Sarah McKenna BarryAfter issuing a new appeal regarding the Sophie Toscon du Plantier case, the Gardaí have said that they have received"new information" that has proven helpful.Ms Toscan du Plantier was found dead at a laneway near her holiday home in Schull, Co. Cork on 23 December, 1996. She had been beaten to death.Prior to Christmas, the Gardaí urged those who may have seen Sophie when she arrived into Ireland, and on her journey to Cork to get in touch.
Ms Toscan du Plantier flew into Dublin Airport on 20 December 1996 and she got a connecting flight to Cork Airport, landing at 2:30 pm. She then hired a Ford Fiesta and drove to the Mizen Peninsula. At a press conference, Superintendent Joe Moore of Bantry Garda Station said: "I believe that there are still persons who have information on Sophie’s murder and who haven’t yet spoken to Gardaí – or may have spoken to Gardaí but were not in a position to tell everything that they know – I am appealing to those persons, 26 years later, to please come forward and speak to the investigation team.
