MISSING LAD!!!!!!! AGED JUST YRS

[jamboure]

A wee lad near our home has been missing since 8.30 yesterday morning!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been on the news all day
police have had helicopters up too.

poor lad was dropped of at school yesterday at 8.30 but never went in.

Can't imagine what his family are going through but PLEASE!!!!!! if there is a god make him be found safe and well

Just wanted to send loads of love and support to the family.

my friend was murdered when I was 16 (she was 17) and I can honestly say it tears a family apart. I watched her parents literally disintegrate before my eyes. They did stay together in the end. I hope rory's family and friends get proper counselling

I am on annual leave at the moment and don't know much. I listened to the news and a psychlogist was analysing the M.O (modus operandi) and I have to say I agreed with his thoughts - i.e - no obvious signs of violence - was it somebody Rory knew. The cause of death - asphyxiation (don't know if spelled properly)appears to be non-violent/passive (I say that in the loosest sense) Also I was very surprised that there were no signs of sexual assault, which was my initial thoughts - Thank God that is the case.
I have great belief in my colleagues and am VERY confident that this monster will be caught, hopefully very soon.

Jampots - Rory's family have seperated, I think very recently and this was featured early in the enquiry, that Rory was still upset about this. How must they be feeling now!!!!

Oh no I didnt realise that. Poor souls = all of them

Are you comfortable speaking about your friend's death

yes - it was 20 years ago now

What were the circumstances - Did they ever get the murderer?

DH's uncle was mudered in 1984, his family have never really got over it. It didn't help bumping into the killer on the bus after he served 9 months in jail.

Even when a child dies naturally its so hard for the family to deal with, let alone when a child is murdered.

yes. she answered an advert for a model which he had placed in a local Post Office. She was out of work and the money offered was good. She only told her dad. He was 49 and he hung her.

9 months!!!!!!!!!! Was he insane or something

9 months?

Sorry jampots don't want to sound daft - did you say your friend's dad murdered her

they turned it around to manslaughter, said it wasn't premeditated. Well, the fact that he went and got the murder weapon and then returned to the flat makes it premeditated if you ask me. His poor mum had been through so much.

I cant contemplate how somebody could kill another innocent human being let alone a child. its so sad that little boy had his whole life beofre him ,its so sick, i wish that who ever did it there concience gets to them in the end, its the best punsihment.

gosh no. The man who placed the post office advert, an amateur photographer who was apparently well liked locally and used to advertise and photograph ladies quite a lot

do you know if he had any previous convictions? Does the murderer still stay locally

i agree charlee

I think killing the muderer lets them get off with it too easily. Not sure what punishment they should get, maybe let the victims family deal with them.

dont think he had previous and he was sentenced to life but hey that was 20 years ago now so is probably out. My dh was her boyfriend at the time - he would kill him if he found him

Jampots - So sorry , I'm a bit thick and still in annual leave mode - what happened to the B***d

sorry i think i answered for kid earlier

Dh's family got a tiny bit of justice in the end. The killer ended up being killed himself and they didn't catch anyone for it. He was pure evil.

I think the United States have the best system. Put the victim's family in front of the judge, jury, suspect, suspect's family and let them tell all - What their life has been like since the incident and that it will NEVER be the same again. This should also happen in Sexual cases.

the muderer did stay local, until he was sent back to jail for another incident. In the trial it turned out he had been up to no good for years before the murder so he should have been in jail years before if only he had been caught.

The British system is so so so wrong
