Foster thinks that Bailey went there to have sex and was rejected. He thinks that they had recently become acquainted and that Sophie possibly gave Bailey a ride from the airport. (The passenger seat on her rental car was all the way back as if to accommodate someone very tall. Bailey is 6'4" or thereabouts.) Sophie may have been seen at a gas station with a male passenger who, the author says, may have been Bailey.
According to others, Sophie told people in France that she was planning to meet with a weird poet, which is an apt description of Bailey. Foster says he, Foster, was given access to Sophie's diary by her family and in it he found references to the Indian goddess Kali. Foster feels that it could not be a coincidence that in January 1997 Bailey talked about Kali to a French reporter.
Bailey denies knowing Sophie so it would be significant if it could be proved that he did.
As I understand it, there is still some DNA from Sophie's murder, some drops that might have been left by someone standing over her, someone bleeding from cuts on the arms and forehead, drops waiting for technology to improve.
If it hasn't been done, I think it would be worthwhile to see if there was a more sinister reason for Bailey's leaving England than just abandoning the "rat-race."
Foster's book has some helpful maps and it's also very well-written.
Thank you.
