Sophie: A Murder in West Cork - Netflix.

While all hire cars may not have had hubcaps,

not all cars without hubcaps are hire cars.

Metallic light blue or light grey could easily be mistaken for silver.

It seems bizarre that more wasn't done to confirm the identity of the car and occupants. The above excerpt has the car at the garage in Skibbereen between 2pm and 3pm. The garage owner stated he was certain it was Sophie Toscan du Plantier yet in the Irish Mirror article I linked to a few posts up he says "The guards who I gave the statement to said that it couldn’t have been her as she was spotted in Ballydehob buying firewood close to the time I gave that day."

Surely being spotted fifteen minutes away close to the time of the garage owner's possible sighting should lend weight to his statement rather than detract from it.

The possibility that someone may have been with Sophie should surely have been significant to the investigation. That it was never established if the car was hers seems a serious oversight.

It is bizarre to think that more wasnt done to find out if the car seen at the garage was Sophies. What time did Sophie fly into Ireland at?

If it was Sophie who was the man in the car with her - yes it could be Ian Bailey or it could be someone who flew over with her, or it could be somebody she collected on her way from the airport. Can we be sure she was even on her own in the house and didnt have a houseguest?

Given the time of year though and alot of people were on the move - Friday afternoon before Christmas it is possible it was someone else completely.

The garage owner is also certain that it was Sophie. His statement was made two weeks later. It wouldn't be unusual, for a statement make after two weeks to have some inaccuracies, especially in small details.

A possible sighting close to the time she is believed to have been seen in Ballydehob, fifteen minutes away, should have been followed up and positively confirmed or eliminated. That it was never traced is a loose end that leaves too many important questions unanswered in the investigation adding to the doubt of any one particular narrative.

Inaccuracies in statements is one thing but I'm just pointing out according to his own statement he is describing a different car. He made a particular point about it, so he has remembered that detail correctly according to him.

Just on the fiestas if the one seen bombing around at 7am had a red reg it was an older model. I've read the Seargent had a blue fiesta, was his an older model?

The skid marks by the gate, surely to god they were photos of them taken? My cousin vinny would be all over that

I've read that somewhere too but haven't seen any detail similar to the possible Skibbereen garage sighting. How certain is it that the Ballydehob sighting was Sophie.

Both sightings should be compared for the consistency or inconsistency of descriptions of the car and driver. It is possible both, one or none of the sightings were Sophie. Determining which should have been important.

So he must be mistaken, if he is misremembering one thing who's to say any of it is accurate.

Like when Jules remembered IB had a scratch on his that wasnt there in the day before!?
