Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I hope that they get whoever did it. He's a nice bloke who always says hello when he sees you. I have seen him around for a lot of years and he used to go out with a mate of mine. Criminal past or not, he does know some dodgy people, I heard off friends that he had gone missing before it was ever reported on the news and we all reckoned that somebody had done him in. A friend of his reported him missing 2 days after he was last seen, yet it didn't come to the public attention until the middle of last week.

Its frightening what goes on or could go on so close to you

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

my thoughts go out to his family

dave is a very popular man and i reackon a lot of people here know him in one way or another

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

my sentiments ecactly

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

if the guys bin topped i hope they get them who did it,whatever hes done he certainly doesnt seem to be a evil git or a bad sod,most people go through life breaking the law in some small way at least.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

just been on the news a 35 year old man has been arrested for the murder.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 37-year-old Lancashire businessman missing for nearly two weeks.

Three men and a woman who were arrested have been released without charge.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

not guilty untill proved innocent,what is suspicion (have you, are havent you)(did you or didnt you)that is the question.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Walked past his house last night, Coppers were still parked up outside and teh place taped up.

Like you say horrible things can hapen on your doorstep and you don't know owt about it.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Is David Guilfoyle any relation to the late Jimmy Gulfoyle, from Clayton, who was stabbed by his wife?

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I heard a rumour of a body being found near the Bubble Factory/Ossy Mills but there has been nothing in the papers as yet.Probably just a rumour after all.Looks like I missed all the excitement whilst on hols!

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Nothing like rumour to get things talked about eh Lindsay. Nothing official about a body so far although after all this time police must be thinking that it will end up this way. Have been reliably informed that David is the son of the late Jimmy Guilfoyle.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

THE first four have been released and they have arrested anouther person who they could only keep in the cells and question untill tonight .

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

David is the son of the late jim guilfoyle but not the one from clayton.

The 35yr old man who was arrested has been released on police bail.Apparently not enough evidence.

Please let us help find this man.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I heard that someone on southwood drive bash was arrested in connection is this true does anyone know?

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

the man arrested is a local man although he apparently lives in hapton at the moment.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

the man in quesionhe was released on thursday night.

no evidence.

he got part 4 bail and has to report back on monday.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

i thought he was released due to not enough evidence not because there was no evidence

also although i would like to see who ever attacked mr guilfoyle brought to justice the suspects name was not allowed to be printed for legal reasons in the paper so i assume it wouldnt be wise to post it on accy web

many people know the name of the person arrested but printing it in a news paper or on a public website may effect the case

i dont know how but there must be a reason why his name wasnt allowed to be printed


please dont take this that i am having a go at you m8 ime just pointing out if you like

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

thanks chav,


i was just passing on local gossip.


as you said common knowledge is one thing but printed words are another..........

then again i have a lot of history with mr. guilfoyle..............a friend.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

if you have history with him then you will probably know me, if your heart is where mine is help him before its too late.
The suspected pig is apparently a very cold and calculating pig and wouldnt have dared approached dave face. A cowardly bully at least . He deserves to be nailed.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

i have a history with the guy in question..........send me a private message

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

someone outthere may know the answer to this but i have heard dave had finished with this girl a few days before he dissappeared. can this be confirmed?

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

any more news on the dissappearance of David. I dont live in the area for the local news

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

look at www.thisislancashire.co.uk, updates probably on there

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Are we missing a few posts from this thread, all posts from 12-6 have gone, has someone been deleting?

Looks like all posts are here to me, according to logs there has been no moderator action on this thread...

You're right Roy, the posts I was discussing at work today have been edited by the posters themselves.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

still no news. can anyone up there tell me whats happening here please

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

they made it into a murder investigation a couple of days ago but no offical news as of yet

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Accrington Police....in charge of a murder inquiry...???

It will be remembered that these are the people who made a complete mess of directing a marching troop of scouts through Accrington last year. Although the Keystone Cops didn't have flashing lights and sirens that go Woo-Woo on their expensive cars, they were at least mildly amusing and always seemed to end up getting their man.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

So now would be an ideal time for all the petty theives and crooks to have a field day - because all our officers are going to be occupied for quite some time.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

The thieves and gypos always have a field day in Accrington because the police are always preoccupied.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

got told that they have pulled a body out of the canal in clayton over the weekend rumours are that it is david guilfoyle...no official news as yet though

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Just another rumour at the moment. I heard this on Friday but apparently the police were looking for something else, I dont know if that can be beleived but its all weve got at the moment.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I live in Clayton...and I walked past the canal on my way home on Friday and thought something like that had happened as the road next to it was cordened of,,,but according to telegraph on Saturday it was an assault that happened there.. hope this clears that up for you.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I've heard today that a couple of kids walking their dog along the canal in Church had found a head! how much truth there is in it I have no idea.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

There are hundreds of places to hide a body round Accy. I will be very surprised if we find him.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Thankyou for that info re. the canal. As I said there are alot of rumours flying about but nothing concrete as yet. I have heard there is a substantial reward for anyone who leads the police to a conviction in this case. Keep hunting....

