ETA :Started round the 14 minute mark ...once again he has no words from Tina when asked about the evening before , just what they would "usually " of done. Everything's so vague . This is so obvious is my opinion .
Thanks for link and for timing it too, saves lots of time.
Though this interview raised a small red flag for me- the reference to trophy wife and his willingness to buy her even 'sexy' clothes... because it made 'him' look good is inference.
Remember he is the only one being questioned and he is asked about himself, his responses, his memories. he is also the ONLY person being questioned, although she knew and was known by thousands of people.
everybody thinks he is guilty and nobody is asking questions about somebody else's possible involvement in her disappearance.
- She was gregarious, outspoken, volatile generous and friendly, acc to his testimony..
How likely is it that she told somebody else about the cash stash, half of which she owned, in any case..? I think it's not only possible, but likely in these recession times.. she knew she had access to that cash at any time.
Yet, she had large catalogue clothes bills which she apparently did not pay.. It is unclear whether there was a threat of legal action or debt collection in relation to these debts.
It is also unclear whether he was fully aware of the extent of her debt- she was , by all reports, running the home which would include bill paying and mail receipt, I would imagine.
-Going back to the weekend in question- a bank holiday weekend, strangers in town as Youghal is a resort, not as big as it used to be in years gone by but still a 'venue' for a celebratory weekend. It is possible she arranged to meet one of these irregular visitors and sent Richard on errands in order to meet the person. We do not have her social media records or access to her phone records and there is no confirmation or suggestion anywhere that such an arranged meeting ever took place.
But, it's a possibility.
-It is possible that a relative called unexpectedly or by arrangement, knew about the money and took it and then persuaded her to leave the house on the pretext of a walk in the woods or to show her something, or, or or....
It is possible a robbery took place and she was killed while trying to resist.
-I think it unlikely that she is still alive, but it's possible.
-Whereas I agree that there are a number of anomalies in his story, the missing suitcases is a biggie..
-The house keys in the floor, seem strange, but could possibly be the act of a lover whisking her away..her phone was not on the floor, though..
I think we do need to look carefully at the Garda anomalies.
-The delay in searching his car- the total absence of forensic examination of her car.
-The delay in conducting the house search when an early search would elicit info regarding the quantities of dog or parrot feed in the house and the necessity of going for more on the Monday- again, could indicate she wanted him out of the house for some reason for a period of a few hours, or that he was lying.
I believe these anomalies as well as current Garda scandals in Ireland currently taking place may have spurned this search.
First thing they should have done was to search that house, at least.
Now I have found discussions on Tina on several Irish discussion forums, boards, politics, reddit, pRC.. and the discussion is the same- most blame him, a minority agree he is not the brightest , possibly intellectually challenged and incapable of maintaining a lie for this length of time..
I do not know what happened to Tina.. I have no idea but there are too many possibilities outside of her husband as perpetrator and they are not being sufficiently explored..
