The Missing Women Of Ireland
THE terrified rape victim of beast of the mountains' Larry Murphy has been told by the Government: "We can't keep him behind bars."Larry Murphy has been circumstantially linked to the case of the 18-year-old missing Newbridge student teacher Deirdre Jacob who disappeared in July 1998.
He lived in Castledermot, Co Kildare in November 1998 when 21-year old Jo Jo Dullard disappeared. The detectives attached to Operation Trace, set up to establish if a serial killer was at work in the Dublin Wicklow mountains, also investigated whether
Murphy had been working as a sub contractor in Johnny Foxes pub in Glencullen, Co Wicklow when American student Annie McCarrick went missing in 1993.
Another unreported assault involved a close relative of his wife's: "Murphy offered to give her a lift home and then made a pass at her instead," our source said. "When she told him she wasn't interested he put his hands around her neck and tried to strangle her in the passenger seat of his car. She managed to escape but it didn't go any further because he was her brother-in- law."
CARPENTER Larry Murphy (43) was a married father-of-two when he set out to rape and murder a businesswoman in February 2000. Born in Baltinglass, Co Wicklow, he had never come to the attention of gardai before. He had a keen interest in hunting and used his knowledge of remote areas when carrying out the savage attack. Murphy stalked his prey for a month before kidnapping her in Carlow. He broke her nose and gagged her before bundling her into the boot of his Fiat Punto. He drove 13km to Beaconstown, where he had hunting rights, undressed her and raped her. Afterwards, he told her he was married and the names of his two young children and that he would bring her home but instead, he put his victim back in the boot and drove up the Wicklow Mountains where he raped her three more times. When she tried to escape, Murphy pulled a plastic bag over her head. He fled when he was disturbed by two fox hunters, and was quickly traced by gardai. When questioned later Murphy told Gardai that he had only raped his victim once - and claimed the second time they made love was at her request. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2000. Murphy was later questioned about the disappearance of several other women in Leinster, but denied responsibility. THE arrival of suspected serial killer in Spain has sparked a wave of panic throughout the country. Women are being warned that "the face of evil" has moved there and plans to set up home in the south. According to reports, serial rapist Murphy fled Ireland in 2010 to relocate to the Mediterranean in an attempt to escape the media glare. Now Spanish police officers are planning to keep the violent rapist under surveillance. It is understood that gardai have provided the Spanish police with photos and background information about the suspected serial killer. The arrival of Ireland's most high-profile sex offender in the Costa del Sol has sparked anxiety and panic among locals.
