Retired Detective Urges Gardaí To Revisit Larry Murphy's Former Home Amidst Disturbing Cadaver Dog Discoveries

Larry Murphy, a convicted rapist, was the prime suspect for the murder of Deirdre Jacob, who vanished from Newbridge in 1998.

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

Speaking on Kildare today, Retired Detective Inspector and veteran Investigator Pat Marry has urged Gardai to revisit a site near convicted rapist Larry Murphy's former home in Baltinglass.

The call comes after Cadaver dogs detected a ‘scent’ which could be human remains.

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.
