POLICE will play the recorded voice of Nora Anne Quoirin’s mother to try to draw out the teenager who has been missing for five days in the Jeram Toi rainforest in Negri Sembilan.

The search and rescue team will employ the tactic use after combing the jungle for the 15-year-old to no avail.

Police are hoping that the voice of her mother will draw out the teenager with special needs.

Nilai district police chief Mohd Nor Marzukee Besar told the media it was the Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIGP) Mazlan Mansor’s idea.

“We were instructed by the DIGP to interview the parents and we are going to use the mother’s voice to reach out to her. 

“We are going to record the mother’s voice calling out to Nora using words and names that the teenager recognises.

“We believe when she hears her mother’s voice she will be drawn to it,” said Nor.

He said the cops will ask the family to record their voices when they are ready.

“We can’t push them. We need to be sensitive too. We will ask the family and I am sure they will cooperate. We will use a loud hailer to call to her using the voice of her mother or her siblings.”

Meanwhile, Marzukee said the number of personnel looking for the girl had increased to 247.

The search and rescue team is led by the 3rd battalion of the Senoi Praaq elite team. 

Also on the team are personnel from the Fire and Rescue Department, D9 serious crime unit, the K9 unit from the Negri Sembilan police headquarters and Rela.

Yesterday 214 rescuers in rotating shifts took part in the search.

Marzukee said police believed Quoirin was still in the area and has not left Kampung Pantai in Seremban.

On Sunday, Quoirin disappeared from The Dusun, a tropical rainforest resort in Seremban, 63km south of Kuala Lumpur. She had arrived in Malaysia the day before with her family on  for a two-week trip.

She was sleeping with her 12-year-old sister and eight-year-old brother on the night she went missing. 

Her family said the case should be treated as an abduction but police said there was no evidence to support that.

Local folk who spoke to The Malaysian Insight also said it was unlikely that the girl was abducted. – August 8, 2019.
