Should I run for the hills from this girl?

    I met this girl over the Internet on a dating site. She seemed very nice and we got on well and it has progressed well. I am irish living in UK by the way. She is English.

    I met her 8 times over the last 2 months.
    Basically she's a girlfriend for me if I want her to be.

    However - while she looks,speaks and appears in every way a normal girl I have discovered some red flags about her and her family over the course if the dates.

    Her dad spent has been in prison many times - the most serious being for attempted murder. As far as I can gather he has not been in prison anytime over the last 30 years though and now appears to be a very successful business man.

    Her cousin is currently serving 18 years for some massive high profile robbery.

    Her uncle provides security for pubs but as far as I can gather it is a very dodgy thing. It seems like a protection racket you would see on the sopranos. She mentioned how people 'disappear' Although personally im not sure I believe that. I think she may have watched too much tv. But nonetheless it all seems dodgy anyway.

    And lately she told me she herself had some charge against her. That was 9 years ago though - and she did admit it to me unprompted and seemed regretful and embarrassed. I don't even know the detail of it nor do I really want to know. But I think it was some act of aggression on her part.
    Also - her dad seems crazily over protective too. He had some secret tracker installed in her phone unknown at her. She removed it 3 years ago. She is currently 33. He constantly rings her at all hours to check up on her too. I'm thinking I really don't want to be on his bad side.

    Anyway - basically this all sits uncomfortably with me. It's getting to the stage whereby she is putting the squeeze on me to to give a bit more commitment. I would definitely be on for it only for these things.
    Im basically saying should I be running as fast as I can from these people? Who knows what I'm letting myself in for.
    But then she herself seems fine and respectable in any dealings I've had with her personally. She has a normal job, looks and speaks normal etc.

    Just looking for other people's input.

    Suffice to say I do not know of anyone who has ever had trouble with police - and most certainly not on this level. I would be a normal irish middle-class person.

    If it were me I would run a mile. You don't know her long enough to become attached to her at this stage, but what happens if you stick with her for a longer period and then want out. I would not like to become involved with her because you don't know what you could be getting yourself into. I would not tell her how I feel because that would be like waving a red flag to a bull. Then you could have her relations accusing you of judging her. It could all spiral out of control. Your gut instinct is right, steer clear. That's just my opinion.
