Missing Women in Ireland

No, I wouldn’t advocate the practice of placing sausages in the nutribullet but fire ahead if you see fit.

[QUOTE=“artfoley, post: 1124040, member: 179”]Every year, there are nearly 8000 people reported missing to the Gardai. The majority of these cases are resolved. For the 100+ cases that are not resolved , their families must live with the uncertainty. Where a person over 18 has made obvious plans to leave, are not suffering from any mental or physical disability and are not in any apparent risk, then there is no guarantee that their case will be accepted by the Gardai as a missing persons report.
A distinction was made up to Autumn 2003 between “acceptable” and “unacceptable” cases. The terms “acceptable” and “unacceptable” were used to distinguish betwen two categories of missing persons. The term “acceptable” referred to a) persons under 18 years, b) aged persons, c) physically or mentally disabled persons, or d) persons whose disappearance takes place in circumstances which give rise to fears for the person’s physical or moral safety. After 2003, these classifications changed to Categories A, B, and C.
“Category A” (High Risk) covers the reports which require immediate action on the assumption that the missing person is at serious risk, such as child abduction or possible suicide threats."
“Category B” (Medium Risk) refers to persons who may have disappeared of their own volition and are asumed not to be at any immediate risk such as persons who have a reason to leave or have left a note stating that they do not intend to return.
“Category C” (Low Risk) includes reports where there is no apparant threat of danger to the missing person or the public such as a person over 18 who has decided to start a new life.

So he’ll be ‘known to gardai’

This apparently the lad who’s gaff she went back to[/QUOTE]

In my view there’s slim to no chance that anybody else did this apart from the “non-suspect”. [SIZE=3]I’ll put it this way, if somebody else did do it, he’s had one hell of a stroke of bad luck.[/SIZE]

My theory is that they met on Tinder, went to the club separately, she was pissed, hence her jacket got left in the club, he drove her back to the flat, she left after an argument, hence the supposed witnesses at 4am, (why else would there be witnesses at that time), he followed a short time later in his car, the argument resumed after he tracked her down in the street, and he bundled her into the car and drove off somewhere in the direction of the park and killed her. Her body then remained in the car until Monday when he headed up into the mountains towards Loch Lomond. He didn’t come forward of his own volition and the police traced him. I doubt they are even considering anybody else.

The handbag being found in a bin in the park which is the opposite direction away from where she would have been going pretty much rules out that she fell into a river or canal, I think.

I always knew there was something dodgy about Graham Linehan :frowning:

I’m speculating that he did it as the guy looks like a complete creep and has the air of a sex offender about him.

Do you have much experience in analysing sex offenders?

No.

Why are papers printing his photo and name - remember the Jo Yeates murder and Christopher Jeffries was arrested and papers had him more or less convicted

Vincent Tabak was ultimately convicted - killed her in apartment and moved body in car

are the witness reports at 4am reliable?

What did witness reports at 4am say? Something about she got into a silver car? Was there a struggle mentioned then as on reading it i thought there was no mention of a struggle? Presume your man has a silver car?

maybe so, but I’d love to see how they went before a judge to get a search warrant for the car and flat of a person who isn’t a suspect

Did they get a warrant? Was it not said he was co-operating with police and it was known she was in both his apartment and car shortly to her disappearance.

There is a lack of clarity around whether there are any independent witnesses from 4 am?

depends on what cooperation means, but even if he was cooperating fully and granted them access to the flat, they’d want to make sure they’re bullet proof in case a prosecution arises later

Perhaps the man in the picture above is the same witness who saw her alive at 4am?

As Art says, the Police are probably following the textbook very closely on this.

The claim of the 4am “witnesses” comes from a comment made by the non-suspect’s mother, so in answer to @TheUlteriorMotive’s question, no, the reports of these witnesses are not reliable, which is why I said “supposed”. I don’t know how reliable a 4am witness could be anyway. But if the witness/es do in fact exist, you’d have to wonder why they would have seen anything, unless there was some sort of argument or shouting. There’s always a chance somebody might have been getting dropped off in a taxi at the time and seen something, but more likely the street would have been deathly quiet at that time with everybody asleep. It also doesn’t look like the kind of place where many people know each other. This guy was a loner I’d say, and judging by his rather crude efforts at counterfeiting money, I’d say he wasn’t the brightest, either.

I hope to fuck this wasn’t a case of some lad sitting in a car sober as a judge waiting for drunk birds to fall out of a nightclub…

I cant believe she left a nightclub voluntary with a sub species the like of that
