The Garda Cold Case Review into Sophie's death is ongoing, alongside the main murder investigation
Gardai hunting the killer of Sophie Toscan du Plantier say the investigation is very much "alive" despite the death of the main suspect Ian Bailey earlier this year.
In a statement Gardai said: "The Garda investigation into the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier in 1996 remains active and ongoing. "Gardai continue to appeal to anyone with information to contact the investigation team at Bantry Garda Station or the Garda Confidential Line 1800-666111." The man is said to live in Paris and was known by Sophie's late ex-husband Daniel who was having an affair at the time. Gardai have yet to say whether this individual is a suspect or not in the murder.Sophie's family are adamant that English man Ian Bailey is the killer following his conviction for murder in absentia by a court in Paris in 2019. Bailey never served a day in prison even though he received a 25 year sentence.
In the weeks before his death Ian Bailey, in a yet to be screened interview proclaimed his innocence: "When I am dead and gone tell them I did not kill Sophie."
