This case is so troubling, so mysterious and so absolutely heartbreaking. The two articles below discuss Nora's challenges. I absolutely do not buy into that she was abducted but have tried to convince myself how she could have been but I cannot. I do not believe Nora would have wanted to nor could have gone through an open window or would have left the home she and her parents were renting on her own volition or choice just as much as I do not believe an abductor could have made his or her way up that spiral stair case and brought Nora down past the parents.
I do know anything is possible but I just do not see any of these as being possibilities and honestly at this point, I am starting to wonder if the "Genie" did take her because at this point, imo, that possibility almost makes the most sense. Strange things happen. I am not at all saying I am a woo woo type thinker but really.....abduction and her leaving on her own accord I just do not see as possibilities and I am on the fence 50-50...so right now I am considering a Genie because this case is so absolutely confusing. Watching her mother speak absolutely breaks my heart, knowing she is "somewhere out there without her family" breaks my heart for her.
Grandfather of missing Nora Quoirin says 'After an 18-hour flight she would be sleeping, not go for a stroll'
‘This is a young girl with a mild handicap who is rather timid, reserved. She is someone very fearful,’ Sylvain said.
London teen missing in Malaysia isn't independent and has difficulty walking
"But her parents, Irish Meabh Quoirin and her French husband Sebastien, said that
Nora Anne was born with holoprosencephaly, a malformation that causes her to have a smaller brain and led to learning and physical disabilities.
"All her life she has spent a lot of time in hospital. When she was born, she needed operations to help her (breathe). She has specialists that monitor her growth, her physical abilities and her strength, and especially her mental capacity."
"She is not like other teenagers. She is not independent and does not go anywhere alone," they said. "Nora likes to walk with her family, but her balance is limited and she struggles with coordination. She has been to Asia, and many European countries before, and has never wandered off or got lost."
Other challenges she faced included having limited verbal communication, not being able to write more than a few words, inability to grasp anything conceptual such as mathematics or managing money and unable to make or receive phone calls independently, they said. Nora can wash and dress herself but she cannot manage buttons and struggles to wash her hair, they said.
The parents described Nora as a "fun, funny and extremely loving" girl but who is also sensitive, shy and anxious outside the family.
"With her family, she is very affectionate. Family is her whole world and she loves to play games, like Cat Bingo, with us. She likes to tell us silly jokes and wear clever, colourful T-shirts," they said. "Every night, her special time is for cuddles and a nighttime story with her Mum. And she was extremely excited about the family holiday in Malaysia."