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

The incident in Clayton was not connected with this enquiry. Understand a young man walking home on canal towpath was attacked & raped by several men. Yet more pervs in Clayton! & we are expected to let our kids go down to play in Mercer park.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

It is so scary, so much seems to be going on of late in the east lancs area

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Thanks Big Al for the update.
Shane Fitzpatrick from C.L.M has had his bail extended. He is obviously still under suspision.
I beleive He comes from clayton. aAnyone have any more clues???http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...cons/icon5.gif

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Do any of you have the faintest idea about organised crime and what dave may or may not have been involved in,most of your observations and comments are based on pure guesswork and what the press wants you to believe.What you should know about dave is that he was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, a shrewd businessman who earnt literally thousands a week,although you may not have guessed this or even known it due to his low key lifestyle. My interest in dave is purely based on previous dealings with him through various companies i work for within the security sector, all i can say about this case is that if accrington police are investigating it may well be a very long time before they actually get to the bottom of daves disappearance, perhaps if people knew the right people,knew his real connections and how dave derived most of his income then they might just have a better understanding of what may have happened to him,instead of all this will speculation thats flying around at the moment.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

By the way, he didnt earn thousands a week

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

instead of those people who are just spouting rumours and hearsay perhaps its time to name names instead of pretending you all knew dave.Some of us knew more than you could ever imagine.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

oh dear its a case of you think you know someone and really dont isnt it , check you r facts northern lass and then perhpas you will see that like i explained to you the people responsobile are so far away from the uk right now, AFYI dave earnt a substantial amount odf money but chose to keep his lifestyle low key and aapear like any other accrington resident but to those who knew him through business we knew all about his finacial situation.

Also lie i said your suggestion to the keystone cops in accrington clearly wasnt correct now was it, like i say look further afield and you will find.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Perhaps you could start the ball rolling in the naming names...... and giving clues if you are in a position to do so ???

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

like i stated to northern lass i am here to help bring to justice the people responsobile for dave's disappearance, suffice for me to say i am fearful of what might happen should i reveal in such a public space who excatly did this, and if knew me, you knew how dave knew me and all the other related connections you would understand fully what i mean.All i can say is that the keystone cops have got it so far wrong so far .

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I think the naming of names might be a bit risky on a public site like this.......and if you really do know so much SecurityScouser then you may be better naming names to the police

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

i fear for my own safety should i directly name names, if you knew me and my buiness and how we knew dave and all the other related connections you would fully understand .

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

i do want to see justice done but not at the expense of my own life and no i do not live in accrington but have financial,property and other interests in and around the area,thats how i came to know dave.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

But how does your coming on here and pointing out other peoples failings, while not bringing any extra to the table, Help bring to justice the people responsible ???

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

We can only ever know what the press tell us......most of us on here are in no position to know anything else, and we cannot be blamed for that.......whether we really BELIEVE what the press tell us is another matter.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

all im sayimg is that if you really knew the truth you would be shocked thats all, like i says i fear for my own safety at the moment, and itmay interest you to know that there were 2 people involved in his disappearance and they are currently not even in the uk , they flew out the same night i can assure you, i base my comments on real knowledge and information not hearsay and gossip.i want to see them brought to justice as much as anyone but i fear for my own safety.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

SECURITY SCOUSER... I am not getting at you.... just if you want to help tell the right people......
If you are truly worried about your own safety you have just give the possible Bad Guys a path straight to your front door...... I am not very good with a computer but I have found your e-mail address, and with that they can do the rest........:(

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

NOW WHY WOULD YOU BE LOOKING AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS HMMMMM

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

he is not he is just showing that if he can any body else also can

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Perhaps to prove to you that when you make allegations or assumptions you are more vulnerable than you know. Many people on here have posted based on actually knowing Dave & if you have a genune interest in what has happened or know anything factual you have a duty to report it to the proper authorities. I know Simon, he is in the security business too, but if he can obtain information about you so easily so can others. If you are right you have already put yourself in a position where you need to watch your back. in which case you have compromised your own safety. Possibly time to put up or shut up!

