Cold Case Review of Sophie Tuscan du Plantier murder to proceed. **Threadbans in OP**

Alfie was only in his 60s when this murder happened. He wasn't a frail old man at all. As I understand it he had breathing issues but that doesn't rule him out as incapable. When people are in a rage it is very surprising what they could be capable of.

I'm not saying Alfie was responsible but ruling him out on health grounds is ridiculous.

As regards Bill Fuller - Fuller and Bailey were good friends who then fell out. Fuller went to the Gardai with his piece after he fell out with Bailey. How credible is he? Bill Fuller is another of the many dodgy witness's and characters involved in this case.

I'm not sure what you've got against Bill Fuller? He's not making stuff up, what reason do you have to think that he is? He believes Bailey admitted the circumstances of Sophie's death to him and it's a plausible explanation.

He's not making stuff up?

For starters you dont know that.

Secondly his conduct is dubious such as timing of when he disclosed this info. And the bizarre behaviour at the bridge.

And thats a total misrepresentation of what Bailey is even alleged to have said.

He was frail, he had health issues and people in the area state he wouldn't be capable of running, attacking, lifting a heavy block etc to kill Sophie. They could be lying of course, as could Bill Fuller, as could the numerous other witnesses who made statements against Bailey. They all could be really dodgy as well as AGS being corrupt. It could all be some major conspiracy to pin it on him.

Or maybe the more likely thing is that none of them were lying and it was actually Bailey! I'm not sure why you believe him above everyone else.

Well in the broadcast I seen of Alfie he didn't appear frail and incapable at all. Alfie was only in his early 60s when the murder happened.

Alfie actually had motive, had an injury, was near the scene and acted strangely afterwards yet he wasn't treated as a suspect

Maybe he was and was ruled out? We don't know his health situation, we can only go on what people say. And Bailey explained his motive.

Mad conspiracy theory stuff? That's an absolute blatant deflection.

Such as AGS bribing a witness with drugs?

Such as the shenanigans with Marie Farrell?

Such as the Garda Jobs Book being tampered with and pages destroyed?

Members of AGS on the Bandon tapes discussing malpractice?

But no, according to you whatever AGS said or documented must be true and if you disagree you're a conspiracy theorist.

Witnesses lie in trials, or misremember.

Some witnesses in this trial must be lying or misremembering because there are conflicts about basic facts. I don't throw out nonsense like 'mad conspiracy theories' though.

There's lot of cases of police forces fixating in someone who turns out to be innocent. Innocent people are accused of murder. Police forces are out to get 'a result'. Innocent people end up in jail.

Only a fool could think just because someone is accused of murder by the police, all the witnesses in their pocket are telling the truth and the accused is guilty.

Apparently it's a conspiracy theory now to point out that miscarriages of justice happen!

I don't think Alfie had any issues lifting a stone and hitting Sophie. This could have been done rather easily, regardless of his physical situation back then.

There are just too many behavioral issues pointing towards AGS collusion and cover ups. That's simply the problem. The AGS certainly doesn't seem to be in a positive light. It is entirely possibly, just by their behavior that it was one of their own and they covered it up.

I don't know about Alfie. However if he did it, Shirley was in it as well and Alfie's motive was most likely drug related.

Sophie seen something she shouldn't and she was going to do something and had to be stopped.

After all, Alfie and Shirley were the only ones alone with Sophie on that particular night. There was with utter certainty nobody else for the duration of the night, plus both could have operated in secrecy under cover of darkness the whole night with a certain level of security of not getting discovered.

What level of drug dealing, or production, was Alfie at? Was he some kingpin in the area or just dealing to mates?

If it’s the latter I doubt he’d be too bothered with any retaliation, or provocation, regarding complaints but if it’s the former then that would be something he wouldn’t want coming up.

I wasn't there so how should I know with certainty, and most likely neither were you.

However if he was abusing drugs ( I believe he smoked something on occasions...) he must have gotten it from somewhere. And news sure travels fast in rural Ireland where neighbours seem to know each other, even the name of their dogs.....

I am pretty sure he knew Leo Bolger and a few things about his life.

Considering Alfie and Shirley's lifestyle I don't think that they were at a higher level in the trade, or they were good at hiding it.

It is not inconceivable that they both knew something more than they ever told the police.

This 100 times over.

People will make all sorts of excuses for Bailey and claim that everyone else was lying, or was mistaken or got things wrong etc etc.

But still there he is.

Missing from his house the night of the murder, and that only coming to light while under arrest.

With a history of violence towards women.

With scratches that only his partner and her kids claim came from a turkey, or a tree or whatever.

With ambiguity around whether he knew her or not.

With the fact that he admitted to killing her to two different people on two different occasions.

It's very obvious why he has always been the prime suspect.

Why would Sophie be aware or even care if there were drug operations going on locally? She was only there a few times a year to get away from her Paris lifestyle. Then there’s the claim of the White Lady she apparently saw up at Dunmanus Castle and that she was spooked by it. Oddly enough the term white lady is used as slang for cocaine so did she see something she shouldn’t have or did someone see her seeing something she shouldn’t have and tracked her home? Just a thought on a scenario that might be plausible. The White Lady thing almost sounds like someone trying to tell something in a roundabout way. I’m sure AGS homed in on it and ruled it out anyway.

Everyone's out to get poor Bailey. The Gardaí, all the witnesses etc but conveniently, we can believe the guards when they find something that helps Bailey. 🤣

All the people who implicate Bailey are dodgy characters, scheming to pin it on Bailey. It's ludicrous and a complete conspiracy theory.

We can go back and forth on this. Alfie wasn't able physically, while the circumstantial evidence points to Bailey. That's my opinion, yours differs.
