A convincing and accomplished liar, Brady weaved a story that used partial truths and realistic scenarios to wriggle free from the garda’s grip. He was calm and self-assured, according to Sergeant Moroney. Brady had money problems at the time with a case before the circuit court that was going to require him to pay thousands of euro in compensation to avoid jail.Rather than solving their money woes, Brady and his alleged accomplices would flee within weeks to America and Australia to escape the clutches of gardaí.But Brady, the shooter, would assemble his own petard in his new home in New York where he couldn’t help himself boasting about his crime.
Suspect B Immediately after the shooting, Dundalk-based Detective Inspector Pat Marry , who was in charge of the investigation, asked his detectives to draw up a list of locals who might be involved in such a robbery.This man was believed to have been involved in an almost identical robbery on Lordship Credit Union two years earlier which had netted €22,500.
The raid happened shortly after 9.25pm so officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland were called on to take statements from King and her family who lived across the border in south Armagh. Jessica would do the same a few days later. With so many lies surrounding Brady’s movements on the night of the robbery, investigators were compelled to keep digging.
The thieves removed the barrel of the lock from the front door of the house, stole the keys and drove off. Within minutes Suspect A was seen arriving at a nearby service station in his distinctive BMW with its alloy wheels and vinyl wrap around its roof.There was at least one other person in the car and the prosecution argued that phone records proved that Brady was with Suspect A on that night.
In the box Brady said he couldn’t remember where he stayed on the night the car was stolen but it was apparent from mobile phone evidence and photos found on Jessica King’s phone that Brady did not leave Suspect A’s side throughout that period.
