missing people

Deirdre Jacob was picked up by a stranger apparently.
It’s over 20 years since I read that book.
If I recall correctly it covered 6 cases, 5 of which had definite key suspects, just insufficient evidence. In my head Jo Jo was the 6th girl who just vanished but I could be wrong. We know now who was responsible for her murder.
I understood the poor Deirdre Jacob girl was the only one of the 6 who could be linked to Larry Murphy. Deirdre had visited her grandmothers in town that day and disappeared on the walk home. It was later discovered that Larry Murphy a carpenter was working on her grandmothers roof around the time. An invoice/receipt was discovered in the grandmothers papers.

I have that book and others like it. Very sad and scary stuff.
 
Terrible. The families knowing who killed their daughter but not enough proof for the Gardai.
Political power and influence protecting 2 of the killers is sick and indicative of warped auld Ireland
It's more law and courts that need the proof, Gardai are as such aware of what is needed.

Nope.. the Gardai collect evidence and prepare a file and if they think it’s good/strong enough they send the file to the DPP.. Sometimes they never get even enough evidence to have a file for the DPP.. The DPP determines the next step

Take this Annie McCarrick case.. the Gardai are obviously following a definite line of inquiry based on new information they actually received over 2 years ago.. involving 2 brothers from a family she lived with for several years during her previous time living in Ireland. She dated 1 brother for a period. The 2 boys sister was one of her best friends and one the 2 girls due to have dinner with Annie that evening she went missing and is one of the 2 girls who went with the mom and reported Annie missing.

There is still another story, that even I see online tonight some people insist is the real truth, that her friends had nothing to do with her disappearance. That is was an IRA man, a known paedo. That she never made it to Johnny Foxes but got off the bus at an earlier stop and encountered this character.
