what would be an example of a drink spiking going right?


theboyleastlikelyto  said about 3 years ago:

when someone doesnt die??


kandos  said about 3 years ago:

depends on whether you want to be charged with rape or not.


CrakTheBarbarian  said about 3 years ago:

i was looking at it from her point of view.


kandos  said about 3 years ago:

i was looking at it from her point of view.

of course.

it's far better to be drugged and raped than killed.


losgauchos  said about 3 years ago:

i was in dubrovnik two years ago, it is a pretty touristed and safe town, a bit boring even. club feugo was the only nightclub from memory, it was a bit of a muzza bar. one thing i do remember is the massive cliff drops from the side of the main road, you could easily go over the edge if intoxicated.

Is she dead? She's dead, isn't she? I keep thinking of Hostel for some reason.


de.foxus  said about 3 years ago:

they've found a body, but they think it's decomposed too much to be her.


LoadMyRig  said about 3 years ago:

she's so dead.

or sold into sex slavery.

god i feel for her family.


kandos  said about 3 years ago:

there's been some story that the son of the hostel owners attempted to post a passport back to australia the day before she went missing.

if true, it bears the hallmarks of enslavement.


tadatadatada  said about 3 years ago:

why?


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

Is it just because she's overseas that it's a news story?

Because people go missing every day right here.


bungle  said about 3 years ago:

I saw mutual friends involved in the facebook plea for information before it became a news story, it's really sad.


sister  said about 3 years ago:

i keep thinking of porn. poor girl. poor parents.


kandos  said about 3 years ago:

why?

the first thing you do when you sell someone into slavery is take their passport and any other identity documents.

then you can alter their passport and sell it on the black market.

there is unlikely to be a market for australian passports in europe.

there is a market for australian passports here.


tadatadatada  said about 3 years ago:

ah ok. but i figured if you have kidnapped someone, the last thing you want to do is go to a post office waving around a passport. unless the dude stole it independently of the disappearance, in which case, he's an unlucky idiot


blake3030  said about 3 years ago:

The sex slavery thing really is the only scenario in which she could still be alive, isn't it? I'm struggling to think of any others.


CrakTheBarbarian  said about 3 years ago:

maybe the russian girl has something to do with it...


blake3030  said about 3 years ago:

Is it just because she's overseas that it's a news story?

I'd say so.

People do go missing in Australia every day, but the frequency of Australian backpackers going missing overseas is far lower. Therefore, I guess they feel it's more newsworthy.

Surprisingly it's not very bolty for something written by bolt.

Dudes act like prats whenever a young, mildly attractive girl from Australia gets in trouble overseas.


djbollocks  said about 3 years ago:

I actually find myself agreeing with a lot of the things that Bolt says in that article.
The whole public reaction to this case has been way over the top.


blake3030  said about 3 years ago:

Yeah, that bolt article wasn't bad.


tadatadatada  said about 3 years ago:

we must be in the end-times


Lucydiamond  said about 3 years ago:

Me too. There's a first time for everything, I guess. In saying that, I don't read what he writes that often as he makes me stabby.


lokihanns  said about 3 years ago:

When a global warming denier is labelling you a xenophobe you know that you've got problems.


losgauchos  said about 3 years ago:

So have they worked out how she died yet?


Barman  said about 3 years ago:

Killed By Death



losgauchos  said about 3 years ago:

Show on about her dissapearence now. The media reckon it was two Croatian dudes posing as police who abducted and killed her near Dubrovnick. Apparantly these dudes tried to do it other times.


Wonsly  said about 3 years ago:

what channel and state r u in?


losgauchos  said about 3 years ago:

It was on channel 7 at 7pm in Victoria.


Wonsly  said about 2 years ago:

Q?:
what is this i read about her family still looking for her remains?
i thought they found her body in the sea?


jimmy hutspah  said about 2 years ago:

they are trying to find her clothes, camera and bag.


bungle  said about 2 years ago:

as well as like, her jaw and part of her foot or something. pretty gruesome.


saucyjack  said about 2 years ago:

According to The Age

The Melbourne student's remains were recovered with many body parts missing three weeks after she vanished from a Dubrovnik nightclub last September.

...

Mr Lapthorne was convinced his daughter was murdered and has publicly accused Dubrovnik police of frustrating the investigation.

He said he wanted to find the rest of his daughter's body, of which less than half was brought home to Australia.


losgauchos  said about 2 years ago:

This case is intreging - sounds like a cover up is going on with Dubrovnik police involved in the murder.


ellipsis93  said about 1 year ago:

Have you ever seen the movie ''Hostel'' by Eli Roth?

That movie was fictional at the time, but if you hear what her autopsy showed; acid burns on her face, missing fingers, whipmarks etc..

Watch ''Hostel'' and you'll understand.
