the office but he arrived alone.

Housemates were all gone home for the weekend.

The poor lad strikes me as a very lonely chap and sometimes I think if somebody had of gave him a few minutes that night or leading up to it it might have been different.

Of course they weren’t to know and it isn’t anybodies duty to make sure everybody they meet is ok.

Other times I think he got lured back to a girls house and was confronted with a few lads who planned on getting his pin and robbing him but he died by accident.

I think somebody may have tried his card though out of desperation if this happened and punched in the wrong code a few times.

Must be horrible for the family playing over what might of happened again and again knowing that somebody is out there that doesn’t even have to give names but can let them know what happened. Give them closure.

Not alone do his actions not fit the signs, but his appearance at the party, his phone call to his friend afterwards, and his general demeanor with family and friends at the time have ensured that the investigating team ruled this out, at an early stage.

So the guards position is there is just 1 MIB.
He can be seen seconds behind him outside Milanos.

You'd also have to assume that if MIB was a well known criminal figure he's not gna stand in view of cctv for that long. He's not gna be persist with TD after conversing with his two work colleagues. Just again more anamolies there.

KWAG2019

After the interview today I think we did learn that its less likely that TD was swept out to sea having entered water. I'm left then where we started with the violent altercation. Because no body has been found I have to think that that altercation happened in a vehicle or house/flat linked to some person in particular.

After that I end up with even more questions. But if someone had a struggle with a strong young man there is noise; if some people have to move a body out of a flat there is a lot of coming and going. Someone who moved through that area around Milano's as it is now or lived there heard or saw something unusual. There are always delivery people, always parents with sick children, people going to work early, street cleaners, shift workers, dog walkers, insomniacs(!) What I'm saying is that someone unconnected with this knows some small piece of it, something that niggled at the time and thought no more of it.

Why would you assume that.

Street thugs can be quite blatant and none too bright.

The biggest anomaly I've found in this thread is the theory that he just hopped in the dodder. Which is a theory with as much evidence or thinking as he was beamed up by aliens.

- What happened to this young man?

'opped in river innit.

- Why do you think that.

Him falling or being blown in the dodder was the number one theory after he went missing.

But your post from yesterday implied that Trevor was being watched for a period of time prior to the Thursday night.

That these criminals knew he worked in a "bank" etc
Knew his walking route etc .

That bit I find hard to believe that he would be a premeditated target, and that a local Baggott St gangs/thug would wait for 30mins in pissing rain in full view of CCTV to attack him when in reality the area had many targets that could be attacked there and then.

It was a mad post altogether.

Coz young men with alcohol taken fall into water late at night far more often than they get murdered and buried in unknown places after muggings that go wrong perpetrated by low level gangsters that have watched them for weeks then decide to carry out their plan after after seeing them by chance in a night club and after standing in the rain for over 30 mins in full view of CCTV.

What are you on about ? The distinctions between each develop over time and are only at the descriptive whim of the journalist reporting..

The detective super in that area was there for years, the late PJ Browne. I'd guess there is little that went on that he didn't know about. Proving it is of course another matter.

If it was a criminal element and if the stories about the Crumlin connection are correct, you can be guaranteed that its someone who was involved in the feuds not long after.

From the stories printed two years ago and that have resurfaced in recent weeks, the list of suspects could possibly be whittled down to a handful.

Yes, these youtube channels are monetised based on views and how long people watch for. So if people actually think about it they should know not to take them too seriously. I'm sure there are some factual ones too but like most things it's the sensationalist ones that usually get more notice.

Plus these Youtubers doing true crime are mainly American and broadcasting to an American audience. So the guy in the Cold Case video pushes the Alaska angle as he knows it will help get more clicks from an American audience. Funny thing is though he has clearly read the Irish Times 3 part series because he quotes from it a few times. Which means he has read there that the Alaska angle was completely ruled out by both the Gardai and TDs family as a red herring. But that still doesnt stop him specualting on it because more clicks=more money for him.

Nor does it stop him speculating that TD was a financial and computer whizz and therefore leaning towards bank fraud when we all know that TD was an IT junior just updating servers and databases. It is disingenious and cyncial reporting but they knowingly do it because they need to sell a type of story to excite their audience and the wilder the theory the better as far as they're concerned.

No its not. I can assure you of that. I being more belligerent than anything. I was trying to be as respectful to the deelys as possible but here goes.

I really feel that after 19 years if the Deelys want us to remember Trevor then they need to accept people will speculate etc. They are the ones who keep re releasing the details into the public domain.

The media have published a story via and AGS source which suggests he was killed in a chance encounter by a well known criminal gang. Criminal gangs in that area were involved in a paticular business. I think at this point people will offer their theories.

Perhaps it was a petty criminal and a mugging gone badly wrong. But any evidence available ( lack of body, witnesses. Weapon , TDs clothes etc) point to it being something a little more sophisticated than a junkie.

Anyone could have a heroin habit.

MIB if a criminal, could be all the way from convicted murderer down to street dealer and any/all points in between. Family associate. Enforcer you name it.

Personally I don't see him as being too bright/sophisticated. At a guess local roughian who will stick two fingers up at the system.
Type to be told what to do by the bigger boys. Such as stand in the rain.

Known, but not exactly for running a ponzy scheme.

Fair enough. But vanishing a body and almost every trace of evidence like that? Would someone on Heroin or going through withdrawals have the capacity to do that? Would they bother? Maybe they just got very lucky.

Clearly the MIB is the key in all this. If the guy waiting at the the gate and then the guy following TD in the final piece of footage are the same person then you would have to say he was involved in some way, it's way way too coincidental otherwise.

