Has there been any update in the Real World news?  The most recent I could Bing up was from 8/4.  (Google's blocked here)

 

It seems as if the Finnair information came from some Thai poster?

 

A user, identifying themselves as Pol Rithikrai, who works for Thai immigration confirmed Simon had boarded Flight no. AY142 on July 26 at 05:46 am. But despite the crucial update, Simon's whereabouts in Finland are still unknown.

 

The article is dated 8/6, but the mother's update is dated 2 days earlier.  Maybe someone can find more recent info that I can't open from China?

Edit:  Yeah, I know it's the Mirror.  I'm hoping someone can set me on the straight and narrow...

In what way is the poster fake ?

1. His height is reported in feet and inches. The UK went metric in 1965 and the police, being an official public body would use centimeters.

 

2. The post refers to the 'British Police'. There is no such entity. The police in England Wales are divided into regional divisions. If the South Yorkshire Police really produce this poster then that is how they would refer to themselves as.

 

3. In yesterday's post it was reported that: 'South Yorkshire police have confirmed that Simon’s case has been reported, though they have not launched a missing persons appeal'. So why would they produce a poster?

 

I therefor conclude the South Yorkshire Police did not produce this poster. It's a fake.

Thank you Moonlover ....   for a common sense approach and understanding of fake docs .... 

he's at the disco in Helsinki ....

 

The poster comes from this site maybe?

why the heck doesn't he call his sister at home                ?   

I wonder how much money "The Sun" are paying the family for this story? Or is it just me?

Who says it was him who boarded the plane. He looks a lot like many a Finnish young man. Perhaps someone borrowed his identity to fly back. With a little help from an IO who just happens to confirm he flew out.

I gotta laugh at all the AI bots here who try to make out they really care because of the emoji they give. 

So hilarious !!

as if anyone here cares what they say ...

I wonder if The Sun planned the guy's disappearance, and then hired him to go missing.

Did you notice that he also left his dog?

That is one heck of a beautiful dog.

Who does things like leave a dog and go missing?

 

The dog answers to:  "Chops"

Why would you think the poster is fake? It seems likely it was made by his friend or his family, and they put the information in, so it's not quite up to official standards ie metric or Imperial. Also, if it was made by a friend or family member when they say to contact British police, they might mean to contact British, not try and contact Thai police.

i just wonder what stupid replies will this page will have?! OOOHHHH i know alot 555555555555555555

The airline obviously know if he was on the flight, as the crew have to know who is on the plane, and to say they won't release that info is inexcusable, IMO.

Agreed. They should at least release this info to police and the family. Note to self: avoid Finnair.

Interesting, another British poster when I said this corrected me EXTENSIVELY and said feet and inches are ONLY used now.

One would think that confirming he got on and off the flight ould be a remarkably straightforward process. Thia police would have an image of him captured as he passed through immigration. The Finns, likewise will have records if he entered. 

 

So where TF is he?
