Just watched the story of Deirdre Jacob who disappeared outside her own door in 1998. This follows on the stories of Annie McCarrick and Jo Jo Dollard. Terrible cases.
How is it cracking crime though? If anything it shows that there are just some things that cannot be solved
That reminds me of a shocking conversation from Sunday night in the pub with rocko, jugs and neelo. We’re all going to hell.
These cases are all irrelevant now anyway. All our focus should be on that young McCann girl.
I read a book on Operation Trace, the Garda investigation into all those missing persons cases from the mid-90s. It was quite interesting and harrowing. I remember seeing the Crimeline on JoJo Dullard at the time and it scared the wits out of me. Been tempted to turn off to visit the monument in Moone when on the way to Carlow a couple of times but haven’t bothered. Hopefully the truth will come out at some stage - it’s horrible for the families.
All sorts of rumours have flown around
There was the guy who had abducted a girl in Carlow, raped her and drove her to a woods to kill her when he was disturbed by two hunters who knew him. He was arrested and is in jail now. They say that he was working on the house next door to Jacob’s at the time Deirdre went missing
Someone else said that Jo Jo was abducted by a Waterford drug gang. There was a witness that came forward who said that he saw a woman fitting her description running bare foot from a car only for some guy to run after her and drag her back into the car. Your man didn’t do or say anything at the time. What a spineless fucker
I saw an article with Jo Jo’s sister where she was pleading with the Gardai to begin digging up the land of a local farmer (unnamed obviously) near Moone who she’s certain murdered the girl.
That guy in the woods was called Laurence Murphy. He’s suspected to have carried out a couple but not all of the murders - think the one’s he’s alleged to have done are Jacob and that American girl.
