SPAIN - Daniel, 46, & Liam Poole, 22, British tourists, Estepona, Malaga, 1 Apr 2019

Sh
You know you can never encourage people to believe what you think is true or not ......There is a lot of family tension suggested on here so who knows what has happened....half family say one thing ....other half suggesting its false ???? Maybe it's best to await concrete information.
what a great suggestion!
 
Thanks, just watched it, @Laurynpoole I hope there is some positives in this programme in that it makes someone come forward, but I totally see why you are upset about this, they have been selective in what information has been given.
I didn’t actually watch it however I got enough insight/context from the news article this morning and that was enough for me. Let’s hope people don’t lose hope and that people want to help find these 2 criminals like they’ve been portrayed xx
 
With little evidence to make statements that Liam and Danny are dead, I am VERY disappointed in The Times in using this as one of their headlines in such a devastating time for our family.

Honestly Lauryn, if I were in your shoes I would send the editor a strong worded letter. To present the opinion of one family member as fact in the headline is just completely unacceptable! That's tabloid clickbait level. I would be very disappointed too, and very angry. jmo

Hey Lauryn,
I'm not around on here as often recently but I always check in on this thread to see if there's any new information. Today's articles are very disappointing but at least it's still publicity, even if it's not great publicity, that's the only positive way to look at it IMO.
I am always shocked at how mature you are in handling this situation and all the struggles that come with it. I've said it before but you are a very, very brave young woman and we are all so proud of you on here and so glad that you still pop in and answer questions and give us updates.
I really do hope your dad and brother come home safe and sound and I'm so sorry certain people around you seem so content in causing chaos and drama. You are amazing for having the strength to deal with it all.

The news is endorsed by Liam's mother, not just his nan and Daniels brother. Why would she risk their lives if the contents of the article are untrue?

I agree and think a letter would go a long way in this instance.

Continuing to share in the hope and love here. The day will come...

Hello MrsJonesjo lovely to meet you!
Thank you for messaging.
now like I have clarified above if you’d like to take the time above I have clarified the truth of the matter and the reasoning for it being dangerous.
if you need me to repeat anything or break it down please let me know.

the facts that aren’t true is about any criminal convictions being relevant to the case, my dad being a gangster related to some famous gang years ago, and the way it was portrayed in the media thank you for asking :)
 
Thank you all for the lovely messages it would take me some time to go through everyone but thank you all again for the support, suggestions and helpful questions. I am grateful for you all *advertiser censored*

Stay strong girl, we're all pulling for you and the justice your father and brother deserve <3

It's been said before by someone else on this thread but I just wanted to bring it up again- it is truly bizarre how many users joined around April-June and their only few posts are on this thread. And seem to always have arguments against the general consensus. I've never once seen that on the many many threads I have followed here. Sorry you're having to deal with that on top of everything else Lauryn, just ignore and they'll hopefully go away.
 
I have a theory about those accounts : I think it's because, on the beginning, there were very few articles about the case which means the forum was actually easy to stumble upon to via Google. I mean Lauryn and her uncle found it and since they interacted with us pretty early on, I'm assuming the word got spread pretty quickly about this thread which is why a lot of accounts were created. I think those people were brought here because they either googled the Poole name or follow Lauryn or another member of her family on social media. I'm guessing this case is not "famous" enough that there are other places in the internet where people can slander these particular victims anonymously. My point is, those are probably not random internet trolls, they all either know the victims or know someone who knows them. I hope that made some sort of sense

I couldn’t have put it better myself. That I think is 100% the truth. Facebook profiles, evidently fake, were made too, to do the same on sussex police news reports etc.
 
I 100% agree with you Lauryn, I just wonder why a MOTHER would do such a thing. For the people wondering why I follow this case; I actually care, I live just up the road from Marbella and this story struck me. I would be lying if I said that some of the behaviour around the case hadn't piqued my interest. I'm no angel, I'm sure I have gone through times where this could have been me, or something similar, but it was incredibly obvious from the start that these men were not on 'holiday'. I'm also not 100% convinced that I would tell my sister everything that I would tell my mum. Just my opinion but that's what the internet is about.
