I hope they find her, her husband and family must be sick with worry.

I doubt they'll find her alive which is awful.

I know this is a possibility but you have to hope she will be found alive. Not knowing where she is or if she is hurt has to be the worst thing for her husband and family.

Lollipops23 · 27-09-2012 10:44AM

I really hope they get answers in the next few hours/days. I know it's increasingly unlikely, but still holding out hope she's found chained up in his basement or something, still alive.

I wonder if it's the Gregson? guy who came forward yesterday? There was an article about him on this link earlier on, with a photo of him etc..., and that article seems to have disappeared from the website. He looked about the same age as the man arrested.

Lets hope they have the guilty person.

TeddyTedson · 27-09-2012 10:49AM

Probably the worst thing in the world for the parents. Daughter living abroad in a far away country and goes missing. They must feel helpless.

Hopefully she's found alive.

I'm not nit picking here but her parents live in Perth and have done for many years. The whole family moved over years ago. She came over here for a while to finish secondary school and then went back to OZ.

Hope she is found save and well

Ash.J.Williams · 27-09-2012 11:14AM

I think there is a decent chance she is still alive

Pompey Magnus · 27-09-2012 11:15AM

Police say the man arrested is the guy with the blue hoodie, no known criminal record.

27-09-2012 11:15AM

Horrible.

tmc86 · 27-09-2012 11:16AM

hopefully she is still alive. The missing campaign got so much coverage and awareness that hopefully the guilty party was sensible and didn't do anything stupid like that

+1,000,000.

Pompey Magnus · 27-09-2012 11:34AM

Police have said the arrested man is refusing to cooperate and that it is a full on homicide investigation so chances she is still alive are very remote.

Bollox.
Hope they make him spill the beans.

So I guess that cleares the Gregson guy who came forward yesterday.

RossFixxxed · 27-09-2012 11:52AM

I remember Jill from UCD. She was a tiny girl that had glasses stacked up to roof as she flew around the bar where she worked.

This case has gotten under my skin, more than I expected. I really hope something comes of this arrest. I really hope she is still alive, but it does not look good. I'm not a praying man but today is the day for it.

ejmaztec · 27-09-2012 11:55AM

I hope this is wrong

The best her husband and family can hope for now is that her body is found and that she did not suffer too much.
I cannot imagine how anyone copes with the not knowing and not been there with her when she was in danger.
My heart goes out to her family it's such a sad story.

Oh whoops. I haven't really been following the story, I just assumed.

Micky Dolenz · 27-09-2012 12:20PM

MOD

This is breaking news so please refrain from speculation for respect of her friends and family until more info is released.

Thanks

Parents also live in Australia so far as know.

Pompey Magnus · 27-09-2012 12:42PM

Why might police charge him with murder if no body has been found and presumably no confession along with the possibility of more people involved in the abduction?

Is it normal practice to charge with murder with so little to go on or would police have more information not released yet?

The police are sure to have more information they haven't released. There were more security cameras along that road for a start and god knows what turned up in their searches.

But there is always hope she will turn up alive.

I reckon there's a lot going on in the background that's not being reported since the arrest... checking where he lived / evidence / prints and DNA matches etc...
They'll charge if the evidence is stacking up.
Family will be rightly kept informed of all this before we are.
My thought and prayers are with them. Poor Tom. Cant even imagine what he's going through

The police almost always have a lot more info that they choose not to release to the public. I'm sure they know a lot of what went on.

Still hoping for a happy outcome for this case. Can't even imagine what her husband and parents are going through.
