Murder at the Cottage | Sky

How about the forensic investigation was good? There are no prints, dna whatever of anyone outside of 3 people we know for fact were in the immediate vicinity. How things happened are generally secondary to narrowing down the suspects.

So grow up and move on to why it might be covered up.

Let me summarise what the DPP said to the Guards about the investigation ; What do you want me to do with this SH*T?

This is one of many forums where there are people(shills, trolls) active whose sole intention is to move the focus off the only peope we know were in the vicinity of the murder.

The phantom killer, hitman who comes out of nowhere, disappears into thin air and leaves not a trace behind? That wouldn't be a conspiracy theory?

Any photos/originals from crime evidence from Sophies front garden? (& btw not a clump of briars in sight )

I think Sophie ran down her lane possibly in the dark/early morning and instead of turning right at the hairpin bent went straight thru the scrub/briars/brash into the field, either due to visibility issues or being disorientated.

This would explain some of her injuries, & the cops/scene in the field from yesterdays photos, her being snagged on the fence, having climbed or been thrown over...& blood on the gate as it was climbed from the field side...

If this was the route she was terrified throughout...& knew she was about to be killed..

So I'd say from the cover-up we know a member of AGS is involved. We have the Garda from Bantry and the supposed confession. So I'd factor him in. Who was MF with? talk is a local detective.

So then you've to wonder why MF is in the vicinity at 3AM with said detective. There is also a total reluctance to prosecute MF from the state for her lying under oath and being in contempt of court. There is also the fact she paid for her 500k home without a mortgage. Very odd indeed you'd have thought very humble earnings from a small convience shop at that time.

So if you really want to bring all these together with Alfie, your having to suggest a drug growing, smuggling or importing chain.

Alternatively maybe rouge Bantry detective is just a womaniser certainly keeps the storyline more linear. It gets vastly more complicated when Alfies brought in. However maybe there is some sort of shared guilt. Perhaps he introduced the womaniser garda to Sophie to return a favour.

You're getting there; gate flare-up because of the age old Irish neighbourly feud

This photographic evidence could give credence to the theory that she was running down the lawn toward the gate (yellow arrow) and managed to open it before being caught. I never realised that this particular gate existed. I thought there was just the one - the main (shared) entrance gate to both properties. There is another gate, I think, - not visible here - leading onto adjacent farmland, obscured by the hedge at the bottom of the lawn.

Where did they find Alfie and Shirley`s prints and dna?

The guards did investigate over 50 suspects. They made lots of mistakes, no question, but they did investigate people. Alfie and Shirley were investigated, as were anyone who was known to have worked at the property. Only Ian Bailey has consistently remained as a suspect.

We don't know there was a cover-up, we've never had any proof of a cover-up. We've had evidence of malpractice, that's not a cover-up. MF has given plenty of interviews and has never shut up since the case begin other than to keep this one bit of info to herself. Why not admit it was a guard? Her husband was clearly aware by the early 2000s at least.

Marie Farrell laughed and found it funny to send the guards on a wild goose chase to find the man she was with. A man who may have helped build a case to prosecute the murderer of Sophie. On the Bandon tapes, a detective, who didn't know he was being recorded, spoke to her about trying to find her lover. He mentioned chasing down two leads she gave them. It doesn't add up that they just used her as a cover-up based on those tapes.

In this clip (borrowed from Koude Kass) Sophie walkes past the pump house... 2 points.

1. the pump house is located behind a gate therefore ... her pump behind her gate.

2. The pump house appears to have only one block missing. (pumps need an element of ventilation to prevent condensation/rust).

Indeed. Baily is the foremost expert in Ireland on this case..Its a pity he has never been fairly interviewed at any point, either by the Media or Guards. I'm sure he has significant insights.

I'm not suggesting he is innocent of involvement. I don't know if he was or not, but I'm sure he has made a life study of all the supporting characters in this sh1t show, he definitely has more to offer.

Use your wild imagination

That says it all really.

If you can turn Ian Bailey into a naked cross-country running Superman lesbian harem-owning dancer surely you can figure out where people who share a laneway might leave evidence of themselves behind.
