Officers seen leaving flat with bags and boxes

Forensic officers carrying boxes and black bags have left a property in Dorchester Avenue, the street at the centre of the search for the missing Irish student.

The hunt for Karen Buckley is focusing on Dawsholm Park in the north-west of Glasgow and a nearby flat in Dorchester Avenue where the 24-year-old was last seen.

Two officers in forensic suits entered the flat and are searching an area to the rear which has been cordoned off. Members of the search team were pictured carrying spades.

I wouldn't rule him out though.

...hmmm, the other odd phrasing in the police statements was that the guy whose flat she went to had 'believed consensual sex had taken place..'....

Human remains have been found on a farm north of Glasgow by officers searching for missing student Karen Buckley.

Formal identification has yet to take place but police believe they may be those of the missing 24-year-old.

Her relatives have been informed of the discovery on the outskirts of Milngavie.

Ms Buckley was last seen in the early hours of Sunday morning after a night out in Glasgow.

A 21-year-old man, believed to be Alexander Pacteau, was earlier detained by officers and police said they were "following a definite line of enquiry".

The student, from Cork in Ireland, vanished in the early hours of Sunday after spending the night with friends at Glasgow's Sanctuary nightclub on Dumbarton Road.

She told them at around 1am she was going to the toilet, but failed to return and left her jacket behind.


CCTV spotted the 24-year-old leaving the club with Mr Pacteau, who then drove her to his flat two miles away in Dorchester Avenue.

He told officers Ms Buckley left at 4am after they had had consensual sex.

Ms Buckley, who began an occupational therapy degree at Glasgow Caledonian University in February, and was previously a nurse at the Princess Alexandria hospital in Harlow, Essex, has not been seen since.


Her parents flew from their home in Cork to help with the search.

Dozens of officers have been searching a remote country lane between Glasgow and Drymen. The road to a farm there - High Craigton Farm - has been cordoned off.

A helicopter was seen circling over woodland and police on scrambler bikes have been searching the area.

Officers have also been asking residents whether they had seen any bonfires there over the past few days.

Police previously asked for information about a grey car spotted in the area between 11am and 3pm on Monday

Police investigating the disappearance of student Karen Buckley in Glasgow are searching a park where her handbag was found.


Police divers, a helicopter crew and search dogs have been deployed to Dawsholm Park, which is bordered on one side by the River Kelvin.

The 24-year-old vanished in the early hours of Sunday after spending Saturday night with friends at Glasgow's Sanctuary nightclub on Dumbarton Road.

She told them at around 1am she was going to the toilet, but failed to return and left her jacket behind.

CCTV spotted her leaving the club with 21-year-old Alexander Pacteau, who then drove her to his flat.

Mr Pacteau is not a suspect, but communal areas outside his flat in Dorchester Avenue have been taped off while officers look for clues.

He told officers she left at 4am. It is believed she was planning to walk back to her flat four miles away in Hill Street.

Plus she had no jacket and it was raining...not looking good for this poor girl

[rubymoo]

This isn't looking good

[arista]

it looks like we will soon find out more

[rubymoo]

This is terrible, her family's heart must be breaking

The Sanctuary nightclub is literally a 10 min walk from my flat, it's a bit of a dive, wouldn't ever go back there again. Really feel for this girl, it's not looking good and have to assume that some harm has come to her but I hope they find her soon... Seems a bit unfair to name the guy she had a one night stand with like that, seeing as he's not a suspect at this stage...

Tbh I've bailed on friends on a night out before and done the "going to the toilet" trick and never come back but I'd never leave my jacket...

[Firewire]

Plus she'd only been in Glasgow since February apparently? So surely didn't know the people she was out with too well
