Interesting to hear the interview with Nick Foster (wrote the Murder at Roaringwster book) on Pat Kenny today. Foster comes across as a very measured and thoughtful person. He said in recent months new leads have been uncovered, that the case has progressed significantly since the 2 docs came out this year. He said one or two key people have started to resist intimidation, lose their fear, find their voice, and are speaking to the Gardai.

Again, he doesn’t come across as dramatic, but he did say there’s real reason to be confident we’re in the final stretch here from a DPP standpoint. Foster ended by saying he was extremely optimistic that we’ll see one or two arrests in the near term (sounded like within weeks to me). Make of it what you will …