I walk by that bank building every day, if MIB is not involved at all I'd love to know what he was doing that night standing there for that long. It's not anyway sheltered, and if he's simply asking for change/smokes you would think he'd have been better off on Leeson Street or up towards the Green. He wasn't there by accident I don't think. That stare he gives when looking in the gates is odd too.

It's definitely a possibility that TD's disappearance was caused by a criminal element, but definitely wouldn't rule out the possibility of ending up in water accidentally or whatever either, although as pointed out above that scenario does become less likely upon hearing his family gave DNA samples to be cross checked with bodies found.

There is a lot of that going on because there are unusual events.

The Alaska event is a total red herring which yields nothing. It's just an unusual place for anyone to go leading up to the events which happened. The only reason why people speculate on Alaska is because it was so close to the time Trevor Deely went missing.

Likewise with the Bank stuff. He was a young man who was very junior doing very straightforward but important tasks. Not unusual as he was on the first rung of the ladder of his career. Walton Terrace in the year 2000 was no Gordon Gekko style Wall Street building.

What is of interest though is obviously the fact that he was he was being monitored by dodgy looking characters who were watching & following him. This, and the fact that AGS were searching Chapelizod a couple of years ago, lends itself to the idea that Trevor became a victim of criminals operating in the area and there was no accident (like drowning).

Yet there is zero evidence for believing that Trevor had any links with these people as his behaviour was completely normal after he left BWs to go to his place of employment.

It does seem that he was targeted for a reason he probably never knew but might have become apparent afterwards.

It's probable that there are one or more witnesses (or others with info) to what happened to Trevor who, for a variety of reasons (mainly fear of reprisal), have never come forward. AGS and the Deely family seem, I suspect, to believe this and each year they reach out in hope that others can consider their thoughts and come forward.

If he was a well known criminal surely would’ve been identified early in the investigation. Nobody seems to have identified him in all these years.

Mate in a car.

If there was a body, it wasn't found on the street.

Canal was locked up.

A convenient house at just the right place would be a very unlikely coincidence.

A car or maybe even a skip could hide a crime.

Or maybe he just disappeared like David blaine.

Interpretation of news reporting can be daunting. I have found that you cannot depend on one piece of reporting.

Many of the well known criminals, or members of criminal families have hopeless addiction problems. They are not loaded, they are not masterminds, although it sometimes may appear that way from the way it is reported. Many are thugs. They start off small and become prolific, through intimidation and ruthless & mindless actions etc.

Dont be snarky now.

What i think happend changes from time to to time based on re reading the evidence.

There was an article from a few years ago which suggest Trevor was murdered in a house by a well known criminal. That to me is plausible. Why they would target him and an MIB follow him isnt plausible. No motive whatsoever for a premeditated crime. Why would anyone wait in the rain like that to mug someone when there is hundreds of way easier targets to victimise. Trevor was a big guy also so by no means a soft target.

I think Trevor had a run in with a gang controlling street crime in the area. I believe he by his own accord ended up in a property in the locality.

I just cant see how it would be in any way premeditated.

It is the case that before Trevor arrived at Wilton Terrace that the MIB at Wilton Terrace proceeded to take a phone call, then engage Trevor in conversation after moving to talk to him. As he did so he seemed to be aware of BoI cameras as he kept his back to the cameras. All of this after waiting for 30+ minutes in the rain on a terrible night re the weather.

My understanding is that AGS believe this is the same person who followed him on HR.

No. He got caught by the bollox by the work colleagues. Wasn't expecting them at all. Just like he got caught by the bollox when TD stopped to call on his phone.
And the plonker had to keep walking, so knowing that TD was an employee of the Bank he walked down the lane.
Where he proceeded to get caught on CCTV again.

He could have put 2+2 together and kept walking down wilton. Where TD would follow in a bit. But he wasn't supposed to lose track of TD, as the behind man.

So instead he ended up with his mug on camera, gawking after his target like a dog outside a supermarket.

Or maybe he was just gawking through that gate for inspiration.

The gates and layout are still the exact same as the time of this incident. Well the actual gate itself might be different, I'm not sure, but the layout hasn't changed. I don't actually know if it is still BOI in there, always presumed it is. Whatever company is there the building is still fully operational, they have their Xmas tree up.

It's a very odd place to find yourself hanging around at 4am on a rainy night. Theres literally no excuse for hanging around on that street at that hour unless you're up to no good.

@ Fr Tod. Well I have followed the criminal angle (low level dealers more like). It was first presented in the press in 2017. The person who supposedly was helping AGS was ID'd on that famous crime photographer's twitter page - a post that exists still.

If you follow those articles and how they were described at the time you are left with 2 or 3 possible crime families. 2 from Rutland Grove, 1 of which went on to be a crew member of a now notorious and third Crumlin based family.

Proof though is always the problem, as is the reliability of the sources. Many have died as a result of addiction or gangland. The guards seemed pretty convinced to dig up Chapelizod not so long ago.

I think suicide can be ruled out due to the umbrella. Most likely it was wrong place, wrong time.

I can work out first one and third but not second. Seems there was and possibly still is a big problem with dysfunctional crime families from that specific road or estate.

It's a very odd place to find yourself hanging around at 4am on a rainy night. Theres literally no excuse for hanging around on that street at that hour unless you're up to no good.

Pimp keeping an eye on things is about the only thing that adds up.

I again say that the narrative been given is the place was isolated. Like a ghost town. Id think there was a fair amount of foot traffic around. If we had access to the full cctv you would see a few people walking past.
