NBI offers P200K for info on missing British woman


GMANews.TV 10/08/2010

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is offering a P200,000 reward for any information on the whereabouts of British woman who has been missing for almost a month now, its spokesperson said Friday.

NBI spokesperson Cecilio Zamora said that friends and relatives of Carole Day, the Hong Kong-based British entrepreneur who has been missing since September 12, raised the amount as reward for any information on her whereabouts.

"Sa mga kaibigan at kamag-anak manggagaling ang pabuya. Ang hindi lang malinaw sa akin ay kung na-turnover na 'yung pera sa aming Manila office," he said in a phone interview on Friday.

(The reward will come from her friends and relatives. What's not clear to me is if the money has already been turned over to our Manila office.)

Zamora added that NBI has no updates yet on Day's case as of posting time. He, however, maintained that the agency has already ruled out kidnapping as an angle since no ransom demands have been received.

"Wala pang bagong anggulo. Kailangan talaga ng bagong impormasyon," he said. (We have no new angle. We really need new information.)

The Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post reported early last month that Day went missing after checking in at a hotel in Manila for a business trip. She has been completely out of contact since September 12, according to the report.

Local immigration officials already said that based on their records, Day never left the Philippines since the day she was reported missing.

A Facebook page  has already been put up by Day's son, Jai Day, to gather information on her mother's whereabouts. Jai has already flown to Manila to search for his mother, and said that all agencies involved are "giving 100%" cooperation to solve the case.

In a Sept. 28 interview by Julius Segovia of GMANews, Day's son Jai said that based own his own knowledge, his mother arrived in the country on Sept. 10. She was supposed to have returned to Hong Kong on Sept. 15, but had not gone back since.

According to the GMA News report, Day had checked into the Corporate Inn in Manila upon arrival. Hotel officials said the British woman had stayed for just nearly two days. On the morning of Sept. 12, she had called for a taxi and was heard to be going to Makati.

According to Jai's Facebook page, her mother was "last seen at the LRI Design Studio by her business partner at 9:30 a.m. on the 12th of September." The business partner, who was not identified, said Day was planning to make a trip to Cebu and Thailand.

Jai said his mother has not contacted him or any relative or friend that he knows of since Sept. 12, but at first he merely assumed that "she was busy."

Day, a resident of Hong Kong for the past 20 years, is said to be familiar with the Philippines as she visits the country "several times a month because of her furniture and interior décor business," according to the GMA News report

NBI launches search for missing British woman


Philippine Daily Inquirer 10/12/2010

MANILA, Philippines–The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has directed the heads of its regional offices to deploy their agents to look for a British national who has been missing for a month.

Cecilio Zamora Jr., NBI spokesman, said relatives and friends of Carole Day had put up a P200,000 reward for any information that would lead authorities to her whereabouts.

"Until now, we have yet to receive any vital information about Carole Day that's why we are asking the help of the public to locate her," Zamora said.

Bloodstains

A senior NBI official who asked not to be named for lack of authority to talk to media said bureau agents were conducting DNA testing on bloodstains found from the LRI Design Studio in Makati City.

Based on reports, Day, 56, was last seen alive on the morning of Sept. 12 when she showed up for a meeting with her Dutch business partners at the studio.

"Those traces of blood may help us determine if she was attacked prior to her disappearance," the official told the Inquirer.

NBI agents noticed the bloodstains when they examined the area, he said.

Frequent visitor

A frequent visitor to the Philippines, Day was supposed to fly to Phuket, Thailand, from Cebu on the day she disappeared.

She was scheduled to fly back to Hong Kong three days later but Bureau of Immigration records showed that she had yet to leave the country.

According to the British Embassy, the victim is a resident of Hong Kong.

Day's relatives have created an account in the popular social networking site Facebook to seek the public's help in locating her.

Anyone who can provide information about Day may contact the NBI at 524-3283 or 0921-4890285.

Is nu al een maand spoorloos, dat ziet er niet goed uit. Als men deze vrouw had ontvoerd had men allang losgeld gevraagd lijkt me. Het is te hopen dat deze vrouw wordt gevonden, goed dat de NBI nu actie onderneemt, hoop niet dat het te laat is. 

[opinie]

Als ze gewoon op straat overvallen was, hadden ze haar al gevonden.

Blijkbaar is ze het slachtoffer van iemand geworden die toegang tot een vervoermiddel had en haar lijk ergens gedumpt heeft.

Tenzij ze bewust is ondergedoken, zal het geen "search & rescue" zijn maar een "search & recover"-aktie.

UK seeks help in locating missing expat


GMANews.tv 11/09/2010

The United Kingdom's embassy in Manila appealed to Filipinos on Tuesday to help locate a British expatriate who has been missing since September.

Carole Day, mother of two and long-term British expatriate based in Hong Kong, was last seen at a business trip to the Philippines in September.

"Any details, not matter how seemingly trivial, will be greatly appreciated. We would be very grateful if you could spread the news and help us do everything we can to find her," her son Jai Day implored in an article posted Tuesday afternoon on the UK Embassy website.

Jai is offering a P200,000 reward for information leading to Carole's return. He can be contacted at:

Hong Kong: (+852)9633-3071
Philippines: (+63)916-4402851
Email: jaicool@hotmail.com

The UK Embassy described Day as 5'4" tall, skinny, with strawberry-blond, long hair, brown eyes, and aged 56.

Day was staying at The Corporate Inn, at the corner of 1005 Ma. Orosa and T.M. Kalaw Streets in Ermita, Manila.

She was last seen by her business partner at 9:30 a.m. on September 12 at LRI Design studio, 210 Nicanor Garcia Street (formerly Reposo Street), Bel-Air II, Makati City.

The UK Embassy said Day was not recorded on any Manila-Cebu flight manifests, suggesting that she may still be in Manila.

"However, the possibility that she made it up to Cebu unrecorded cannot be ruled out. According to Philippine Immigration, Carole has not left the Philippines," it said.

It added Day is a frequent traveler to Manila and Cebu to oversee her furniture and interior decoration business.

Her son said she had intended to fly to Phuket, Thailand on September 12 from Cebu, but did not arrive at her final destination. She has been completely out of contact since that date.

She was due to arrive back in Hong Kong on September 15 for a number of important events, including a close friend's funeral. —VVP, GMANews.TV
