    This has been posted in the Dublin 15 forum but seeing as more users frequently visit after hours I thought it may be suitable here, especially considering the huge response to previous missing person threads. Mods, feel free to remove if needs be.

    Rebekah's fifteen and hasn't been seen since last Thursday evening at the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre (dazzling discount night). She was last seen wearing her school uniform, but she may have changed her clothes since. Neither her family, friends or boyfriend have had any contact from her since and she hasn't turned up to school. Gardai have issued an appeal for information on her whereabouts.

    Please keep an eye out and get a young girl home for Christmas.

    Also missing is Leon Quirke.
    Gardaí are appealing for information regarding the whereabouts of a Dublin teenager who was last on Wednesday morning.

    Leon Quirke (17) was last seen in the Fairview area of Dublin and around 12.30am on Wednesday, 27th November.
    He is around 6 foot in height, with a thin build, with brown hair and blue eyes.
    He was last seen wearing a grey hooded top and blue jeans.

    Gardaí in Clontarf are appealing for anyone with information to contact them on 01 6664800, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or
    any Garda Station.

    Personally I think appeal should have been made public before now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭username_x


    I said the same but Gardai were notified shortly after she disappeared. Assuming it was something to do with their own investigation that they didn't make a public appeal

    Strange how they always use bad photos. Jesus I hope the poor girl turns up okay.

    Second person missing this week -

    "This is the second teen to be reported missing this week. On Monday night Gardai issued an appeal for Leon Quirke, 17, who was last seen in the Fairview area of Dublin.

    The teenage boy was still missing last night and was wearing a grey hoody and blue jeans at the last sighting of him on November 27 at 12.30am.

    He’s described as being six foot tall, slim build with brown hair and blue eyes."

    OP - maybe you could amend thread title to include Leon Quirke ??

    Indeed, and she has brown hair in photo but article states "...long blonde hair"
    Confusing.

    Anyway, hopefully she'll be home soon.

    Hope they all turn up safe and sound.

    Jesus Christ. What's going on? Kids don't just vanish into thin air. This is an epidemic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    Can't imagine what the parents are going through. Hopefully they all turn up.

    Here is a more recent photo of her. Her brother is in my class and I believe the Gardaí have tracked her phone signal and she is currently somewhere in Belfast.

    4 missing now, all within a few days of eachother. This is nuts. As emo said, kids don't just vanish into thin air. Scary :(

    Candice Crichlow - also 15, Blanchardstown

    http://www.thejournal.ie/missing-girl-dublin-1208659-Dec2013/

    A comment from somebody just 45//50 minutes ago under that article is saying that she was found.
    She was found safe and sound apparently hiding out in some persons house!

    I do not know if this is true or not.

    Hopefully it is true that she was found safe and well.
    I thought it sounded very freaky earlier that 2 young girls, both the same age, and both went missing on the exact same day in the same area. I instantly thought the worst tbh.

    I hope that it is true that Candice was found and that the other girl and the 2 missing boys are found safe now too.

    Time of year can play a part with these things, for some it's not so merry. :(

    Hope they're all found safe

    I was just looking for an update to see if Leon Quirke had been found and saw that he was missing in June 2012 as well.
    I don't know what happened, but he was found safe and well that time - hopefully it will be the same result this time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    Great news - Leon Quirke has been found safe and well according to the trace missing persons facebook page.
