Summary

Laura continues the discussion with actor, director, producer, author and true crime aficionada Alison Sweeney about Sophie Toscan Du Plantier’s brutal murder. Sophie’s body was found at the bottom of the driveway to her holiday home in Schull, West Cork, Ireland by her neighbour Shirley Foster on December 23 1996. Laura continues to answer Alison’s questions about Sophie’s murder, a case that remains unsolved to this day. We discuss Ian Bailey’s history of violence towards Jules, control related issues, his first wife Sarah, the so-called alibi, the timeline, the trial in France and so much more. This case is troubling. Can you help? Sophie and her family deserve justice. #HerNameWasSophieToscanDuPlantier #WestCork #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #Podcast #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst #CriminalBehaviouralAnalysis #Advocacy #Misogyny #Femicide #WomenMatter Clips Used https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/5-a-good-suspect/id1556472772?i=1000514389002 https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/13-an-intimate-conviction/id1556472772?i=1000514389005 Thank you to my sponsors:  Athena Club Show your skin you care with the Athena Club Razor Kit!
