SEREMBAN, Aug 8 — As the search for missing Irish teenager with specials needs, Nora Anne Quoirin, 15, enters day five, the police are now using a voice recording of her mother Meabh Quoirin in hopes of coaxing her daughter to come towards the search team as the police said she could be hiding in fear.
Negri Sembilan Police Chief Datuk Mohamad Mat Yusof said each team from the search and rescue operation has been equipped with a bullhorn, while some are even using their phones to play the recording in the jungle.
“We’ve equipped each team with a hailer and they started using it this morning with the mum’s voice,” he confirmed at a press conference at the Pantai police station here.
Meanwhile, Negeri Sembilan deputy police chief SAC Che Zakaria Othman said the words expressed in the recording are: "Nora darling, I love you... mum is here. Mum is here, Nora darling, my love.
He said in the voice recording, Meabh sounds persuasive like how she usually talks to calm down Nora Anne.
Police have so far recorded the statements of 20 individuals to facilitate investigations.
Nora Anne arrived in Negri Sembilan with her parents and two other siblings on Saturday, August 4 for a two-week holiday at The Dusun, before she was found missing by her family at 8am the following day.
A window in the resort, which can only be opened from the inside, was seen left open.
Yesterday, Malay Mail spoke to several local villagers from the Orang Asli community who said the surrounding jungle is their “playground” since they were born here and they know the place well.
They claimed to have joined the police in their search and re convinced Nora Anne is no longer around the area, urging the police to widen the area of investigation.

One of the locals said there were two cases of missing persons prior to this, around the resort, and with the help of the locals, they managed to find both within 24 hours.
Another local who wished to remain anonymous said if Nora Anne had wandered off, she wouldn’t have gone too deep into the jungle as the hilly terrain would have served as a deterrent.
Another said the lax security at the resort could mean an unknown individual was in the area.
He pointed out that there were no security guards at The Dusun or proper CCTVs to keep an eye on the surroundings, with the property easy to exit even if the main gate was locked.
Police, however insisted that Nora Anne is still within the jungle vicinity despite claims by the Orang Asli community that she was no longer in the surrounding area.
Investigators said they have not obtained any other information or leads that suggest other possibilities.
