WHILE the disappearance of Nora Quoirin has been classified as a missing person’s report, police said they are also looking into other possibilities of what could have happened to the teenager, including abduction.

Negri Sembilan deputy police chief Che Zakaria Othman told the media that the classification of “missing person” was merely that, the classification of the report.

“It does not mean we are not looking at other possibilities as well,” he said.

“We are looking at every angle and my men are everywhere. Not just at the resort, but also on the streets.

“We are not ruling out any possibilities but at the moment, there is no evidence of abduction.”

Che Zakaria was responding to foreign media reports earlier that Quoirin’s family was upset with police for not treating the matter as an abduction.

Another police source told The Malaysian Insight that the authorities have also sought the help of an Orang Asli tribal chief and religious individuals to help find the teenager.

Locals at the Jeram Toi rainforest, where the teenager disappeared, said the area is haunted, although there was also no evidence of this.

Quoirin arrived in Malaysia with her family on Saturday for a two-week trip.

The family of five checked into The Dusun in Seremban at 7am on Saturday. Police received a missing person’s report at 11am the next day.

The family is still in the resort, which has been turned into an operations centre. No one is allowed in.

There were 214 personnel who took part in the rescue mission today, including drones and two K9 dogs from the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman.

The search and rescue mission entered its fourth day today, covering 25 acres. The efforts have so far drawn a blank. – August 7, 2019.
