Re: Missing in Dubai...
 
I saw this yesterday, the fact she doesn't have her phone with her says one of two things, either:-

a) Foul play or
b) She doesn't want people to know where she is.

Are the police taking this seriously? Cameras everywhere, the car can be tracked really quickly if needed.

Hope the lass turns up safe and well but I fear for her, this isn't natural - anyone remember the Kerry Winter case? Or the Timmy MacColl one?

Neither has ever been found.

Very worrying. Saw lots on Facebook last night, hopefully she turns up safe.

Not having the phone is.... not good. Hope it all ends well.

I'm sure the police are on it. No one wants a replay of the Timmy Maccoll disappearance.

I bet Mitch is getting a bit worried.

saw this on my FB news feed - I highly doubt she will have been abducted or the like...my bet is she's probably done a runner

surely they should be able to confirm if she has left the country?

Of course they can. Maybe if she has left the country, she's asked that the Police/Immigration people don't release those details.

Dear all, we were just informed Kirsty has been found and is safe.
Thank you all for all shares and caring.
We had thousands of people looking and that just warms up our hearts.
God bless you all

From their FB page.

Honestly it all seems a bit weird. Gone less than 24 hours and it's all over social media. Granted it was out of character and so on, but still...

Good she's surfaced though..

I don't mean story, I mean; I wonder what happened....rather than sounding like I'm sniping.

I've spend longer in the bathroom after a curry than she was actually missing for.

Good to see that people actually care though - It'll be weeks before anyone would start looking for me :lol:

She's outside of the country apparantly , the boyfriend is currently on a plane , doesn't know she's been found or shall we say surfaced ;)

The wife works with an acquaintance

Re: Missing in Dubai...
 
Reddit thread says she's with her family.

If true, the boyfriend is probably *****ed over. Feel sorry for him.

On a totally not related note, there was a tiny article in one of the local rags a few days ago about four men arrested for murdering a female Chinese "tourist" in UAQ. Glad to see this didn't end up as one of those awful situations.

But yeah, it does make you speculate on what you'd actually do if your GF suddenly disappeared. Risk going to the police and being arrested for out of wedlock sex? Subject yourself to potentially intense investigation for months, along with mysterious jail times and trials all in Arabic and you have no idea what's going on or being said, before falling afoul of some conservative judge who decides to wrap it up quickly to save Dubai's face by sentencing you as an example of western hedonism?

Next thing you know it's you on the cover of the DM.

I am sorry Mission. I didn’t say that at all. I don’t think you understood what was — this was locker room talk. I’m not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the British Expat Forum. Certainly I’m not proud of it. But this is locker room talk. You know, when we have a world where you have ISIS chopping off heads, where you have — and, frankly, drowning people in steel cages, where you have wars and horrible, horrible sights all over, where you have so many bad things happening, this is like medieval times. We haven’t seen anything like this, the carnage all over the world. And they look and they see. Can you imagine the people that are, frankly, doing so well against us with ISIS? And they look at our country and they see what’s going on. Yes, I’m very embarrassed by it. I hate it. But it’s locker room talk, and it’s one of those things. I will knock the hell out of ISIS. We’re going to defeat ISIS. ISIS happened a number of years ago in a vacuum that was left because of bad judgment. And I will tell you, I will take care of ISIS.