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Perhaps I am a very bad man ;)

Trust me if I was, your name and address would be in front of me now..... Be careful my friend :)

I dont know what these little inuendos are on here but come on you guys get serious. HELP if u can

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Then ring Crimestoppers. Its free and confidential. They wont know its you. Use a phone box, they cant trace a number to you can they

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

you never know a police officer could be reading this and ask the admin for his ip address which will most likely be logged when he joined up or email address which can be both traced to the address where the computer is that he is using so he may find himself answering questions even if he wasnt planning on doing so

also mr security scouser if you can help and are in fear for your life then perhaps it is time you spoke to the police

but if you are simply taking the pi$$ and think its funny to come onto a local website making claims to having information that can lead to daves alleged killers been caught please remember he has family and a 15 year old daughter who may or may not come onto this site and i dare say would be pretty uspet about it

its no good coming here and saying you know who killed dave we cant do a thing about it but the police can

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

It doesn't even need a police officer to be reading it. Anyone reading this could already have decided to report the messages to the police. They are very keen to follow up any possible lead.

And don't assume this website is only read by a few local yokels. Apart from the many registered members there are numerous "guest" visitors.

If you genunely know something then the police will probably be wanting to talk to you very soon. If on the other hand you are just one of those people who pop out of the woodwork whenever something like this happens and like to feel they are important you may end up wishing you hadn't because the people responsible for this crime could well wish to track you down and shut you up whether you know something or not. People like that prefer not to take chances.

Some people on here knew Dave Guilfoyle better than others. He was very popular. Don't insult people by telling them they never knew him when they know darned well they did.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Well said Willow. I also think its disgusting that SOME people think its ok to laugh and joke about something like this. Some people have been affected badly by this and others should respect these people. If someone has nothing useful to say on the matter, then maybe they should keep their mouths buttoned and leave the space for people who really wish they could help

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

For some reason l hadn't read the whole of this thread until now, it is one of the more interesting things l've ever read on here.

Couple of points,

- Where do we stand legally naming people on here? l read recently of a man who got an ASBO for critisising Allah on a UK website.

-If security scouser really knows as much as he does, l'd have gone to the police, l certainly wouldn't have jepordised my safety by implying l knew basically who did this crime by dropping hints on a public website when you can easily be traced.

-Thirdly tried to give karma to Simon, but l have to spread it about a bit more. What you said made total sense, and l'll owe you one. :) You ass kicker, and never mind his punch!

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

As Chav has said, Security scouser has whether he likes it or not left enough of a trail for anyone who has access to the ISP logs that will trace him to his address. Do we not have any plod on here? I'd be very surprised if we didn't.

Ian

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I think if Security Scouser has a heart then he would have gone to the police. If he is putting himself at risk like he said, then hes already done that

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Any silly punk with a GCSE grade 'C' in psychology will tell you that SecurityScouser is no more then a Walter Mitty type day dreamer, suffering with a mild case of narcissistic personality disorder. Ignore him. If he did know 'owt worth knowing, he would'nt put it on here. End of story.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Tealeaf, if that is true then he is a sick, sad man.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Well it looks as though he's been frightened off or realised he's been rumbled as he hasn't replied to the last few posts..... Let normal service resume.......

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

As Big Al says you have basically compromised your own security by posting on here.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Come on legal eagles!

It's ok gossiping over the garden fence, but how do we stand on here, when the papers can't print to many details, so as not to compimise any subsequent convictions.

What would happen?

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

Given the length of time since Davids disappearance & the lack of forthcoming information along with the genuine comments on here by people who knew/know him there is more involvment in this at a higher criminal level than maybe was first thought. The normal general banter may not have interested the likes of these elements, but the comments by Security Scouser would definitely raise heckles so he should be thankful for the warning not to bluff & stick his fingers where they could be burnt. As for naming names I know some have pointed fingers off site but if wrong, naming on this site will open you up for lible or slander. I carry our contract work for the police & can say they are far from muppets in the actions they are taking on this case. Not just local boys are working on this but several higher ranking experienced officers are attatched to this case. Cannot say more because of confidentiality.

still nothing new i take it. come on you accringtonians one of you must know something.

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

is anyone still interested in this, that can tell me if anything new has happened there?

Re: Missing Accrington man - David Guilfoyle
 

I would assume, northern lass, that whoever is responsible for the disappearance of Mr Guilfoyle are in some way connected to the criminal fraternity. It would be unlikely, therefore that the good people of Accy web have any knowledge of these characters;this is the wrong alley in which to chase leads, I'm afraid.

I am a very close family friend and would like to ask anyone with any information however small to come forward. I can tell you his 15-year-old Daughter is going through absolute hell at the moment. All she wants to do at this moment in time is to find her Dad! Please help her!!
