It’s a tactic alright but afaik genuine this time
Drugs or blackmail or something to do with a planned bank job - all feasible
But equally so they involve several ppl for each enterprise,
Especially a bank job-
So fair chance that several ( up to 5/6) ppl know or knew what actually happened
And still them or their families remain quiet- heartless scum
The Gardaí were able to enhance a grainy video and identify a lad from 20 years ago and trace him? Sure they were.

of course, sure the look at the old films on a high spec TV these days, the Godfather 1 looks like it was made yesterday it is so clear

The Gardai weren’t but the Detective Spud Murphy farmed it out to the mainland for expert help

Wasn’t AGS that enhanced it
But I get your point,
It was the only tangible evidence they reported they had
This recent news about Trevor Deely seems a bit odd to me, so this guy just happens to realise after all this time that he’s the person on the CCTV?

the investigation was a fuck up from the start. the cops wouldnt have any CCTV save that the family went around the area asking businesses if they had footage from the night in question. the cops didnt secure his [phonerecords either IIRC.
the family has done a lot more to keep this case alive than the cops

I find it hard to believe they could enhance 20 year old footage to a level that they could identify someone.
Whilst it would still be strange if the person had come forward (why wait so long) it would make more sense.
Perhaps they did come forward and it’s just been lost in translation.

I don’t believe it either. Resolution is resolution.
I wonder did the poor lad fall in the river, or was he done away with.
It’s a horrible yet compelling story, in compelling in part because the lad at the gate is like some sort of evil presence out of a film. It gives you the creeps.

I’m inclined to believe he fell into the river. It was an awful night weather-wise. Easy fall.

Could have
He seemed a harmless sort, a bit like (insert TFK posters name here), not the type of fella anyone would want to kill

From the bank CCTV footage you could tell he had a few drinks onboard
