Tazio Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’ve been seeing links on social media, and in the last couple of days, a poster campaign in shops about this missing woman. She’s been missing since early on New Years Day yet amazingly the BBC have only started to cover it now. No idea if it’s been in the local press as I don’t buy it but I’d hope so. Must be terrible for her family, impossible to comprehend in reality. So I just thought it should be on here as well, you know, just in case. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-59921554 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Haggis Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Was down at Porty today - Lots of ‘Missing’ posters up through the Main Street and Promenade. Very worrying - hope she is found safe and well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fxxx the SPFL Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Me and the missus were in Harbour Bar Newhaven on Tuesday and a lass came in to hand a poster over to John the owner to put up. There’s actually four people missing in Edinburgh according to media reports in the last couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as though they went back to a property in Marlborough Street before she was last seen by friends leaving at 10am, and nothing since. But for me, that's where it gets mad. Hard to make a point without truly speculating, which of course I really don't want to do. But, Marlborough Street is 2 streets away from her home in Bath Street. To get from one to the other, she either cuts along the high street, or along Straiton Place which is in sight of a pretty busy playpark along a good length of it. With that in mind, I feel like she must've been going a detour or whatever after leaving her friends, or some very out of the norm foul play has been carried out. Either way, that's a pretty busy little area, even on New Years day, so someone has to have seen something? Harrowing either way. Quite a few cases of missing people this week in Edinburgh and no sightings of any of them. I sincerely hope all are found safe and well.

hughesie27 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Police asking the public not to organise search party's too as it may hamper their investigations. Fou d that a bit odd. Police mate of mine could only think that they might be using sniffer dogs and a group would confuse the scent. Believe she never had a phone on her and she's been described as Vulnerable so likely some learning difficulties.

Armageddon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I read she left her phone in the flat as it was broken, phones are key obviously to tracking. if she’s wanted to get away she’s picked the most difficult day of the year to travel anywhere, and there’s no further CCTV reported, there must be plenty CCTV down Porty way. Hope she turns up very soon Strange there’s 3 guys missing (unconnected to each other) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniffer dogs by and large don't follow a 'scent' of a person, they can, but more often they follow a track of 'strange' scents that shouldn't be there, things like trampled grass- that smells different to non-trampled grass - indicating that someone has recently walked through there. I believe after about 24 hours, a sniffer dog can't help. On that topic, what dogs can do is incredible. We just recently adopted a German Shepherd/Husky rescue doggie. She can tell that someone is coming to the door before we have any idea that someone is 50 ft away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Really strange one this. Doesn’t seem to be much coverage of it, outside of Portobello. I was in the car a couple of days ago and the news on the radio mentioned the guy that went missing from Musselburgh on NYD but nothing about this lassie. Over a week now. You can’t help but think that, unless she’s ran off for some reason, the chances of her turning up alive are slim. Hopefully she turns up safe and we’ll though.

Sharpie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Of course these circumstances are not unusual. Unfortunately there are two quite frequent conclusions. One is an affair with a married partner is resolved by leaving without notice to locate in a whole new location to continue life as a couple, often with assumed names. The second of course is the more upsetting where the victim is being held against their will, or is not recoverable. That I am fairly certain will be the primary targets of the police enquiry, the dogs will be sniffing for any clues hidden or buried and the detectives will be seeking and interviewing anyone the missing person has known. It is a difficult task, witnesses are emotional and sometimes will restrict their answers to cover for what they believe or even know what has happened, sometimes the situation is resolved and sometimes years pass with no information, a trying situation.

Herbert. Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 She's maybe went off somewhere to kill herself. That's a more likely explanation than getting murdered. On a similar note a old guy went missing in St Andrews in November I think and after about 2weeks nothing was reported about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed Porty would have had plenty cameras, there's defo one at the crossroads above the pub, I just think it's a strange day to try and travel anywhere, New Years Day is a pain in the hoop to get around, the 'broken phone' is maybe a clue she didn't fancy being tracked or narrowed down. Fingers crossed for her but it's not looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for her but it's not looking great. The streets would be quiet aswell and there wouldn't be much traffic on the roads. With there being so few buses it would be pretty easy to find her on cctv so where ever she's went is by car or foot and I don't think it's a bundled in the back of a car job, Surely someone would have heard or seen something if there was shouting or screaming in the street.

You’ve got to think she's not in view as a camera would have picked her up, there's banks close by, a Police station, if she drove anywhere that would be on the ANPR and her car would be found somewhere. I guess if the police suspected foul play they'd have taped off the flat, could they know she's used a bank card or something? Weird weird weird!

Even on NYD, Portobello would still be fairly busy. It was a pleasant day and plenty dog walkers would've been down the Promenade. As I mentioned in an earlier post, regardless of what happened, someone is bound to have seen her. Maybe naive of me, but I refuse to believe of any foul play down in Portobello in broad daylight. As time goes on, its looking more and more like she wanted to go missing and didn't want to be found safe and well. Very sad and as much as I hope for a positive outcome, I just can't see it now.
