colored SUV while she was being driven by in a car with her son to surprise this happened just a few
minutes after Justin got off the bus the girl had dark hair and was Asian when the driver noticed
that the car was stopped in the middle of the road without any lights or blinkers on she pulled to
pass it and overtook it while doing so
she heard screaming and then shouting and noticed a girl
staring at her from the trunk of the car after the motorist stopped She immediately called the
police a few minutes later a male witness who was also traveling close by noticed what he thought to
be a distr woman being taken away as a passenger in an SUV after returning home and talking to his
wife about it he reported what he had witnessed to the Garda since he thought it was weird gardai now
thinks that what the witnesses observed w
as a man assaulting and driving CH in away to her death
but when the initial two reports were received on Saturday night the Garda only had a partial
registration 171d for a 4x4 or Nissan SUV to go on chest's parents called the Garda and Report
Ed their daughter missing at 11:30 p.m. which is when the eyewitness reports became more clear
the eyewitness description such as they were match chestin and link to the same area where chestin
would have been although gardai had spent Saturday night
inspecting the roadside stretch that the
initial witness had identified as the abduction area they had discovered nothing officers headed
down the road where the initial witness claimed to have seen a man putting a female in his car
along with Justin's broke broken phone they found a bag of bread the police Thought Justin
was seriously injured to locate her patrol cars and helicopters were sent out as Darkness fell on
Saturday Justin was nowhere to be seen But at 3: in the morning the next
day the police got
a break they recognized the man behind the wheel of the Nissan Hennessy Mark after the
identification of the SUV or 4x4 as a Nissan kashai with registration number 171 C 20419 in
CCTV footage acquired by the Garda the case was placed in height notice gardai went to the

with the police she reported to the police that Saturday afternoon she had seen Mark he arrived
at work at 7:30 in the morning that afternoon he came home shortly after 3:00 p.m. and sat out
again at 5:00 p.m. Gardine knew they had their man with this information instead they knew who
he was but were still in the dark about where he was
also they were in the dark about where he had
taken Justin and what exactly he had done with her when the police went to the pub they were able to
confirm that Mark stopped by on Saturday even if at first he only stayed for about 10 minutes to
watch football his car was parked in the parking lot when he was captured on camera leaving the
pub at 5:41 p.m. 2 minutes later he was gone in his car looking like he was on the phone he was
following Justin's 185 bus for 30 minutes after that this
was confirmed by the bus's CCTV footage
he went back to to the pub that evening around 11:00 p.m. after chatting with a few people who
knew his family at the Pub's store he walked out what did Mark do between 5:41 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
more importantly where was Justin several public appeals were made initially through media releases
and then on Sunday at a press conference held at the break artist station it was given along with
a description of Justin and the kashai that the guardy were sea
rching 4 if anyone saw the car
they were asked to report it to the Garda but they were urged not to go near the driver it took
many hours for armed gardy to respond to a public tip and visit Cherrywood industrial estate to
investigate a reported cting the evidence was solid when the police arrived Mark was sitting
in his car's driver's seat blood was all over him it was his blood he had used a Stanley knife
to cut himself he was shot by a police bullet that hit his shoulder during an encoun
ter for a while
on Sunday night it wasn't clear if Hennessy was alive or dead and if Justin was in the kashai
with him but shortly the shocking truth became clear Hennessy was dead and Justin was nowhere
to be found she was still missing however gardai assumed that she had been kidnapped for sexual
purposes and now feared her debt the history of the kashai movements was available through the
electronic control it could be downloaded in the car there was a note with blood on it though
it wa
s blurry the cops were able to make out the terms Sor in Puck's Castle police searched the
area as a result after receiving such information the guard closed off a significant search area
in South County Dublin's wrath Michael there the search was intensified after Justin's purse with
her identity card was discovered next to a pitch and Putt course a team made up of Gardon and
Personnel from civil defense and Defense Forces began searching the area there was also the jaring
use of C dogs in
the guard of helicopter cheston's body was discovered in the early afternoon in the
underbrush at Puck's castle some 50 m off a small Road and then before the news of the tragic event
reached the public the Garda took off to tell her parents that night Justin's body was still there
hidden by thick undergrowth in the country she had traveled hundreds of miles to escape for
a better life as fixa for manual strangling was the cause of death and pathologist Dr Linda
Mulligan concluded that the

of vaginal area brations and bruises evidence of a small amount of cocaine used within
a few hours of death was discovered in a toxicology result the jury found that the death
was unlawful Dr Myra cullinan the coroner called called Justin's death thoroughly shocking and
appreciated appearance Grace during their loss the investigator who was hunting the monster
who kidnapped and killed Justin Valdez believes that the monster
was fascinated with her and had
practiced the kidnapping beforehand in addition to revealing publicly for the first time that he
thinks Mark Hennessy sexually abused the student before killing her and disposing of her lifeless
body and dense course in South County Dublin retired detective super intendent Frank kenahan
also discussed his frantic hunt for Justin it is shocking frightening and horrifying that they
could travel to one of the safest and warmest Nations on Earth and yet fall vict
im to the most
heinous crimes it may never be completely clear how or why it happened both Justin and her alleged
killer 40-year-old Builder and Dad of two Mark Hennessy are gone and the guarded think that only
they could give details about the exact events that took place there was no known connection
between the two that the guard have been able to uncover if it turns out to be true it would
imply that Justin was taken away from the side of a road in County Wicklow and killed on the whim
of the Moment by a predatory killer of course he may have seen her working in the restaurant where
she worked part-time or walking down that road when she got off the bus before but there had
been no contact between them and it appeared to be a completely random abduction and subsequent
murder what then had caused a married father of two young kids to violently take the life of a
deligent young woman who worked hard for parents Mark seemed to have more of a dark side than most
people knew
given the charges made against him it is likely that the Trace Amounts of cocaine and
chest in system were caused by his heavy cocaine use his death and the collapse of his marriage
were causing his life to spin out of control he had even signed up for da abs and had started to
approach women at bars however for some reason on May 19th Mark decided to kidnap Jon as she walked
home innocently with the bread she had just gotten for her mother all of this happened during the
day on a street th
at was frequented by cars the terrible evil that filled their life that day
will always be with Justin's parents Justin was our life and when she was taken away our world
ended we try to smile but in our hearts were still crying the heartbroken parents claimed that
they still make their child a plate of food each night and set up a pillow for her before they go
to sleep Danilo Valdez expressed his shock to the Irish mayor saying quote I still can't believe
that my kid is no longer here to t
alk about our plans for the future he also expressed his hope
that the incident was a horrible dream they as well as Justin's relatives in the Philippines
loved her very much the whole story of that day will never come to light because Mark is dead but
at least we now know that Justin a selfless woman who devoted your life to helping others was
viciously killed by a man she had never met
