To wonder why the disappearance of Nora Quoirin....

[LEELULUMPKIN]

Is not getting far more media coverage?

Whoa OP, I do understand your personal link to this, but it really has been in the headline news every day that she has been missing.

Looks like they are scaling down the search and I read yesterday that them finding footprints wasn't true. Sounds so sad and hopeless.

Where on earth has she gone?? Unbelievable. Poor girl, she must be terrified and so confused.

I reckon that's it. Terrified and confused would make her want to hide. Hearing helicopters etc might make it so much worse. its just awful. Its like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I cannot imagine being her parents.

Sadly they are thinking they doubt she can survive much longer especially with the weather.

All I saw in the news interview was an upset man comforting his distraught wife.

Me too

I agree that the reporting of this story is slightly off, and like PPs I can't quite put my finger on it.

Truly awful awful story. I can't think about it too much as it's too distressing.

I agree that the reporting of this story is slightly off, and like PPs I can't quite put my finger on it What way do you mean? Just curious.

Who knows what happened but the only thing I found strange was them thanking everyone almost as if they had accepted that the search was coming to a close or maybe they were acting that way cause they want it to continue and don't want the search and help to look like its been taken for granted.

It must be awful for them hearing that the search is being scaled down. The worst outcome would be a situation like Madeline Mccann or Ben Needham, where she’s never found and the family have no closure. Let’s hope that she is found, whatever the circumstances, so at least her family know.

Ahh yes, suspicious arm stroking when your distraught wife is talking to the world in front of a TV camera

I thought the stroking of the arm was nothing out of the ordinary. It was just a father comforting his wife. The police guy at the end leans over when she looks like she is going to get incredibly upset.

My daughter is 13 and has SN. She's very vulnerable. She went on a camp two weeks ago and got lost going to the toilet (she had been allowed to 'try' going on her own, to see how she'd cope, by the person looking after her). She said she was 'crying her eyes out' but the person who found her was 'very kind'. In reality, she was quite safe (church camp with high security and ability to lock the site down if someone goes missing) but I can't imagine how I would react if I was Nora's Mum. I think she's being incredibly dignified

I feel strongly that any family in the public eye in a situation like this can do nothing right. Stroking his wife's arm? It's all an act. Doesn't stroke his wife's arm? Obviously something wrong, wouldn't any genuine couple want to comfort each other? Very emotional? Look at them acting distraught, they're hiding something. Calm and rational? They obviously don't care.

I hope with all my heart that my family never find themselves in a position where our every move is judged.

Hear hear isabellerossignol, I totally agree.

More about this in the press about this than the girl missing in York.

I'm not sure she is alive

Beyond awful!

Totally agree isabellerossignol

They are living every parent’s worst nightmare. There is no right way to act in front of the world’s media.

I know what you mean OP.

Poor girl :(

@joystir59 what a dickhead comment.

@joystir59 bravo on your armchair detective work

They both must be at their wits end. Knowing there daughter is lost in the jungle and time is running out. Its so horrible. I am of the belief she maybe got confused and wandered out. I cannot see how having only been there in that location for such a short time, she has been abducted.
