Missing DCU Student - Paul Bunbury

Attol · 2012-02-04 13:24:33

Hey guys, I apologise for the double post but I think this deserves it. Paul Bunbury, a DCU Student has recently gone missing. Paul hasn't been seen since Thursday at roughly 4pm in DCU and nobody has been able to contact him. His family are very worried, and are appealing to anybody with information to contact Whitehall…

Hey guys,

I apologise for the double post but I think this deserves it.

Paul Bunbury, a DCU Student has recently gone missing. Paul hasn't been seen since Thursday at roughly 4pm in DCU and nobody has been able to contact him. His family are very worried, and are appealing to anybody with information to contact Whitehall Garda Station on 01-6664500.

A group of people are going towards DCU to look for Paul, If you're willing to help look around campus/the park/surrounding areas, everyone's meeting at 2pm today in front of the Helix.

Please pass this message on to anyone you know. Hopefully someone has seen him.

I'm not being a smart arse and i hope he turns up soon. But when i was a student i could have disappeared for days at house parties. Phone lost and whatnot.

I hope he turns up safe though.

Fair point but none of his friends have heard anything at all and it is very unlike him. He's usually very active online but hasn't logged into anything since he was last seen.

Know the guys face from around campus and have a few mutual friends.

Never nice to hear of anyone just disappearing unexpectedly.

Just a quick update..

Dublin bus CCTV has been wiped.. So that's now a dead end..
(Seems kinda pointless them even having CCTV if it can't be used when needed)

If anyone knows anyone who was in DCU that day and headed for a bus, could they please pass on Pauls description and pass on any information?

After going to Spar - his next move is unknown.

A group of 15-20 searched DCU and some of the surrounding area today with no luck.

Spread the word. Here's hoping he returns safe and well.
Cheers.

I don't mean to be smart or anything, but the programming society 'Red Brick' have been away in Belgium since Thursday. Is there any possibility that he might be a member of that group? (Maybe he just didn't make it very known he was leaving if this was the case).
All in all though, hope he turns up safe and well!

I doubt they'd post that they were missing a member if he was with them: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/

He's definitely not in Belgium, unfortunately. His Laser card was left behind in his room and he doesn't have a valid passport. The people on the trip haven't heard from him either

Saw this on facebook earlier, thought it was some stupid injoke/practical joke, it's awful that it's not.

Hopefully he'll turn up soon, Pyg's a great poster.

Anybody know where he was heading to after he left college. Did he go back to his place after college , was his bag there. What was his route home.
Are people out looking . Walking the route he usually takes home.
We all thought my mate was missing when we were about 17 . Another mate told us he rang the mas house and she was very upset. HE then told us he was last seen in Artane. So we got the only one of us from the group with a car to drive there. Turned out the chap started the rumour cause he wanted a lift to mcDonalds.

I hope its something silly like this.
