    I sadly just can't see that happening in AH... Don't lower yourself to their level, just report the post instead if it does happen!

    Hope she turns up safe

    A friend of a friend of mine was reported missing last week, there was a FB page set up and it was on the RTE website etc ... he turned up safe last night. Just mentioning it to show that there are some happy endings; hopefully Sonia will turn up safe and sound as well.

    I'm just surprised that there hasn't been more media attention when she's been missing since June!

    Good to hear. That's sadly the first time I've ever heard of anyone showing up after a prolonged absence.

    Yes, it was. I really don't know any details, just that he "presented himself" to Gardai last night. The facebook page has since been deleted.

    It makes you think though, how often does the person in question turn up safe and well, but it just doesn't hit the media? Like in Tom's case?

    As I said, I really hope Sonia is OK too, wherever she is.

    The news artice is very vague.

    Hope she is safe, and just decided to fall off the radar for a while for her own personal reasons.

    She's very much a free spirit. I hope she's okay and is simply on an unannounced trip to find herself.

    Come home soon Sony Sonia :)

    Drop a comment on the Facebook page, there is something about posters and required permission..
    Be Great if you could put one up.

    No details of clothes I'm afraid. She has a very distinctive tattoo on her arm though. Picture of it on the FB page also.
    Last seen at her home in Clondalkin.

    Thanks for looking guys.

    I'm nearly sure I saw her in Clondalkin Village not too long ago*, the Tattoo isn't exactly forgettable...




    *Not too long ago being a couple of weeks ago.

    Saw the FB page only this morning. Terrible thing,really hope she turns up healthy and happy soon.


    As someone mentioned,she could have just dropped off the radar for her own reasons,lord knows we all feel like doing it now and again.

    Thoughts with her friends and family.

    Is her passport missing?

    Any bank transactions? Can you hack her hotmail/googlemail/yahoo account?

    Since I live in Holland I can keep an eye out for that tattoo. Amsterdam does tend to be a stopping point for many a tattooed and pierced stray or runaway.
