I only came across this thread last evening and started reading every post from the start. Watching the interviews with the husband, the first thing that stood out to me was the attention to HIS details…. “I got up, had a cup of tea, slice of toast” if someone in my household went missing, I wouldn’t give two hoots about what I had for breakfast, it’s THEIR routine that matters… did they have their usual tea and toast? Was their behaviour different?

Then as soon as I saw this interview at the 6 month mark, September 2017

Who is Tina Satchwell? Latest on disappearance of Cork woman missing a year today

CORK woman Tina Satchwell has been missing for almost one year after vanishing on March 20, 2017. The 46-year-old has not been seen in exactly a year – despite extensive searches and frequent…

“We had the house searched”
I instantly thought ‘She’s in the house’. There is no way, in his situation, having been living alone for 6 months I would say ‘We had the house searched’ because I would feel alone in that house, even more so knowing that someone else SHOULD be there and are missing. I would say they searched my house or I had the house searched, definitely not ‘we’. Having reached the end of the thread now, the whole way through since watching him say that, I really was expecting this.

My initial thoughts from the prosecution opening:

1. It sounds like he planned it

2. She had a belt around her neck (?????), conveniently so he could "defend himself" by holding her up - why would she not just get right up and away then? None of that makes sense to me. I also don't think she could have knocked him to the ground.

3. He tried to give away the freezer her stashed her body in, the sick animal. I wonder if it did get given away, hopefully we find out later.

My heart broke when tina was first reported missing as instinct was rs murdered her , The way he spoke about her . He was saying look at all I've done for her . It came across as a red flag for me as it implied Tina owed him everything. That she belonged to him Not the grieving husband he
wanted to portray in the media . I think the majority of irish people knew he was guilty . In one way I think it's atrocious that he is narcissistic enough to have Tina's family listen to really upsetting details but on the other hand at least it allows the media to fill in the gaps and answer questions such as why Tina would have sent him to aldi in dungarvan and not locally .it has now transpired that he made that up . I hope the judge throws the book at him . I think every word out of his mouth is a lie and he probably gave Tina an awful life . If dogs could talk I would imagine the story her two fur babies could tell . She probably spent many a day confiding her woes to them .

I reckon she was leaving him and that's why the people at the carboot market had said Tina spoke to them on the Sunday saying she would never hurt Richard.

He sounds like a very controlling person.
Thought he was clever by trying to be one step ahead when dealing with the gardai and controlling the narrative

He gave me John Tanner vibes (early 90s murder in England, a case I covered as a journalist). I felt immediately he'd killed her. I agree, I think she told him she was leaving. Not sure if it was yourself, but someone upthread mentioned he must have moved them to Youghal to distance her from family support, another classic control move.

He's also extremely dim witted to invent the 26k euros in the loft - first that's potentially social welfare fraud, if true, and second obviously quite easy for a forensic accountant to dismiss. Not to mention saying he was in Dungarvan when he was at the post office getting his dole - everyone knows the post office has CCTV!

I can't stand that photo of him with the crocodile tears . It boils my blood .

I feel the police who held up the sign saying " come home Tina " were taunting RS saying we know what you did we just have to prove it .

It's terrible really on families when LE know they have a perp but due to certain matters their hand are tied and the perp is free to go about their daily lives . Can't wait till the murderer or murderers of little Kyran durnin get their comeuppance too . Even if it does take 7 years .
