She apparently was seen talking to a guy on CCTV near the Sanctuary on Dumbarton Road, went back to a guy's flat on Dorchester Ave where they were intimate and then was last seen walking back to the city center at 4am because she didn't like to take cabs.
She's missing for more than 48 hours so this doesn't look good.

lukesmom · 14-04-2015 05:58PM

Yes and the fact that they have found her handbag in a nearby park

hope to God her parents get the strength to cope with whatever the outcome.

Laois_Man · 14-04-2015 05:58PM

The head cop at the press conference wouldn't exactly inspire confidence in you!

Yer man who she was seen talking to on CCTV and who then brought her back to his place by car was traced, he didn't come forward

She preferred to walk in the dark rather than take a taxi or take another lift from him or even wait another couple of hours before leaving

Her handbag has been found in a park near his gaff

She supposedly spent 3 hours with this fella without texting or phoning anyone in all that time, even though she had walked out of the nightclub, sober and would have known her friends would be worried.

All very odd.

No, she hasn't been heard from since she 'left' the guys house at 4am. Very suspect.

Yes and she left the club without her coat.

arayess · 14-04-2015 06:19PM

But cops have seen cctv and they report she went back willingly. I think it's too early to judge the police.
Kinda odd she forgot her coat and didn't tell her pals she was going but with drink taken maybe she didn't think of it.

Hope she is found safe and well.

Menas · 14-04-2015 06:24PM

I do hope she is found well....and that we dont see to any tabloidish speculation on what may have happened. Terrible time that the family are going thru now.

irishfeen · 14-04-2015 06:31PM

Didn't know this girl personally but recognise her from around Mallow and lots of my friend know her well, she was in the same year as me at the other school in town... god I hope she is found well - it must be hell for her family

A Dub in Glasgo · 14-04-2015 06:32PM

About 15 police are currently searching the park, does not look good at all

Is the case getting much coverage over there?

Pumpkinseeds · 14-04-2015 06:35PM

Seems very odd that she told her friends that she was going to the toilet and then left the club without her coat and without telling them that she was leaving. It doesn't make sense that she'd lie about going to the toilet if she was planning on leaving the club

Yes, since yesterday. Led the local news on STV and presumably on BBC1 Scotland. It is also the 2nd item on ITN News. The news papers have been covering extensively

This is a terrible situation that does not look it will end well

Edit: Quite prominent in the main broadsheet in Scotland

PressRun · 14-04-2015 07:07PM

I saw an article about this posted on Facebook yesterday. A girl commented underneath it saying that she was from the area and that she had encountered a strange man trying to get girls to get into a car with him while on a night out with friends. I wonder if it's connected. She said she was reporting it to the police. Really hoping for the best though and that it's not some creep.

LorMal · 14-04-2015 08:21PM

God Bless Her and her poor family

Hitchens · 14-04-2015 08:40PM

I thought of that basterd in Australia straightaway, I hope I'm wrong

wdmfapq4zs83hv · 14-04-2015 09:27PM

Has a real feel of the Jill Meagher case about it. Hope Im wrong.

Laois_Man · 14-04-2015 10:06PM

One of the troubling things also is, if you know your Glasgow geography, if she was leaving the guys gaff in Dorchester Ave to walk home to Hill street, she wouldn't have been walking past Dawsholm Park where her bag was found. The only reason she would have gone towards Dawsholm Park would have been to get on the subway from Kelvinsdale station but the trains don't go anywhere around 4am sort of time. Probably not a bus either

Also, while she would have crossed one bridge over the river Kelvin, she wouldn't have been following a track parallel to it or anything where she could have easily fallen in. But they are searching the river Kelvin now!

JONJO THE MISER · 14-04-2015 10:07PM

Sniffer dogs and a incident truck now on scene, doesnt look good, hope im wrong.

Hachiko · 14-04-2015 10:08PM

Glasgow is a pitful dump, was there a few times.

Hope she is found but it doesnt bode well the fact she has not contacted anyone.

Makes no sense why anyone would leave a place at 4am on a Sunday morning to walk home - no trains, subway or buses. Walk to Great Western Road and flag a black cab if you are afraid of private hire cabs

Edit: If I remember correctly, it was lashing rain during the night

I think we all hope so.

whiskeyman · 14-04-2015 10:17PM

I reckon the cops know more than they've released.
The latest on info of a silver car is odd.
doesn't look good at all.
poor family and friends

beks101 · 14-04-2015 10:17PM

I don't understand how this guy is not being called a suspect. What rules him out as a suspect?

Hachiko · 14-04-2015 10:20PM

She could have been drunk, what was she thinking of leaving a place at 4am. (over an hour to walk home??) Not to contact her friends is strange.

And Glasgow is a dump, when I last heard it had one of the worst crime rates, loads of unemployment and general unwanted types about and after a few visits my opinion would not change. I would not head out there myself on a night out.

back on topic, I hope some good news comes out of this.

I'd imagine he probably is a suspect, but I've seen the Polis do it that way before. They don't identify people as suspects until they have something concrete to suspect them of.

The poor thing!!!

The longer it goes on the less likely there will be for a good outcome.

What is the significance of the grey car? why is there a focus on its movement from 11am to 3pm on Monday Monday?

razorblunt · 14-04-2015 10:23PM

Not looking god, but heavens above, what possessed her to walk out the door at 4am?

Maybe she got a bad feeling about the bloke she went home with and decided to split.

The weirdest part I find is her leaving the club without telling her mates

A Dub in Glasgo · 14-04-2015 10:28PM

The 4am account is from the chap with no corroboration so far
