"I can't see why they are not searching it."

Larry Murphy, a convicted rapist, was the prime suspect for the murder of Deirdre Jacob, who vanished from Newbridge in 1998.
Cadaver dogs were brought in by a farmer last July, more than 25 years after he first noticed disturbed ground in a secluded and rarely visited wooded area in a remote site.
The dogs are said to have indicated the presence of human remains on three separate visits in July, including on one occasion when gardaí were present.
