A DISTRAUGHT mum fought back tears last night as she begged her teenage son to come home. Robert Marshall, 17, vanished more than a week ago on a family camping trip in Bethesda. Speaking for the first time his mum Paula Jacobs said: "It's been a nightmare."

Former Ysgol John Bright pupil Robert (below right), of Pleasant Street, Craig y Don, Llandudno, was last seen by 12-year-old brother Matthew at around 10.30pm on June 1. He was walking towards the exit of the Ogwen Bank Caravan Park and Country Club where he was staying with his family. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=3077

Robert's sudden disappearance sparked a huge search by police, the force helicopter, divers, dogs and Ogwen Valley mountain rescue team who combed the area for clues to his whereabouts.

Last night Miss Jacobs, 34, said: "We just want him to come home.

"We love him and we miss him. It just does not feel right that he is not here.

"I last saw him when we were leaving the club house. I got back to the caravan and fell asleep and that was it. I have no idea whatsoever where he may have gone. He told his brother that he had left because he wanted to get onto the inter-net to contact a girl he had just met. He had lost his phone and couldn't text her, so he told his brother he was coming home. We didn't have an argument or anything like that."

Detectives soon discounted the possibility he may have met his internet friend who lives in Northampton.

my deepest sympathy to the mother of this boy it does not matter what goes on in family matters , even if there was more to it than him simply walking off as was suggested by some members no parent should have to out live their children i do hope that the family can evevtually come to terms with what has happened and one day get back some normality for the sake of the other kids

Having lost my son while he was on holiday in Spain, I agree with every word.  But his mother will NEVER get over it.

Thinking of you all. It must be awful.  Teenagers often do stupid spur of the minute things. The worrying thoughts must be endless. We all know what teenagers can be like. Maybe he just simply didn't fancy staying at the camp site? (obvious one!) Maybe didn't want to return home after such a good time for awhile? Perhaps even sulking somewhere to cool off ?? Hopefully he's just having "an adventure" and will turn up soon. I really wish for you a happy conclusion.  Let us know.

Kind Regards

Think you need to go back and read the thread again, i think you missed the part where they found a body, and it was confirmed to be that of Robert.

We may never know what really happend, all we can do is pray it does not happen again.
