Murder at the Cottage | Sky

Avinoam Sapir and Scientific Content Analysis. Bailey just needs to say "I didn`t do it", but he doesn`t. It is called circumlocution, which is the act of using more words than necessary in a deliberate attempt to be evasive.

I looked back for that, didn't find it here or Google search.

And I have been reading this thread from the start

Could you be so kind to link it here........

cool lol

Thanks Scooby

What part of NOT EXERCISED VERY OFTEN do you not understand. You think the Citizens Information are wrong?

I can see why you are squirming. The guards/judge and Alfie/Leo being hand in glove with drug production opens up the real reason the murder investigation was botched. The same methodology of deliberately bollixing it up was engaged.

And your fulminating at me not knowing this or that and the mighty you refusing to explain. I literally said I did not know PCs issued search warrants. But you seem to think I was claiming expertise.

So squirm away on your hook, hopefully Drew Harris will put away the remaining guards complicit in the cover-up and the real killer, their drug dealing pal.

If the investigation is reopened the questions of need answering

1) When was the cannabis grow bunker built?

2) Who built it and who funded it?

3) Who tended it and at what times?

4) Who distributed the goods? Were other people like shopkeepers or postal staff involved?

5) Who was the informant in 1994?

6) Who was the informant in 2010?

7) If the bunker or other growing facilities were there in 1996 why were they not found during the search following Sophie's murder?

8) Why was known drug grower Alfie Lyons not treated as the most likely suspect immediately? Why was he not arrested and questioned? Why was the mystery dog and the bite not investigated?

Just had a good look at the above .

The bit that interest me is,

So Garda Prenderville confidential information who helped with other cases in the past.

Unless Sophie was doing a "Jessica Fletcher going around the vicinity getting evidence against other criminals, this suggests to me that she was not the informant in Alfie's trial in 1994.

I Wonder if the informant in 1994 was the same informant in 2010.

If is was the same informant that would definitely rule out Sophie as she was deceased at that time.

IMO Sophie was not the informant in Alfie's trial

Can't answer all these questions but I can state that Alfie did grow and use cannabis (he did not sell any - or ever use hash) but stopped around 1995 for health reasons. There were no cannabis plants belonging to Alfie on his property - or on any one else's in August 1996. I know because I was on his property, walked around the whole place, would recognise both plants and a grow house, and there was a lot of teasing of Alfie over his plants being eaten by goats before he got around to destroying them.

As a by the by - cannabis cultivation was (and still is) widespread in West Cork.
