UK UK - Catrin Maguire, 22, Holyhead, N Wales, may be in Bangor, 15 Nov 2021

[MsMiniSleuth]

I watched the tv show and imo she got into a car in the rspb cafe carpark. The bag she was carrying suggests to me that she planned to meet someone - I'm not convinced if she is alive or not though. Jmo, moo.

Then why did she buy a return ticket to Bangor? That's what got me.

Yes, that's a strange thing to do if planning on leaving with someone. Maybe she just arranged to meet to hand over the bag, and was offered a lift back to the station on time for her train. Things went awry from then. Jmo.

Hmm, I dunno. Couldn't she have gone over the cliff? No reason to suspect a car, meeting someone, just one likely possibility.

Have you watched the program? If so, did you see the bit about the dogs not finding her scent past the carpark?
I think she would've been found if she'd gone over the cliff.
Jmo.

not finding her scent beyond there - yes, that's what I mean. Look how many end up in coastal waters and are never found.

The police worked on the basis that this was probably a suicide, even though Catrin had no history of depression or mental health issues.

I don't think the police sprang into action when she was reported missing.

I always thought this one would get loads of media coverage, but it fizzled out really quickly. Such a shame.

We're still here, documenting any developments. At least that's something. Catrin hasn't been forgotten.

A father whose daughter went missing three years ago has blasted a North Wales Police investigation into her disappearance and claims another person will have to disappear before lessons are learned. Gerry Maguire, whose daughter Catrin went missing from Holyhead on November 15, 2021, described engaging with the police on his daughter's disappearance like “trying to get blood out of a stone".

Speaking to S4C’s current affairs programmeY Byd ar Bedwar ahead of the three year anniversary of his daughter’s disappearance next month, Mr Maguire said police were "very difficult to deal with".

[...]

"We had no point of contact, what they wanted us to do was just phone 101 for updates.” The family spoke to around 14 different police officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) during the investigation, which the family said added to their distress.

He said: “I kept having to explain the same thing to different officers every time, because there was no communication between officers.” On the fourth day of Catrin’s disappearance, Gerry said he received a phone call from an officer he had never met before to explain the police’s hypothesis was that Catrin is deceased and had died by suicide.

I don't think the police sprang into action when she was reported missing.

I am local to this area (not North Walian or Welsh myself but just here for work) and I don't have enough words in any language to describe how useless the local police are. They could not care less about the safety of women and last May we had an election to decide on a new police commissioner as any crime against women ends up with just a fine or community service. Everybody in this area is absolutely obsessed about not bringing any bad reputation to North Wales so local police and sinister Bangor University (Catrin, prior to her dissapearance, was on the last year of her degree, with plans to take a master's degree in Birmingham Newman University afterwards) have both gone the extra mile to make sure this case goes nowhere. I cannot say any more than that. This coming Friday marks the third anniversary of Catrin's disappearance; her parents do not give up the search for her but it breaks my heart so few of us are supporting them through this ordeal.
