​@@mickeybell8933I think you have the wrong person.

The Garda Síochána (Irish pronunciation: [ənˠ ˈɡaːɾˠd̪ˠə ˈʃiːxaːn̪ˠə]; meaning "the Guardian(s) of the Peace") is the national police and security service of Ireland. It is more commonly referred to as the Gardaí ( pronounced [ˈɡaːɾˠd̪ˠiː]; "Guardians") or "the Guards It's not pronounced as Gardee at all 😂 I have Irish family. When my cousin would phone me he would pronounce it as Garda 😬

@@jokersvenomxo9149 Hi. Maybe the pronounciation varies regionally? Just a thought.

@@Tranquility32 Hi, from cork and have many friends from all over Ireland, I can definitely confirm that regardless of the county or village it’s pronounced the same way (gar-dee), the fada over the i denotes this.

@linkahedron6220 Sending a potentially innocent person to prison would be a "horrible lack of justice". The Irish prosecution did the correct thing by not even charging Bailey.

(This was the comment I was looking for. I’m from Oregon and thought it sounded off 😅 Nothing but love for Jiles and his work, though!)

My thoughts exactly. Pretty easy to rule someone out when you have an entire clump of the murderers hair. 🙄

I was thinking about the same thing

I watched a doco on this and I believe the Garda lost a lot of the evidence. Also unless the hair had roots there would be no DNA.

Right. That and I wonder if they did swabs under her fingernails for DNA. By the sounds of it, she fought like hell. How horrific to be on holiday, just outside your holiday home and some lunatic rando bludgeons you to death. I was fully expecting the results of the med exam to include assault of a sexual nature (thank goodness it didn’t). The fact that it didn’t makes the case more confusing though because random attacks from strangers on women tend include that.

It was her hair. DNA was later found on her boot, it was not Bailey's. Despite the scene being awash with blood and it being a frenzied attack, there is zero physical evidence that he is the murderer, none! If he did it then he is a criminal genius. The police would have you believe that he drunkenly staggered a couple of miles there at 3am on a freezing cold December night, looking for sex. Knocked on her door, not knowing if she was actually alone or not, murdered her without sexually assaulting her, made no sound to wake the neighbours, then drunkenly staggered home without leaving any evidence whatsoever at the scene or at his home. That is what the police want you to believe as they have to have a motive but Bailey did not know her so all they could think of was he went for sex, but there was not even evidence of that. Whoever went there wasn't doing it for sex. The organised crime gang had motive because of Sophie having met the two French guys hiding out locally from them, of course you won't get to hear about that in this video as it only goes on about Bailey and not the other suspects!

This has to be the most beautifully worded comment I've ever read. Inspiring!

Definitely understand your comment. So in the spirit of real engagement...hi Twisty! What brings you to Monsters? Are you a true crime junkie, a Jiles fan, or both? Do you follow his personal vlog as well? I hope you're having a great Monday whenever you are. 😊

Great comment I'm one of the OG Monsters 2 I actually have been sent to him since he had below 100 subscribers and it's really nice to see him grow I love it

Who is Twisty?🤔@@aimeelynne7372

Hi there Absolutely love monsters and the comments are always by such nice people .love and best wishes from the UK😊

Except that Ian Bailey was an innocent man who was framed for this crime

No evidence against Ian, and the times I've encountered him he doesn't seem to be a "monster."

⁠@@melvynobrien6193neither did ted bundy honestly lol

​@StarkJerkNix I got lost somewhere at the end but wasn't he actually found guilty? And yes, I agree he does sound like a lunatic monster. IMO

@@traci222his trial was in France and found guilty but wasn’t able to get extradition, he did not get a trial in Ireland so he remains free, so very sad I can’t imagine Sophie’s son having to face him!

@@traci222 yes I didn’t get that far, he didn’t get sent to though, which makes no sense. If you’re convicted of murder in another country you definitely should be sent to said country to serve your sentence. Sorry I didn’t see that part of the video before commenting, but I edited it out of my comment when I did! You were too quick haha.

Good morning 🌞 THIS is Monsters!

Good afternoon 🎉

It's friggin 7am here in LA chicka

It's 3pm in UK 🙈

It is 925am in Texas! Crazy how we are from everywhere!

RIP Ian Bailey an innocent man framed for a crime he did not commit

Adorable dog

" It’s pathetic that nothing could be done to punish him." Why is it pathetic that a person has not been punished for a crime in Ireland when it has not been proven to be that person? You do believe in innocent until proven guilty? I assume that you would want to be presumed innocent if you were accused of murder? The Irish prosecutors refused to charge him TWICE, maybe you should listen to what the prosecution themselves said about the police investigation?

