Sinead O'Connor 'Missing' in the US After Bike Ride
BBC News ^ | 5/16/2016 | BBC News

Posted on 05/16/2016 10:49:10 AM PDT by usafa92

Wilmette Police "are seeking to check the well-being" of the 49-year-old, they said in a brief press release. Police were called after O'Connor "left the Wilmette area" for a bicycle ride at 0600 local time on Sunday, and had not returned after more than a day. No more information is currently available, police say.

O'Connor became a global star in 1990 with the worldwide hit Nothing Compares 2 U, a song written by Prince. She has recorded 10 solo albums but has also made headlines with controversial outbursts throughout her career. In 1992, she ripped apart a photo of Pope John Paul II during a live television broadcast and has been a strong critic of the Catholic Church over its handling of the child abuse scandal.

When priests rape little girls then, I guess you’re fine with that.

Asinine response. Of course not.

Yes, it occurs, but 80+% of the cases were man-boy.

This having happened in the Chicago area and the woman having gone out alone at 0600, there’s at least a reasonable chance of foul play, a lone woman on a bike being a pretty easy target.

I'm inclined to agree.However,two things make me wonder 1) at this time of year you get full daylight at 0600 2) although I don't know Chicago well I think I've read that Wilmett is a fairly prosperous,if not *very* prosperous,suburb.If I'm correct about Wilmett it would seem to lessen the chances of foul play.

She strikes me as someone with schizophrenia, who was violently raped as a girl.

I’d like to see a screen cap of her last, and since deleted, Facebook post, but I doubt any FReepers follow her.

She was not in Chicago. She was on a bike in a very wealthy suburb. She was on meds. Or not on the meds she should have been taking. She is a complete wack, and she is likely to be found somewhere hiding out. Her facebook says that she is sure they are out to get her and her son.

Cyclists typically seek to ensure their legs are smoothly shaved both before and after rides.
That could ensure here whereabouts both before and after a pro-level ride.

You don’t have to follow her, here’s her last post, done yesterday:

:Jake, kindly go to the court on Tuesday and take custody your brother from Tusla. My lawyer will be making the illegal way yourself and Donal got him into Tusla (lying to the cops etc) known to the judge. expect to be in trouble. In fact you’d best bring a lawyer of your own. And do not abandon your brother or any other of my babies again. What you have done to your brother and your mother is LITERALLY criminal.”

Prince created a lot of singing stars, for which he didn't get enough credit. A lot of so-called stars can't create what they sing. Prince could, and did. Kick-started a lot of careers.

Yes, also Sheena Easton, who broke her goody-goody image from “Morning Train” with “U Got the Look.” Prince used the pseudonym Alexander Nevermind to write “Sugar Walls,” which she recorded too.
