This sounds very wrong. Something’s NOT adding up here. iPhone users using the Facebook app can view the Ericka Cullen Facebook wall , search her name it’s the first one that comes up two girls in pic Ericka on the left.

Ericka comment three days ago on Monday and her sisters comment today says :

‘you wanna sort your f**ken life out take it you saw the news my fones hoping all day ,See you Friday sox’ unquote.

I have spoken with blanch station who admit this is news to them and they are reviewing these comments and contacting family.

I hope she is ok but HOW BIZARRE is this and fact remains she CANNOT be missing a week as stated here because she posted on Facebook 3 days ago.

  Adrain, there was no need for you to type the word ‘unquote’ when you had just put the quote into quotation marks! After all you are typing it, not saying it! (I hate that ‘two double fingers in the air’ thing!) Well done on contacting Blanch. though.

  She’s 17 so she could be ‘missing’ from whoever’s caring for her and still using facebook, ie she ran away from home. Because she’s under 18 she has to be found whether she wants to be or not.

  You geniuses seem to think that, since her facebook was logged into since she bolted, attempts to find her should be just called off?!

  Why would anyone have unliked my origianl comment?? Clearly something is not right. She commented on her own facebook on Monday.And now her sister is saying see you friday. Its strange and if its not a real missing person case.Its just sick what has happened. Her sister in her own words.Has said .”Sort your f*cking life out and see you FridaY. (Sounds exactly how a real concerned missing persons sister would say)

  From what I belive is that she was living with a close family friend……her Mother died about 2 years ago.
  
  anyway social sevices started to butt in & they want to remove her & put her into care till she is 18.
  
  So that is why the Garda have her down as missing…………..The HSE dont want bad press anymore do they
