Extensively researched but...

“No mention that Sophie rang her best friend Agnes in France (she was supposed to come on holiday with her) and told her that Ian Bailey had tried (in her garden) to get her to listen to his poetry (this ties in with him allegedly calling her in Paris before she travelled over requesting an interview in his capacity as a journalist). Surely that proves Bailey’s claim that he ‘saw her’ but never met her to be a blatant lie? Just like his original alibis!
Can’t anyone find phone records in Paris of him calling - presumably her husband’s film company - who would have provided the ‘journalist’ with her number, to prove he was indeed infatuated with her?
The evidence is out there, SOMEWHERE.
Had the Garda sealed off the crime scene, preserved the footprint, not left Sophie’s body in a ditch while the only pathologist in Ireland was too busy celebrating his birthday to turn up immediately, had the Garda photographed Bailey’s lacerations (did we not have cameras back then!), or appealed for people to check photos of the town to see if they captured the mystery man (after all it was two days before Christmas when visitors and locals do that sort of thing) the killer could have been caught within weeks.
Had the couple who claim to have heard Bailey admit the murder in his own home not come forward six months earlier (sadly one died recently) all this could be over decades ago.
Jules daughters should have been interviewed more thoroughly as they lived with Ian Bailey and knew him best. French courts used evidence from one of them.
What about Sophie’s nearest neighbours, did they heard NOTHING? A woman is being bludgeoned to death in the quiet of rural West Cork on a full moon and they heard nothing? There’s barely a mention of them.
The bonfire which Bailey’s neighbour witnessed , did nothing of what the garda found in it match anything pertaining to the murder or clothes he wore that night?
The murder weapon - did divers not search the river where Bailey was supposedly seen dumping an axe that was missing from Sophie’s house...
Instead we have a sequel now...Bailey’s longtime partner Jules has finally thrown him out. Will she reveal all, finally? Two movies are due out on the murder. Twenty-five years later and Sophie’s death is mere Hollywood fodder. No wonder her family is furious.
If Bailey goes to France where he’s been convicted in absentia, he will be locked up. Instead this Narcissist is feeding off the worms of fame - it’s an utter disgrace.
I’m ashamed that our great poet John Montague’s name is even associated with this fraudster.
Riveting podcast series, well done. But so many questions left unanswered which perhaps could have been addressed here.”

“Yes it’s “ professional “,, yet.....
This isn’t a story about a murder, it’s about a guy some people think did it
The Irish police?!?! What’s the point in having any at all?!!
Most obvious is nearly nothing about the woman who is murdered ..... what’s her name..... hours of her name barely...”Read full review »
