Nora Quoirin was ‘approached by stranger at the airport and followed to jungle resort a day before she vanished’
A STRANGER approached Nora Quoirin in Kuala Lumpur airport the day before she vanished from a resort in Malaysia, an inquest heard.
The British teen, 15, who had mental and physical disabilities, was found dead wearing no clothes in the rainforest ten days after disappearing last year.
However, the kids ignored him as they had been taught "not to speak to strangers."
The family insist the window was closed before they went to sleep on the night the 15-year-old went missing.
Ms Chong said the family told resort staff that the window would not close securely when they checked in.
He told the court that the animal was also taken to a nursery north of the room where Nora was last seen before being taken into the nearby jungle.
Sergeant Kong San, who has 20 years experience with sniffer dogs, said he knew the hound had failed to pick up the scent because of its behaviour and gait.
He told the Coroner's Court that factors which could have impacted the dog's smelling ability were the weather, the amount of people at the resort and the terrain.
After three failed attempts, spaced over several hours, the mutt was allowed to rest because it had pre-existing health conditions affecting its hips and hind legs.
The four-year-old dog only took part in the search on August 4, the police officer said.
When asked by a lawyer whether its health problems could have affected its ability to smell, Sergeant Kong San agreed that they could.
Ms Chong also told the inquest how Nora's parents begged cops to follow up leads from psychics.
She said: "The family informed me that they had received several instant messages from spiritual mediums said to be based overseas who were willing to provide their assistance," reports The Malay Mail.

The cop said she noted down the info and asked the force to look into the messages.
The mediums said Nora had either been followed by someone from the airport and was still alive, was being held close to the Dusun Resort and her life was in danger or was in a van located at the south-western part of the jungle.