@@random6809 Third time lucky Ian

@@cocoshannon1 You need to mature. Just because people have a different opinion to you, you say that?

What's pathetic is the lazy way in which this case was investigated. Indeed this article is very lazy also. Ian has to be guilty as his a monster, despite no evidence been found to link him to the case. His clearly a narcissus, a wife beater and needs to be the centre of attention, but that does not make him a murderer. Consider this, who was in the car when Sophie got petrol on her way from airport? She may have flown from France on her own, but she was seen with someone in the car at the petrol station. The lady who claims to have seen brady out late at night, later confessed to having lied under instruction from the gardai.What was she doing near Sophie house that night? How did her husband know the condition of her face? He later claimed there was no communication with police. 12 months after Sophie death his girlfriend gives birth to a child. When gardai ask to question people in France, they are not allowed.

​@@cocoshannon1​ Since Bailey is now dead, how do you explain that they are still commenting? Oh dear, you are looking very silly now aren't you, Ann Farrell.

The DNA didn't match. Bailey was convicted in absentia in France of her murder, with NO EVIDENCE. That's Napoleonic Law for you.

the hair was her own, no Dna under her fingernails. Bailey is 6ft 4 Sophie was 5 ft 2 ,she fought for her life but her size meant she could do little damage to Ian Bailey

There was DNA later found on her boot, it was not Bailey's. There is literally NOTHING linking him to the crime scene.

@@random6809 the blood on her boot was found to be y chromosome, male. The results of the testing did not eliminate you Bailey Any chance of you taking a LDT ?

@@cocoshannon1 If it was Bailey then he'd be in prison. Not rocket science is it!

And people should be heartbroken foe an innocent man who was framed for a crime he did not commit.

Thanks so much!

There was no dna evidence.Dna testing was in its infancy in this country at the time.Sophies body lay covered by tarpaulin for 24 hours in freezing,windy conditions, a lot of potential dna evidence was destroyed

@@cocoshannon1 DNA testing was not in its infancy, samples were given to UK labs. Freezing windy conditions does not affect DNA, cold preserves it.

@theamazingcowlet There is literally NOTHING linking Bailey to the scene. The only DNA found was on her boot and it was not his. He voluntarily gave police blood and hair samples at the time to clear his name, not the actions of a guilty person.

@@random6809 Whaaaat?! This is insane! Well, gloating about the crime is someone a stupid person would do,not necessary guilty

@@theamazingcowlet The prosecution wrote a report in 2001. In it they stated their belief that the so-called "confessions" were sarcasm when people were making the accusations to him. Not the wisest thing to do, but understandable. Imagine a bunch of people accusing you of being a murderer, it is possible that you would respond sarcastically "yea, yeah of course I did it" sort of thing if you see what I mean? The prosecution report savages the police investigation. When even the prosecution say the evidence is not there, people should be listening to them!

Mad love back!

You're correct; not only did he not visit Ireland when she was murdered, he NEVER came to any of the commemoration ceremonies. There was some problem between them, and I've always thought he was behind her murder. Ian Bailey is just a patsy.

@melvynobrien6193 Didn’t you complain how gossip is not evidence against Ian? So is gossip about not showing up to events evidence?

@@melvynobrien6193 ya him not even bothering to go to a commeration is odd. Most people never heard how the police were caught trying to get statements from locals including buying phones and giving hashish to them etc. Ian Bailey is an unlikable man clearly not a fan but the fact im Irish and never heard about husband or any other suspects is odd. Baileys ex partner would have spoken by now, no rape no dna just assumed he left a warm house like you said to drunkely stagger a couple kilometres to viciously beat a stranger to death doesn't ring true

​@@melvynobrien6193a hit man hitching lifts around Schull and arriving on foot to commit a murder with no weapon. Instead he chases his victim around the garden and commits the crime with a slate and a concrete block. Get real

@@cocoshannon1 Well the cold case investigators have considered it possible that an organised criminal gang were looking at Sophie's for two French men that she had met with who were hiding out locally. But hey, you ignore the latest police findings.

am no wrong

Easiee said than done. Putting sanctions on the UK would cause devastating repercussions for France. And for what? One person. Not worth it.

Lifelong sanctions for one person? Sanctions that affect EVERYONE?

​@@SCOOBYGDIt's Ireland, not the U.K. Ireland isn't in the United Kingdom.

@@rosec6680 Always confuse Northern Ireland with Ireland. Thanks for the correction. Overall, i doubt France want to lose out on a major trading partner in Ireland for one person.

