British Bella May Culley 18, Pattaya Thailand 10th May

[tlorik]

Can I just say I'm so glad someone was brave enough to ask "which Georgia?" My niece lives in Cleveland Georgia US and I was VERY confused for a moment as to how this young lady went from Thailand to GA so quickly!! LOL!
I know her parents are so grateful she's not lost or worse, but I would be so mad as a mom! Did she think about consequences at all?

I'm being very judgemental, but Mom appears to be very much in synch with her social media, such as posing in similar outfits and some very photoshopped images.

Mom cannot be blind to the drug and sex stuff on her 18 year olds social media posts.

I too noticed that.

One wonders whether the proceeds of the drug consignment were expected to be payday for the whole family rather than just Bella. It would be interesting to know what the economic situation of the parents and wider family is.

Hmm. Well something was paying for those outfits, hair and makeup that her mother had going on.

I was having those thoughts, too. I was not really thinking that the former Soviet country of Georgia even had plane flights to Thailand.

There might be age limits on OF for a teen of 18, but not for mom.

Otherwise, OF seems like the next career step for Bella, before the drug arrest. Oh yeah, I forgot. She was going to be a nurse.

I wonder if she actually had a place at university to study nursing or this ambition was added by her family after her arrest

Teesside University offers a wide range of nursing-related degree courses so presumably she could have studied there and continued living at home.

My impression so far is that she would only qualify as some sort of care assistant, but not a truly registered or licensed nurse training. At this point, it's unlikely she will ever be able to be in any course that deals with distribution of medications. (At least I hope she would be disqualified).

That is what I thought too. A care assistant or nursery nurse.

Family fears for Brit, 18, charged with drug smuggling in Georgia

Bella May's grandfather William Culley, 80, sobbed as he told the Mail how distraught family members remained not knowing how the youngster came to be in Georgia saddled with drugs

www.dailymail.co.uk

Snipped: The nursing student, who has been preliminarily detained for two months as investigations continue, is currently 'terrified and confused', according to the lawyer
2 months?
This 18yr old had way to much freedom, way to much $ to do what she wanted and hooked up with really bad guys. They took advantage of her but I don't think she is dumb enough to NOT know what she was doing. IMO

 

[whitelilac]

^ terrified yes, but confused?? Confused about what?
It's not confusing to smuggle drugs in your suitcase on an airline and get caught.

 

[swanniee11]

IMO, someone is lying. The mom said ( first post on this thread) she last heard from her on 5/3. We're talking 11 days, the above article says 2 months Who's watching who?

That's how long they are keeping her after her arrest a week ago while charges are pending etc. It doesn't mean she's already been kept for 2 months.

She was still posting on social media in early May.

Frankly, I suspect that if this was a white male, there would also be a lot less interest in the case, so race isn't really a factor here in the way that the media is covering it. What is driving the media interest is that the person involved is a fairly attractive, blondish young female with a penchant for plastering the internet with half naked photos of herself.

Also this started as a missing persons case - that’s what first got it media attention.

Media attention for the person charged is often not a good thing in these drug smuggling cases - it often leads to a tougher sentence as they want it to be seen as a deterrent

A very good find by The Sun. She is shown as a director of two companies -

M Culley Window Repairs Ltd, incorporated on 31 March 2025, she being the only director. Registered office address at a residential address in Billingham.

See: M CULLEY WINDOW REPAIRS LTD overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK

Lujamen Limited, incorporated on 24 September 2024 with a registered office address in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was incorporated by a Chinese national and she was appointed a director on the same date.

See: LUJAMEN LIMITED overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK

The same Chinese national seems to have incorporated 4 companies in the UK in the past year or so, each with a sole director. His claimed address appears to be fictitious.
