Voice recordings to be used as strategy in search of missing Irish teen

NILAI (Bernama): Voice recordings of close family members of missing Irish teenager Nora Anne Quoirin will be used as strategy to lure her out of the thick forest surrounding a resort in Pantai here where she is believed to have gone missing since Aug 4.

Nilai district police chief Supt Mohd Nor Marzukee Besar said the voice recordings, to be amplified via megaphones, would include her nickname fondly used by family members.

The SAR team, headed by the Senoi Praaq Unit, decided on this approach as the latest strategy to locate the 15-year-old, who went missing from her room, while vacationing with her family at the Dusun Resort.

"Our public relations officer will be meeting the victim's family today and decide on whom among them were closest to her and for their voices to be used.

"Besides this approach, rescuers will be calling out her name throughout the search... all these could help in ‘jolting’ her into attention, ” he told the media here on Thursday (Aug 8).

Suot Mohd Nor also urged those who claimed to have encountered Nora Anne playing by the river near the deer pen to come forward and share their information with the police.

"The search yesterday included the river and deer pen area where she was said to be seen. We searched the area but there was nothing to indicate she was there. However, we will be there again today for a closer search, ” he said.

Police also welcomed any information by the public that could help the case, including alternative methods based on their respective faith, in a bid to locate the teenager.

The SAR efforts from Thursday will also use more sophisticated aerial search equipment, including drones.

Nora Anne arrived at the resort with her parents from London on Aug 3 for a two-week vacation, before she was reported missing the next day at 8am. - Bernama