He was convicted in France entirely on hearsay and it would not have stood up in an Irish court of law. You cannot convict someone without evidence and it wasn’t there. Whether you think he’s guilty or innocent, he has a right to a fair trial under the law. That applies to everyone.

Except he didn't research how to prounce gardai!!!!! It's prounced gar-dee NOT gard -eye smh

I had to go out of town to help my mom after she had shoulder surgery and I was behind. Thanks for being patient!

@thisisMONSTERS oh I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope your mom has a speedy recovery! ❤️

We had Sinister, but this is accepted anytime❣️ I hope your mom Jiles has a speedy recovery❣️

​@@thisisMONSTERSthank you for all the time and effort you put into these uploads. From New Zealand 🇳🇿

The Netflix one was heavily biased to give the impression of Bailey's guilt and left out petty much anything that went against that narrative. It had the support of the local police and the family. Not surprising since one of the producers is none other than Sophie's cousin. Netflix documentaries are there to entertain, not provide facts and evidence. Jim Sheridan's "Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie" gives an alternative perspective.

No such thing as Gardia in Ireland. We pronounce the Gardaí as gar-dee.

@@katharina... well now I'm even more confused.. because the cop images which come out of Ireland, show "GARDA" printed across the backs of uniforms and cars. (is Gardaí plural?)

@@SKY031 That's it, Garda is the singular form indicating a single officer or the police force, and Gardaí is the plural form 👍

Ian was an innocent man framed by the Gardai

I agree but From Dublin its GAAR-DAA followed by sketch

You will not get much from Netflix in support of Bailey's innocence. It is because one of the producers is none other than Sophie's cousin.

It was her holiday home and not her permanent residence

@teresathayn5170 If scratches were from her nails or from brambles and thorns, the evidence would have been at the scene. Nothing found linking him to it, not one thing!

A combination of whiskey, pot and ego. You'd think that being thought of as a murderer by a large percentage of the local population would drive an innocent person to move away. Not Bailey. He enjoyed the notoriety and tried making money from it.

Monsters

⁠@@TheSimidogAbsolutely deplorable, completely inaccurate and slanderous comment. Ian was an innocent man who was framed for this crime and if you are bothered in seeing the truth then read Gemma O’Doherty’s detailed account of what actually did happen and also that of a senior forensics investigator, Bridget Cappuis formerly of the Met Police who examined all the data and material, concluding that Ian was not guilty ot that crime. The DPP’s Report was excoriating in its criticism of the investigation into Ian Bailey, clearing him completely. Please think twice before adding to the drivel that was heaped upon a persecuted and condemned innocent man for decades.

@@freedomunltd you're one of his fans then. Strange that you know so much. Have you told his son your theory?

Except Ian did not commit this crime, he was innocent. He was framed.

If he isn't guilty then why does he keep "joking about being guilty" that doesn't bode well, the video makes him look guilty as fck but if she had hair in her hands and skin under her nails why hasn't the DNA been matched to the suspect? That makes the case look more like a set-up, maybe the local police are protecting someone close to them? The locals should protest until the case is proven, no matter who the murderer is, he/she is still running loose in that area and could find another innocent life to take. Be safe my Irish friend.

Sophie's husband NEVER came to Cork, not when she was murdered, not to any of the numerous commemoration events over the years. It appears they had some problems. He could have hired someone to kill her and make it look like a local. If you want proper police procedure, don't look for it in isolated parts of this country; this isn't NYC. At the 18:00 mark that's Connolly's of Leap (rhymes with STEP), where I was the leader of the house band for years. Ian Bailey didn't kill her; I've encountered Ian on several occasions, including when Jules had an exhibition of paintings at the West Cork Arts Centre. No one I know believes he's guilty; you can't accept gossip as fact: at one time Marie claimed to have seen him at the cottage, but that statement was later retracted. She was looking for attention. They have DNA. Clearly Bailey's doesn't match or he'd be arrested by now. The clump of hair in Sophie's hand didn't match Bailey's. He was convicted in absentia in France, of her murder; doesn't say much for the French judicial system. NO EVIDENCE. Bailey never bragged about the murder; more gossip. OCCAM'S RAZOR: someone who knew her murdered Sophie; it's not a SODDI. No local was involved in this murder. There should have been more focus on Daniel, when he was alive. Meanwhile, Ian Bailey is due for some serious heart surgery, but don't expect a confession. And I've had lots of scratches on my arms from being out in the hills, even scratches through my jeans on my legs. NOT EVIDENCE. Reminds me of all the bullshit surrounding the Madeleine McCann death. Relatives responsible in that one, too. HEY, CALLING SOMEONE A MONSTER WHEN THERE'S NO FUCKING EVIDENCE IS PRETTY LOW. I'VE SEEN HOW YOU'VE TWISTED THIS STORY TO MAKE IAN BAILEY, WHOSE HAIR DOESN'T MATCH THAT FOUND IN SOPHIE'S HAND, WHOSE DNA DOESN'T MATCH, WHO WAS NEVER PLACED CLOSE TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME, LOOK GUILTY, BASED ON GOSSIP. And if you want gossip, come to West Cork.

