And I can tell you from personal experience people around this area are very............inquisitive

…inquisitive is a good word, I was trying to think of a descriptive but where my thoughts are is that even with someone who fairly much wanted to keep themselves to themselves…?…he’d lived there for 3/4 years in the property of a very popular local man who was a huge part of the community and very well liked…?…they wouldn’t allow themselves to not fully extend Irish hospitality, would they…they would be welcoming and they would also be inquisitive…so that’s something that I was thinking…also reading this….

THE man arrested over Michael Gaine’s murder was in dispute with the Department of Justice prior to the farmer’s death, we can reveal.

The Irish Sun has learned that the man, in his 50s, had interactions with the authorities, which also involved the Gardai.

…and the articles say that the questioned man had ‘extensive networks in another country’, whatever that would mean…but he was released without restriction and not considered a flight risk…

Maybe he doesn't have an in date passport or something that they think he won't run? I don't know

…yeah I guess that could be an explanation, that they know that he can’t leave the country…I guess that I was probably over-thinking in terms of …was any type of diplomatic immunity involved when they had released him without seemingly applying to question/holding him for longer while the search continued…I really do hope this has a resolve for the family…no matter how awful, not knowing is an horrendous thing…

…there are shades of a few cases I’m thinking of in this…I was thinking of Steven Avery and how it was known where Theresa’s body was burned …the Garda seem to know where on the farmland that Michael was killed…but will it lead to charges and conviction…I was also thinking about a local case that we had a few years ago…not in any similarities of the stories as such but more, the absence of a body ….this was the case that I’m thinking about as well atm …

That's an odd one isn't it? Says he was sleeping in a doorway before he went in by the bins, could he have been with his phone inside a rubbish truck? Maybe he decided to get in one of the bins and sleep and ended up in the truck? Howe big was the land fill, big enough that he could have ended up there and just not been found?

ETA oh yeah, should have read to the end, shame they never found his body
