Karen Buckley missing in Glasgow **new thread - Mod note in post 1, make sure you rea

G_R · 15-04-2015 07:43PM #1

Hi Folks,

All discussion on Karen's disappearance to be kept to this thread from now on. We've locked the last two due to them getting out of hand with people speculating on unsubstantiated information.

In this thread, we will not be allowing any discussion of speculation or unsubstantiated rumours. Facts only.

It should go with out saying, but no jokes, and nothing nasty will be tolerated, neither will comments on the appearance of anyone involved with the case in any way shape or form.

Please bare in mind that Karen's friends and family may read whatever you post here - with that in mind, we will be very strict in moderating this thread.

Cheers

The story of Karen's disappearance has shook me. Reading about her, she seemed so much like the typical happy go lucky student with her whole future ahead of her, just like so many students I see laughing and joking on the bus going to college each morning.

As a parent, I can only imagine how horrible this is for her family. My thoughts are with them.

bodhrandude · 15-04-2015 07:56PM

Having been from Glasgow originally I have a lot of Scottish Facebook friends so I shared the appeal for Karen, I hope she is found alive and well, gods knows what her family are going through, power on.

Rte leads 9pm news saying the hunt still goes on...

Lord Trollington · 15-04-2015 08:01PM

The fact that the search has gone to a random farm on the outskirts of Glasgow is not a good sign despite The Express being a rag and probably jumping the gun.

Laws are not harsh enough on the perpetrator for these type of crimes Hence why we see them so often in western society .

Spanish Eyes · 15-04-2015 08:02PM

Something is going on. I was reading about the discovery (I'm nearly sure it was the Indo), and it said something about the area being near where the suspect's mother lives.

All info gone now.

Thoughts are also with the police force who no doubt are doing an excellent job.

I've just deleted a load of posts speculating what happened to Karen. I would ask people not to post any information unless it has been widely reported by reputable news sources.

Edit: to be clear, at this time, there are no substantiated reports that a body has been found.

The Black Oil · 15-04-2015 08:09PM

The police have thrown every resource at this. Forensic, dogs, sub aqua, helicopter, ground searches with extra manpower and door to door enquiries. I think all we know so far, concretely, is:

She left the club, apparently not under duress
She went with someone (precisely what happened there is still somewhat speculative)
Her handbag was found
The whereabouts of her phone is unknown, or there's been no activity on it
Searches have been carried out, widened and possibly now narrowed to a specific area or areas
A man has been detained this evening

Whatever about members of the public, but the casual manner in which I saw some so called journalists tweeting earlier today was disgusting.

MathDebater · 15-04-2015 08:11PM

My thoughts and prayers are with the Buckley family. I cannot even begin to imagine their torment.

Close the thread because everything is speculation and all other information has been covered

I agree. These types of thread serve no purpose

Paramite Pie · 15-04-2015 08:16PM

Must be horrible for the family with all this public speculation on top of all else they have had to go through. If a body is found, I'd worry that it'd be known on twitter before the family themselves.

EDIT : I too believe it may be better to close the thread. Even if some of the media have no ethics, we should. It might be a public case but they appear to be past the point of Public Appeals. It's a traumatic event for the family and should be private. If the media can't help then they should wait until the police have more info to share.

JONJO THE MISER · 15-04-2015 08:17PM

Fire engines now at scene, interesting.

Menas · 15-04-2015 08:17PM

Yes, please close the thread. It serves no purpose and there is no real discussion possible until there is real news and charges etc.

Exactly. It's stupid to allow discussion when nothing is known for certain and at the same time delete or disallow 'speculation'.

If you don't want people speculating or linking to unconfirmed news reports then why have a thread at all?

There's nothing to bloody say and an open thread is an invitation for people to repeat rumors and speculate =/

moleyv · 15-04-2015 08:21PM

Sky news were saying that the farmer rented out buildings and was being asked if there were any bonfires recently.

Might be something to do with fire service being called in.

You can create a discussion in feedback, an appropriate place for your grievance, not this thread.

The police seem to have played this very well. The Express is an absolute rag too, waiting for the STV 10pm news here.

Why are you fear-mongering?

You have a higher probability of being killed by a meteorite than being abducted and killed.

There aren't though. Most people (male and female) are normal. This was an unusual isolated incident.

I would hate to live my life in fear.

I'm delighted that Boards is as moderated as it is. It ensures that we never reach the heights that happened on Reddit post-Boston bombing. If you don't know what I'm referring to, look it up. And be terrified about what potentially happens.

We don't know anything and discussing things without proper knowledge is opening Boards up to so much potential damage and people always forget that this is a relatively small privately owned enterprise, with people that will be held accountable. Not to mention that the family are getting enough of it from the absolute rags of "newspapers" out there, let us not add to it.

Totally! Its so important to stay in a group! Stay indoors until yours lift/taxi is there! So important, maybe I watch too much tv but you cannot trust anyone these days!
Have a friend you can trust with you also, I have one friend who I would trust to get me home if I had a few too many!
I have in the past brought friends home because they were in a state! Be on alert always regardless of a night out or not, there is crazies everywhere!

You're being very dramatic.

I dunno what to post in here, walking on egg shells.

Anyhow it's a tragedy for the family. My heart goes out them. One thing is though everyone in Ireland will rally round them regardless of the outcome.

Can't add anything else really again eggshells

Could be why no updates from media.

Should you not open a thread in feedback for that? It had nothing to do with the discussion at hand

You'd hear of people going missing and being found but it's really strange for her to lose her bag and just disappear.

Takes longer than 12 hours to fly to Scotland from Australia.