@@heavymetalredneck7973The hair doesn't match Bailey, the DNA doesn't match Bailey. There's no evidence against him but a load of gossip. All sorts of stories have circulated over the years, but they've all been nonsense.

@@brianmcginley2743Convicted in absentia in a French court, where you're guilty until proved innocent. The clump of hair in Sophie's hand didn't match Bailey, the DNA under her nails didn't match Bailey. Her husband didn't fly to Cork when he heard of her murder; he never even came to the commemorations that have been held. Look in his direction. Just be careful you don't end up in court in France.

Ian Bailey is in hospital awaiting a triple-bypass operation; I believe that this case is killing him. The highest court in Ireland examined the evidence for extradition and concluded THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE. All the gossip-mongers and attention-seekers threw in against Bailey; many stories were circulated, all were discredited, including Marie's lies. The case against the papers was solid, but they brought in some of these unreliable witnesses to damage his reputation, and amazingly he lost. Calling Bailey a "monster" is unwise, seeing that he's effectively cleared of the crime by our top court. No murder charge. The hair in Sophie's hand is not his, the DNA information obtained is not his, and there was no evidence that he was anywhere near the scene of the crime. Daniel Toscan du Plantier had more reason to want Sophie dead than some complete stranger, a SODDI case. A lot of what Bailey said was under the influence of drink, with sarcasm taken for fact. I don't know one person here in West Cork who believes Bailey is guilty; if people thought him guilty, he would have likely been burned out of here years ago. The media wanted a scapegoat; they chose Ian Bailey, called a MONSTER despite the lack of evidence,.

Yes!!! Great case to bring up!!! Monster’ is an understatement….. what an absolute ghoul. He makes Gein look like a damn amateur….. all that stuff he did…. Who does that??? I hope he covers it!!!

Agreed but I doubt he has a conscience.

@@14rnr Don't know why, but your comment came up in a reply to a different video I commented on! I know what you meant x

Ian was as just as much guilty as you are, of this awful crime. He was framed then hounded and persecuted for decades by a corrupt Gardai. Ian RIP

@@14rnrHe had more intelligence and conscience than is indicated by your comment. Ian was framed for a crime he did not commut.

Appalling comment. Ian was an innnocent man who was framed and persecuted for the rest of his life.

I see what you did there. 🙂

I see what you did too

​@@zed351i see what you did too

Hi! Thanks for watching!

A journalist that covered the story and then was accused of being the murderer. Not hard to figure out is it!

The hair in her hand was hers.

Ireland refused to extradite him to France and when he was found guilty there it didn't matter. Also Bailey did not attend the trial. The murder happened in Ireland and there was not enough evidence to try him here. There are many rumours about the killing, from ex gardai to neighbours etc... Bailey was a bit of a dick and loved the attention but I don't think he is guilty. But alot would say otherwise. As For the DNA 3 tests were done up to 2008 and were inconclusive as they were not complete profiles including the hair as it was damaged when it was being extracted from Sophie's hand as it was in dried blood and broke. Bailey did give his DNA and it couldn't be matched as I said before the profile was imcomplete. No tests have been done since as there is not enough profile to do so. I hope this helps. It's a very frustrating case.

​@@irishcoffeetruecrime Thank you so much for that explanation. I get it now. I guess I didn't hear that there were issues with the DNA.. and now I understand what happened.. but why wouldn't Ireland want to extradite him to France if they found him guilty? I'm sure I just don't understand the laws in Ireland. But I appreciate you.. you helped me out a lot. BTW I'm half Irish on my father's side. 😊

@traci222 Ahhhh nice one, I hope you'll get to visit someday. It was France that was trying to get him extradited and not Germany. France tried 3 times but failed as Ireland had no reciprocity at the time with France. But I think this has changed since. Please ignore the comments underneath as he has flooded the video that I have done on Sophie from the time I put up mine and now he is going to do the same with Monsters. Don't engage with him. Ohhhh the drama of YT 🤣😉 💚💚💚

@@irishcoffeetruecrime Oh my gosh lol yeah I realized I said Germany lol.. I fixed it Thank you. I appreciate the chat and help with the info. 😊
