Karen Buckley, from Mourneabbey, was last seen by her friends at around 1am on Sunday in Sanctuary nite club on Dumbarton Road during a night out in the Scottish city where she had been studying for the past two months. She told friends she was going to the toilet but never returned. She did not collect her jacket from the club’s cloakroom and her phone battery went dead at 11.30am Sunday morning. Karen is attending Glasgow Caledonian University, where she is studying occupational therapy. She lives with three other students, believed to be also from Cork, in a flat in the city. She was reported missing when she failed to text or call them which family and friends say is highly unusual. Scottish police said the student was seen on CCTV outside the club speaking to a man who was not recognised by her friends and they are specifically looking for him to come forward.
Police in Glasgow search an area looking for Karen. ■ Ann Murphy and Audrey Ellard Walsh He was wearing a white shirt and is described as stocky. There were some reports today that police were also looking for a second man. Her parents have travelled to Glasgow and her brother Kieran, who is in Australia, said: “All people can do is share the Facebook page and hope it reaches the people who met her or saw her and they have vital information that can be forwarded to the police.” Her best friend, Claire Bowen, said: “She started her masters in occupational therapy in January. She had been working as a nurse in Essex up until then.” ■ See page 3.
