Detective Inspector Des McTiernan discussed ongoing efforts in a cold-case review during a new garda podcast, highlighting a comprehensive approach backed by international cooperation, mainly with the FBI. He noted advancements in forensic and phone analysis as crucial for developing new leads, particularly in the murder case of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. The investigation is still thriving, aided by supportive witnesses and a dedicated team, reaffirming the commitment to uncover the truth as they approach the case's three-year milestone since the review began.
"From a forensic perspective, we're trying to develop it more, because there are now advancements out there on the worldwide scale," he said on the podcast available on the garda website.
"We don't just confine ourselves to Ireland and our ability and capacity here. We have gone abroad, and we've done that before. We have close links to the FBI, and that's working quite well."
"The investigation into that is still very much alive and well, and that's thanks to Eamon Brady, detective inspector in west Cork, who is continuing the ongoing investigation, running parallel to our [cold case] review."
"Our witnesses are extremely helpful and very supportive in the course of the investigation, because people want to help. They want to get to the bottom of what actually happened to Sophie."
