Please pass on above facebook page to anyone you know in Melbourne.

I don't know Jil or her partner but they live and she was last seen minutes from our front door. I really hope there is a happy outcome for her and family...

This is Jill Meagher


Missing

In Short

Jill Meagher, 29, was seen leaving The Brunswick Green bar on Sydney Rd at about midnight, before walking to Bar Etiquette where she was last seen between 1.30am and 2am on Saturday.

She was seen headed towards Lux Way, but has not been seen again.

Lads this is not normal any information please make contact with the Brunswick or any police station.

JustAThought

PG she's found safely soon.

There's a PdF poster on the Facebook site where they're asking people in Melbourne to download & put up locally ...

I'm sure there are many Irish Citizens reading this forum, living in Australia that can help with this case:

Tweeting whenever you can. This is a strange case and I hope the poor family find their beloved girl very soon alive and healthy.

Latest Update is her handbag has been found and Homicide have taken over the case due to the circumstances.

Going by the news, it dosn't look like there is going to be a happy outcome to this story:(
But until something more concrete turns up we can only hope and pray that she turns up safe and well.

Apparently there have been other suspicious incidents involving women being attacked/followed in Brunswick in recent months. This is scary stuff as my gf was followed by some fook in a car (just 200 metres from where Jil was last seen) one night a few months ago,she was totally freaked out at the time but we put it down to some complete w@nker just trying to scare her, which it could well have been.

I can't imagine how I'd react in this situation and have to say her husband is holding together remarkably well under the circumstances.

Has your gf spoken to the police in the last 2 days?

The police have requested that any girl who has been followed or approached in that area before contact them immediately.

She has.

really hope this girl is found alive, it is a strange one, the papers talking about the bag being planted. Her mother gave an interview and she is out of her mind with worry, very very very sad as the dad is not well also.

zweton

Ya really hope they find her,its very sad.

Police return to her home approx. an hour ago <snip>. I hope and pray that she is found safe and well.

It's just routine policework at this stage.
Hope she is found safe and well.

Mod Please no speculating or comparing cases.
And certainly no implying. Cards will be handed out.

If anyone has a problem with any post report it

killacat

Jumping the gun a little??? Not fair to speculate people. I fear the outcome tho..

Sala

I hope she turns up safe. From the media reports it appears there are a lot of people and resources being used to find her which is positive at least.

gjc

The australian police seem quite thorough .....press conferences even seem very very professional, they seem to answer journalists questions rather than the usual "no comment" or "cant comment", I really do feel they'll get the answers that this poor family deserves

jank

Hope this ends well but I don't think it will. The case itself is strange, something about it seems off. Hopefully it will be put to bed soon.

gjc

police have identified her from CCTV images that they have attained.....images to be released to the public at a later date

CCTV footage now released:

Bit of a long shot I know, but if anybody on here recognises anybody in the footage, can they call the police.

CCTV shows man in a blue hoodie spoke to missing ABC worker Jill Meagher moments before she disappeared

lavelle72

That's a decent image of him in that one (better than in the earlier police address) - http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2012/09/26/1226481/915437-cctv.jpg
<Snip> - NO speculation please</snip>

awful pity the manequins and door frame in the way

It's so sad, am praying for good news

Carlos_Ray

I really don't like the way the man in the hoodie keeps his left hand in his pocket the entire time he is talking to her. Surely one of the people in the video will come forward. There's at least half a dozen people that saw her in a 2 minute period.

allthedoyles

A busy street , but they all seem to be walking the same direction which may not help

gjc

if you look at the full length clip, blue hoodie man passes by the shop three times in total, first time alone from right to left, second time alone from left to right (his walking was quick) and last time in the company of jill going right to left of screen. All over a few minutes. So many unanswered questions....That hesitation and glance back is heart-breaking

goodie2shoes

yes the CCTV footage is worrying. hopefully somebody out there will recognize this guy. saying that he might be totally innocent.

hopefully she will turn up unharmed.
