On December 23 rd , the sleepy West Cork town of Schull suddenly became synonymous with a grisly crime. An in-depth police investigation at the time failed to produce sufficient evidence to charge Bailey with the murder, though for many in the community he was labelled indelibly as a dangerous criminal. I suppose the community needed someone to blame, we were shocked that this could happen in our small town, and we needed an answer for who did it so we could feel safe again. Time went on, however, and no further violent crimes occurred. The community began to settle back into a semblance of normality, and Bailey reintegrated to an extent. His partner, Jules, is an artist, and you would often see the pair of them around the place. People leave them alone. There are whispers amongst the locals of other theories about who might have killed Sophie.
