Thanks, and to Kaykedi. There's another hostel with AC and a nicer resort (Guaguin) with private AC rooms on the way back to The Nest; I'd hope they'd have been searched by now, but who knows. Tourist high season is only just starting in Cambodia so there'd be likely to be empty rooms.
I...
Very unlikely, I'd say. Not just her phone but two bankcards too - I don't think she'd have deliberately let it leave her side. She'd discussed safety, it's a 'safe' bag (cross-body, zips) and she's wearing it religiously in all footage from the night. It'd be either lost or stolen.
I've...
Certainly possible, but Occam's Razor would suggest it's unlikely. First, they'd have to do it in view of the party, and second, why not just throw it in the water and remove any DNA/fingerprints?
Do we know at what time the bag was found?
I've found some of the people she was partying with...
I wonder if this is just something being lost in translation. The bars extend down to the shoreline, so saying "the bag/purse was found at the bar" could mean it was found on rocks directly outside, but still considered to be part of the bar's territory. Photos of Police Beach show the rocks...
It's a bit grim, but have all of the AC rooms at the hostel she was staying at, and on her way home, been checked? If she lost her bag and wanted to go to bed, she'd have needed to speak to someone to gain help/access to her room.
If the local tourist workers have a reputation for being sex...
The floral bag isn't a backpack. It's a small cross-body bag, much like this: UO Mini Red Cross Body Bag

Well spotted! How did you find that photo? I can't see it on the girl above's page?
EDIT: my apologies, just seen it on Amelia’s personal page from some time before. Thought it was from the night she went missing.
Here's a photo of the path down to The Nest. Not exactly streetlights, but not 'dense jungle' either. There are lights. I'm sure it'd be pretty common for people to walk or get motos between here and Police Beach.

Various reports say Amelia's father lives in Vietnam, and she flew to Cambodia with him. It seems they parted ways in PP and Amelia made some backpacker friends to travel on with, planning to return to her father at a later date. It's highly likely her father's on Koh Rong now so I would...
Honestly, I think it's unlikely. This is early in the Cambodian tourist season and locals who aren't in tourism wouldn't be up at 3am. If you look up Police Beach on Instagram, the pictures tagged there don't look particularly busy.
This photo actually seems to show Amelia, in the purple...
She'd have walked, it's not far and a nice walk along the beach. There's lots of accommodation along the way so plenty of other people would have been walking to the party. Transport back would either be walking with torches or light from buildings by the tracks or via a moto (motorbike taxi)...
If you actually look at the map, it's about 2.5km between Police Beach and Nest Beach Club hostel: along the beach, then on a large, wide road, then a smaller track to the right. It's a 1/2hr walk or less for a young, fit person. She could have decided to go cross-country through dense...
Thanks for answering so quickly and sharing your views. I agree the published headline does come across as a statement rather than the view of your family member, which gives it undue finality. I agree it leaves you open to false ransoms too.
Do you think the initial texters were legitimate?
Hi Lauren, sorry to hear about your disagreement with your family members; it must be a very difficult and upsetting time for you. You say Kathy Catney's lying - which parts of the article are untrue, in your opinion? Do you know any more about the ransom mentioned and if it was paid?
I think the previous poster was referring to Sarah Lewis, who recently went missing in a Fiat 500 hire car in Ibiza. Sadly, that seems to be a suicide: Tragic End to Search as Body of Missing Canadian Sarah Lewis is Found in San José Countryside | The Ibizan

She was supposedly wearing Vans and IMO it’s common for young women to wear trainers/flats to clubs, especially if the weather is bad and/or they’re tall, as Libby is
His wide works there too yet her English is sufficiently poor that she asked a neighbour to call the landlord about a broken fence panel. If PR’s English was good, you’d expect he’d have called.
Missing Libby updates as man, 24, arrested on suspicion of abduction
This article states she was last seen at 12.09 - do we know by whom? Just thinking if it’s CCTV of her in PR’s car, surely they would have arrested him sooner?
