Blathnaid Timothy, from Smith Hall, Camden Street , Dublin 2, is described as being 5’6’’ in height, with medium length dark brown hair.

She is described as thin build with a pale complexion. She is believed to have been wearing a three-quarter length black wool jacket when last seen.

Hope she is found safe & well though. Family & friends must be going through hell at the moment.

Might not be any harm to PM a mod & ask them to post this on top of the first page to bring peoples attention to it in case anyone has seen her or can help.

Does anyone know if this can be done????

I just see this article in the Irish Times today:

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/1220/1224285916334.html

It contains some additional information.... Blathnaid is believed to have withdrawn money from an ATM on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay in Dublin just before 8pm on Tuesday last (14th).

I was about to mail a mod about this very topic.


I used to work with Bla. She's a great person.

AH'ers, please, do a favour for me. Hold off on the supposition in the thread, and just focus on getting the word out until we can get her safely back to her family.

Does anyone know if there's anything we can do to help? Knew Blathnaid when I went to school in Glenamaddy - a lovely girl - is there anyone co-ordinating a search? posters? email? Would love to help in any way possible...

El Stuntman I'm also worked with Blathnaid up till last year.

All of us here are hoping for the best and are helping to get the word out.

All the best to you and yours and hopefully Blathnaid will turn up sound and well.


*crosses everything*

ElStuntman,

I've been in touch with lots of Blathnaid's school friends from the Mercy and also from glan, we could easily organise a group to put posters up, hand out flyers in Dublin and set up a Facebook page etc, if this would be of assistance to the search effort...

Let me know,
Rgds, ger x

please check out this latest article which gives further details of Blathnaid's movements.

The CCTV footage was just shown briefly on the news, the Gardai should make available on youtube and news websites. I hope she turns up safe..

police video copied and uploaded here: http://irishtaxi.org/?p=2179

I'm afraid its not very good, determining who the driver is from that video would be impossible,I'm surprised they were able to determine the car is a black Mercedes

Know Blathnaid from Glenamaddy too. Living in Dublin so if there is anything I can do to help in the search for her please give me a call.

Hi,

this is Glyn Murphy (I also posted the earlier posts here which I am now reposting under my own name as I want to try and tidy up web searches etc). I'm Blathnaid's brother-in-law.

As posted earlier, the main focus at present is on finding the driver of a black Mercedes taxi who picked Blathnaid up on Sir John Rogerson's Quay at exactly 8pm on Tuesday, 14th December. She had just withdrawn money from the ATM of the National Irish Bank branch there.

She was wearing a black woolen 3/4 length coat, a red and black scarf and grey jeans.

If you are a taxi driver or know anyone who is a taxi driver, please ask them to ask around their fellow drivers to see if anyone can identify who picked Blathnaid up. If anyone does have information, please contact the Gardai at Harcourt Terrace, 01 666 9500. You can also PM me - I am deleting the previous posts and tidying them into this one.

Thank you on behalf of Blath's family

Hi gfinn,

on this, we actually already have about a dozen people signed up for leafletting and, due to the snow, we will only have about 1500 leaflets available to give out to taxi drivers.

So, until we have more leaflets (which could be Thursday), we're trying to keep the numbers involved in direct leafletting down, especially with the snow situation. So, please don't turn up tomorrow until you hear differently - we don't want to waste people's time by not having enough leaflets.
I'm co-ordinating with Brendean on this now too re. Facebook requests.

Thanks,

Glyn

hi, my name is Dee Feeney, also from Glan, living in Dublin. There are several people available (Olivia O'Reilly, Veronica Connolly, Johanna Whyte, myself etc) to help if you need us to distribute more flyers. I will be in contact with Ger Finn about this tomorow, but for now I would like to send mine and the Feeney family's support to you all at this time.

Glyn,

I was in school with Blathnaid (and Aoife) and also worked with Blathnaid in KPMG.

Not sure if you saw the discussions between the taxi drivers on taxi.org. There are some interesting comments there in relation to the car. I'm sure the Guards have noticed these things already but just in case they are of any use whatsoever, here they are:

"firstly it looks like the driver had the interior lights on whilst driving and secondly although the footage is not as clear as would be liked it looks to me like an E class, judging by the angle of the door."

"Looks like the left rear brake light lens is maybe broken? Looks like a Skan ATM roofie. Boot a bit short for a Merc? Thinking Passat/Skoda maybe? Looks like it has a sun roof as well."

Good idea to put the leaflets up on the facebook page and then people can print them out themselves and distribute them in their local areas.

Thinking of you and the family,

Florita

Guys we`re doing all we can to trace the taxi. I contacted Harcourt Tce tonight, detectives will be in touch.

Hi Florita,

on the car situation, they are 99% sure it's a Merc based on other CCTV images (which unfortunately didn't pick up the licence or taxi number).

I'll try and get the leaflets up on Facebook at some stage tonight, I'm technically inept when it comes to FB so I'm asking a friend to help.

Thanks,

Glyn

Hi Glyn, one easy way of posting a doc to Facebook is to upload to a free file share site like http://www.megaupload.com/, set up a free account, upload the file and then copy the url into Facebook. Tested it earlier and it worked well. I can upload to my account and email you the url if you're ok with my doing so?

I'll be in with extra flyers tomorrow.

Rgds,
Ger
