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

There is nothing in Sophie's detailed writings diary etc recording any mention of Ian or Eoin Bailey.

These witnesses crawled out of the woodwork with these memories when the French needed them.

Memories none of them are on record as mentioning this around the time of the murder.

Eye witnesses get details wrong about crimes they witnessed. Recollections of trivial details from before the murder, only surfacing years later are highly dubious.

Among the other guys was Leo Bolger, who remembered this years after the fact, doesn't seem to have told anyone at the time of the murder this nugget of information and is a convicted criminal. Another dodgy memory remembered years after the fact by a dodgy character.

And there's nothing in Sophie's detailed diaries mentioning Bailey. But supposedly she was going around telling friends about him. Doesn't add up and never has.

Whats dodgy about pointing out there is no record of Bailey in Sophies diary? Yet apparently she thought it worth mentioning to some of her friends?

But note another friend who gave statement in the months after the murder dont mention Bailey at all but mention Carbonnet as being on her mind as a psychopath.

The case against Bailey is based on a dodgy narrative. Dodgy testimony, dodgy characters abound, dodgy Garda conduct. And yes you could say Bailey is dodgy but thats often the sort of person who ends up a victim of a miscarriage of justice. They are their own worst enemies... some sort of outsider to the community... a set of unlucky coincidences. It happens.

Which is why we have DPP to gatekeep evidence and guard against unsafe prosecutions, by establishing a bar for evidence.

A little coincidental she gets killed on her first solo stay in cork

Also she was leaving on the 24th

I wonder did Bailey know all this

What errors did you notice?

I doubt Bailey knew she was definitely alone - Sophie's husband definitely did know she was alone though. The Hellens and the Ungerers knew she was alone and possibly Alfie and Shirley knew.

Oh and the plumber knew if he fixed the heating during her stay.

In the netflix documentary the family discuss that they were surprised Daniel didn't go to Ireland after the murder. They also mention that Daniel was in financial difficulties. They also mention that Daniel was very well connected in France and Chirac was a very good friend of his. They don't say anything much else about him but it's clear they didn't have much of a relationship with him so we can interpret that as we wish.

Him not coming over is another red herring same as Alfi going to the dump

😂 Right so are you saying that it's a lie that Daniel didn't come to Ireland and it's a lie that Shirley went to the dump after discovering her neighbour murdered.

You do realise that both above did actually happen and are not red herrings at all.

He didn't come to Ireland immediately after the death afaik

I believe he arranged her funeral in France ?

Is there evidence of this financial difficulties?

The divorce speculation doesn't appear to be accurate

Look at the Netflix documentary - Sophie's family mention that Daniel had financial difficulties.

Daniel did travel to Ireland after Sophie was murdered and met with the Gardai and spoke about the meeting afterwards.

This is a fact.

There is someone who would have been up and around Sophie's property in the early hours of the morning. Someone whose family kept livestock there that had to be checked twice a day.

Someone who would have pulled the gate open to allow their vehicle through.

Someone whose fingerprints were found inside Sophie's house. (why this particular person's fingerprints were inside the house I do not know.)

Someone who probably would have had knowledge of the pump house, if the block came from there and if it was used in the murder

A few notes of interest:

how Finbarr Hellen and his son John thought it odd that Sophie didn't come out to say hello to them like she usually did

how Josephine Hellen said it was the first time Sophie didn't bring gifts for her children

how Josephine Hellen said it was Alfie who had been using Sophie's bath

how it was John Hellen who discovered the bottle of wine

Yes, it’s a fact he came to Ireland, 3 years after Sophie was murdered.

I agree with this.
