PRESS RELEASE:
FAMILY SUSPECT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN MISSING SCHOOLGIRL CASE
The family of missing 15-year old London schoolgirl, Nóra Quoirin, appealed today for help in locating her. Nóra, who has special needs, is the daughter of an Irish-French couple.
The family have been living in London for around 20 years. Nóra disappeared while on a holiday with her family at The Dusan resort in a nature reserve near Seremban, 63 km south of Kuala Lumper, Malaysia. Her father raised the alarm when he discovered her missing from her bedroom at 8 am local time on Sunday, 4 August. Her window had been opened.
Aisling Agnew, the girl’s aunt, speaking in Belfast today said,
“Nóra’s parents and relatives in Ireland and France are distraught by her disappearance. Nóra is a child with special needs and has learning and developmental disabilities which make her especially vulnerable and we fear for her safety.
“Nóra would not know how to get help and would never leave her family voluntarily. We now consider this a criminal matter. We are appealing to everyone to assist the local police in any way they can and to pass on any information that would help locate our beloved Nóra without delay.”
The family has set up an email address for information leading to her safe return:
findnoraq@gmail.com. The Lucie Blackman Trust, a British charity supporting people during a crisis overseas, is supporting the family and providing a hotline and email address for information. People can remain anonymous and can call 448000988485 or email

The charity’s Chief Executive, Matthew Searle MBE, spoke of the urgency in this case;
“This is a very vulnerable young girl missing in a remote location. She has been missing for over 24 hours now and it is imperative that every resource available is deployed to search for her. It is possible she has been seen or taken in by somebody and is unable to communicate, so we urge everyone who can to share our appeal poster and social media appeals. Sadly it is also possible that Nóra has been the victim of serious crime – we urge anyone with any information to come forward.”
