Gardai give update on Michael Gaine search as officers double-back on ground covered

"Gardai have no plans to wind down the search for Michael Gaine on his land - over a month on from his baffling disappearance.

Gardai have confirmed to this paper that searches across Michael’s vast 1,000 acre farm in Kenmare, Co Kerry, will continue for the rest of this week.

It means officers have now had a presence on the land since Friday March 21 - the day Michael (56) was reported missing from the farm, located just outside Kenmare town and roughly 3km from the home he shares with his wife."

I’m pleased, if a little surprised, to see the Gardai aren’t scaling back the search a month in. Is this normal for Ireland..? i.e. a smaller country- I’m from USA- do resources just stretch farther with less missing people to cover? Or does the full-scale search still going on indicate they have some kind of lead that has them convinced they will be able to find Mr. Gaine?

Me too , what has come to light recently or did garda already have suspicion and a suspect from the get go . Which would explain why it was such a high profile search from the beginning with everything thrown at finding him

<modsnip - insinuations/accusations against a person not named POI by LE> His wife and if he has children must be overwhelmed with grief.

I don't know, how his wife looked before the incident .... She looked down a lot, I noticed. That bothered me somehow. MOO

I think if the" witness of interest " quote from the media is anything to go by I would imagine its most likely the person Mike helped imo .

I personally think his wife looks very genuinely upset and lost and I feel its wrong to speculate her involvement. I will concede prehaps I'm being biased because she is a woman . But to me she did not come across as shifty abet extremely anxious and nervous looking . It wasn't narcissistic or selfish wording akin to other killers who have portrayed themselves as innocent. Her body language was of a distraught person much like a parent who has lost a child . Their emotional state in turmoil moo .

The other lady in the interview was more composed so it was a stark difference in composure and body language. I can see why people may think the movement of the eyes may infer guilt of some kind but the wife may have a more nervous disposition in general or a more introvert personality.

I could be wrong and will watch as things progress

I'm sure the family is briefed before an article like this is released as the horrors thinking of this happening to your loved one is the stuff of nightmares . Is it any wonder his wife was literally all over the place in the interview.

You would not wish this on a worst enemy. I wonder is it speculation only or have garda got forensic evidence of this and are hoping that a witness may come forward

Has it been said where the tenant is living now? He surely still can't be living on the farm property
