  1. Aah the poor man, sad that he didn’t get closure on his daughters murder. I hope he is at peace now 🙏

  2. I’m not a mad believer in God and all that jazz, but ya do hope for people like him who suffer the horrific loss of a loved one, that there’s some sort of afterlife that you find out what happened.

    Always think of people that go missing or are murdered, the poor families sometimes never really know what’s happened. Regardless of who ya think did or didn’t do it I hope he’s at peace now!!

  3. I think Bailey did it, always have. Not a single shred of hard evidence has emerged in thirty years to identify any other suspect only possibles – possibly the German musician or possibly the Bantry Garda and others. Yes, the evidence against Bailey is all circumstantial, at present, but this cold case review could reveal irrefutable evidence of his guilt. In one sense, it’s a pity he’s dead and no longer liable to face justice. I think with the passing of the years there may have been a softening of attitude among the public toward Bailey with more inclined to show sympathy for him and believe in his innocence. He ended up a shambolic drunk and a complete outcast but let’s not forget what the Bailey of thirty years ago was like in character, personality and physique.

  4. Rip….the french court convicted yet man but could not have him extradited and he is dead too now.. this might be one murder case which some know what happened and never be solved officially…

  5. Just read the final verdict by Senan Maloney. They ballsed up a few times. They should of done he who shall not be named for drink driving before the incident.

  6. Gardai absolutely screwed this entire case up, a complete balls-up, then looked for a scapegoat. Bailey was an attention-seeking oddball yes, but anything more than that? Hmmm

  7. Don’t think we’ll ever get to the truth of this case. Bailey the most likely culprit I feel but not a shred of physical evidence against him. I reckon he was the kind of narcissist who would have left a deathbed memoir detailing his confession and glorifying himself for getting away with it. But nada.

    Always felt Alfie Lyons got far too little scrutiny. His wife was allowed to continue her journey to the dump on the day of the murder whilst Sophies body still lay in the laneway. He had an injury on his hand more serious than anything on Bailey and he had possible motive. Then again not a shred of physical evidence against him either.
