Such a long time before she was reported missing.

Could be due to her age

I find it a bit sad that nobody knew her plans ie how she was getting home and who with etc

What a nightmare, in Leeds you're basically on CCTV at all times in the city centre shame they can't track her movements after the bridge.

Yes that's something that really annoys me, the UK is like the CCTV capital of the world but whenever anything happens it's always the same story, it either never got picked up on the cameras or they were facing the other way etc makes you wonder if it was worth the cash they spent installing them all.

Especially over or around water, let's hope they can piece it together, the club may have a pic of this creepy guy?

[Ninastar]

I thought about Claudia Lawrence too...

Really hope she found soon... Doesn't sound good sadly.

her poor family

I don't understand how her friends lost her in that ten minute gap of time when all they did was cross the bridge hope she's found but it isn't looking promising :/

Yeah same..surely one of them would have realised she was no longer there?

[Cherry Christmas]

Maybe something happened crossing the bridge, just odd that none of the group that were with her noticed she was no longer there, I suppose if they were all pissed but even so..

Definitely odd that, after reading that part it becomes one of these ones where you are thinking 'hmmm there's something not right'

This part of the article is not good...



Hope she's found safe.

It is really worrying isn't it? A girl on my course at uni has been missing since September and her parents didn't file a missing person report or even try to find out where she was until December... mad

Yeah I've got a funny feeling about this too... either somebody's done something very horrible to her or her friends aren't telling the whole truth, just doesn't stack up IMO

Yeah I agree...something definitely dodgy with the story..

Hope she is found safe and well

Its easy enough done...we managed to lose someone while just going out of a bar door once. Searched inside and everywhere outside and in the surrounding area too. Still never found out where she went, she doesnt remember herself

Yeah just the other night I disappeared off home and none of my friends knew where I'd gone; these things happen, but the difference is that my friends were texting me asking where I'd gone and spoke to me the next day so obviously knew I was okay. I just can't believe none of her friends noticed for days. That's shocking to me.

Yeah the not noticing is quite dodgy :/

Having said that, I dont think them noticing sooner would have made much of a difference if her body has been found in a river. Chances are she was in there within a few mins of being lost :S

Yeah I can't imagine she survived very long if she was drunk enough to fall into the river in the first place; and if her friends were that drunk that they didn't notice her disappearing then they wouldn't have been any use in helping her even if they'd noticed, perhaps more than one person would have drowned if they'd tried to help her. But yeah, just scary how alcohol can affect some people - when I'm absolutely wasted I still manage to get home in one piece, I don't lose any of my things, I take my contact lenses out and wake up in my own bed. I don't throw up everywhere, get into fights or wake up in strange places. Some people don't have that level of control, and I just think if your relationship with alcohol is destructive then you really should just learn to stay away from it before something awful happens...
