Unsolved Irish Mysteries.

You can’t arrest someone because you think they did it though.

The Detective Inspector who led her murder inquiry from the get go, believes he knows the identity of the murderer.

but he couldn’t make an arrest due to lack of evidence.

i read an interview with him where it was apparently a psycho odddball in his 20’s who lived in the area and who had an interest in knives and used to carry them for his work, I don’t recall what his job was but it was a trade of some sort…in addition he had psychological problems and a drug habit..

She wasn’t sexually assaulted or robbed…. Stabbed four times…side, chest and shoulder..

so it wasn’t a game gone wrong, it was a deliberate attempt, a successful attempt to murder her.

Who ?

Male /female . im going female,

Yeh massive leap. She just finds the MIB way too creepy. Thinks it's the same guy following on after him. I'm not sure to be honest. That's a busy enough road and I think if anything had gone down that the couple would have seen or heard something.

But what is that theory based on ?

I know it was mentioned a lot at the time of the search a few years ago.

But what makes that theory stronger than any other?

What makes it stronger than going into the water, by chance or otherwise and being carried out to sea?

Not necessarily.

He could have found an bankside to have a piss or get sick in and lost his footing.

Drunk people do risky thighs and fall into bodies of water, that's not unheard of.

Look at the case mentioned earlier of the guy found in the laneway.

What the heck brought him to that laneway in the first place ?

The guy waiting in the video takes a call, steps out and looks up the street, ducks back in and following Trevor around to the work gate. Weirdly, getting there first.

That may all be coincidence but it does look like he was being watched and followed.

Still find it odd that the waiting was never mentioned, only that he had an interaction with a lad at the gate and the only photo we were given was a side profile one.

My theory is that Reddit and Twitter are worse than boared dot ie for stupid rumours and outlandish ideas

I'd say the gardai are as clueless as the rest of us. When it came to missing persons cases and murders they were a sham back then.

No theory that involves Trevor being the victim of some criminal activity.

Because to arrest you need evidence… otherwise they could arrest the whole lot of her neighbours and have at it… might get the right result but not fair on the innocent neighbours…

if I’m a known car thief, and my neighbours car gets robbed… the worst the Gardai could do would be to knock on my door…and ask to question me.

if a neighbour said they looked out their window at 2am, 10 minutes before the theft, they saw Strumms at the scene opening the gate and looking in the car windows and trying the door, arrest away.

The murder of Michael McCoy in the Dublin Mountains six years ago. Apparently he had made a lot of enemies through his serial objecting to planning applications. Seems that its no closer to being solved.

I’m not subscribed but that it was a female is not a theory I can recall hearing before… ‘the murderer lies within her social circle’… wow…fûck.

here is the article from years ago that suggested the Gardai were sure it had been a local tradesman… https://www.independent.ie/regionals/herald/news/raonaid-prime-suspect-garda-chief-reveals-who-he-believes-killed-schoolgirl-27991867.html
