isnt this the wierdest thing. I was a year ahead of him in school. scared us all. Lad I was in school with now a detective, very firm ideas on what could(did) have happened, but as the guards have never been able to prove anything cant let any info out. Lot of cases have information that never come into public arena. Lack of evidence and so forth.
On last weeks developments I cant understand how the woman would remember such a thing first of all, then place it back to that time without having been aware of the occurences at the time. 2+2 and all that.
I've no idea, though, why they decided to search the same place again all these years later.
Clearly remember when it happened. The strangest thing about it was the school bag which by all accounts was only placed in the laneway a day or two after he disappeared. Would have to wonder if it was someone's conscience getting the better of them. Why not just dispose of it.
Often wondered afterwards had it been found by kids who got scared with the media coverage and just left it back - or was it a false trail with the religion books missing?
There was a lot of speculation about that at the time but, if it was kids, they would all now be well into their thirties. Surely some of them would have the sense to realise the implications of what they did and would have come forward by now?
Yes - thats true. Im back to the false trail theory then.
Ive always believed he MUST have been taken by car. Even today the Ballyroan Road is not that busy, there could be long minutes between vehicles passing on it. I think that is the only explanation for how he vanished into thin air. Just unlucky that no one was looking out their window at the time.
Although that leads me to think he must have known the person in the car.
Although Ballyroan Road is quiet at certain times of the day, he disappeared at lunch time and it is always very busy then, with young kids being collected from school by their parents and older kids heading back to secondary school after lunch. I was actually thinking about it one day when I was driving past his house at about 1.30 and wondered how on earth a child could be dragged into a car at that time of the day without anyone noticing. If he got into a car, it must have been willingly, I would think.
