What's your point. That they should not look for this poor young lady?
What are you talking about, I made my point in the first post of this thread, why do media report some but not others, that is the point you have clearly missed.
I am not on about if the police look for someone or not, I am referring to media.

I think the media pick up quite quickly on what might be a missing person, runaway , deliberate dissapearance and a highly suspicious dissapearance .

I do hope you are not implying I am of a dim persuasion. The local radio did say his name . As I was driving at the time I missed it so therefore I put random . Respectful or not, it was announced she did not know him. So that makes him a random. Showing respect goes both ways and you need to take some of your own advice
Random: adjective
> proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern: the random selection of numbers.
Informal.
> unknown, unidentified, or out of place: A couple of random guys showed up at the party.
> odd and unpredictable in an amusing way: my totally random life.
Random is not a noun. He is known therefore he's not unknown or unidentified.
He is not B]a[/B] random, because that doesn't make sense, and he's not a random person because he's known. He may have been a random one-night stand, and if so, why not say that?
So the local media didn't say he was a random, as the local media would presumably have a slightly better grasp of the English language than to use such a colloquialism on a professional broadcast. Your misuse of the word random is why your post is being picked up, and your response only compounds the initial assertion re: dimwit.
Well you are clearly not reading the whole thread.
I was speaking regarding the media, at the very top of the thread.
How many people disappear never to be seen again and leave behind a clue, it does not mean they are dead or alive, they could just be missing.
It's the police who alert the media in the hope of attracting informati8n. It is unusual for a woman to disappear on a strange street in the middle of the night after ditching her handbag in a park.

Pretty white girl, decent background - media will pick it up
Not so pretty/not caucasian/not so decent background -media will not pick it up
Do you actually have a life troll hunter?? Are you from glasgow ? Did you hear the local broadcast ? The word random is used to denote that she really did not know the guy from Adam . If a girl goes off with a guy she has never met before then he will be called a random. Yes his name was broadcast after the event. For all she knew he could have given her a different name . That is something that can be clarified if she is found safe and well.

Yup.
The vast majority of people who go missing do so of their own free will in circumstances that make this fairly obvious (they leave home taking money and personal items with them, for example), whereas most children reported missing have been taken out of agreed custody arrangements by a parent or another family member. Many adults who go missing have a history of doing so or of being AWOL from school, work or family commitments and there is no immediate cause for concern if they do not check in for a few days. In short, most people who go missing either turn up shortly thereafter or have clearly actively decided to absent themselves from certain aspects of their lives. There are sometimes mistakes from the authorities who consider a missing person not to be at risk or more rarely, consider an absent person who has not been in touch to be at risk when they are not (James Argent recently for example).
People who go missing at the end of a night out, who don't seem to have personal possessions with them, and who don't have a history of going missing, do get publicity - you see this regularly with men too so it's not just "missing white woman syndrome."
I'm following this case closely it's not looking good unfortunately with her handbag being dumped. Very sad Karen's family must be suffering immensley. It's almost fully light here near Glasgow so thorough searching should be starting imminently.

You did!! I saw it before it disappeared.
It doesn't sound good does it.
Why?

The police are expressing concern, they clearly don't think she has safely wandered off.
Is that why the post was removed?
It said she had wondered off?

So Sorry. I misread your post. 😔
Who Knows ?
What post was removed?
Which part of my post were you expressing confusion at?
ETA I see posts have been removed, Addisonians was linked via quoting.
Lets hope she is found well
Another article on Karen lets hope she's found safe and well
Hope she is found.
Hope this missing woman is found safe and well.
Sorry

Yup.
