Where is Brandon Moore? English Rugby star goes missing, wife issues help plea
The former Halifax rugby captain has been missing since Friday.
Moore's wife, Mara, took to social media to ask for help in locating him. She stated that she couldn't go hunt for him due to the responsibilities of her three kids.
"If anyone has seen Brandon Moore, can you please message me? I usually wouldn't ever post anything on here like this, but family and friends haven't seen or heard of him and hoping maybe someone's seen sightings of him and can message me?" she wrote in a Facebook post. The couple is based in Castleford, West Yorkshire, in England.
"I have a 7-week-old baby at home and two others, so I can't go hunting by myself, other than a car ride. Police contacted. Been missing approx 14 hours now. Thank you," the post added.
The Facebook post has since gone viral, amassing thousands of shares and about 100 comments.
Brandon More was supposed to play for the Batley Bulldogs at the Fox's Biscuits Stadium for the team's Championship match against table-topping French club Toulouse Olympique on Saturday.
The club even named Moore in the squad for the game. But he did not show up either to play or watch his team. The home side ended up losing against Toulouse by a 30-14 score. The Bulldogs sit 11th in the Championship table after the loss, having amassed 66 points so far.

Titan Submersible Implosion Was ‘Preventable', Says US Coast Guard In Damning Report
The US Coast Guard's report on the June 2023 Titan submersible implosion near the Titanic cites preventable safety failings at OceanGate. The US Coast Guard concluded that the implosion of the Titan submersible during its 2023 descent to the Titanic wreck was 'preventable", as per a sharply critical report. In June 2023, Titan lost contact with its mothership during a submersion near the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic, sparking a large-scale international rescue operation off the coast of Newfoundland. When debris was recovered days later, it confirmed the submersible had suffered an instantaneous implosion. Among the five fatalities were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British adventurer Hamish Harding, French Titanic expert Paul‑Henri Nargeolet and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood along with his son Suleman. All were declared dead upon impact. OceanGate suspended all operations a month later. The exhaustive 300-page Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) report outlined systemic safety failings at OceanGate, the company that designed and operated the Titan. From design flaws to deficient certification, maintenance and inspection regimes, the report said that the entire safety system was fatally compromised. Jason Neubauer, chair of the MBI, called the tragedy a cautionary tale about unchecked ambition. He said, 'There is a need for stronger oversight and clear options for operators who are exploring new concepts outside of the existing regulatory framework." The report delivered a scathing assessment of OceanGate's internal environment highlighting a culture in which safety warnings were ignored, downplayed or even erased. Investigators described a pattern of intimidation, including firing or threatening to fire senior team members who raised concerns. OceanGate has also been accused of exploiting its reputation as a cutting-edge deep-sea exploration firm to bypass regulatory scrutiny, as per the report. By deliberately navigating regulatory ambiguity, the company operated Titan well outside accepted marine safety standards, the report noted. Safety Procedures Designed For Show, Not Substance Investigators found 'glaring disparities" between OceanGate's written protocols and how Titan was actually handled. The vessel never received certification from recognised marine safety authorities and its critical carbon‑fibre hull had not undergone adequate endurance testing to withstand deep ocean pressures. The report also condemned the absence of a robust international regulatory framework for private submersibles operating outside territorial waters. Jason Neubauer said, 'The Titan tragedy was not the price of progress. It was the result of decisions that ignored risk, silenced warnings and put ambition ahead of accountability." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Shocking details emerge in Quadruple suspect Austin Drummond's cushy jail life, here's all you need to know
Quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond lived in shocking comfort during his 13-year prison term, posting Facebook photos of his cell stocked with Ciroc vodka, Roku streaming devices, video games, and cellphones. One November 2023 photo showed him holding vodka with the caption: 'Almost home living it up'. Experts say this contraband points to major security failures. "Prison staff showed irresponsibility and neglect," said former NYPD detective Pat Brosnan, noting mandatory "shakedowns" should catch banned items. Drummond faced four prior contraband charges but kept accessing luxury goods, possibly with staff help. On July 29, Drummond allegedly murdered four relatives in Lake County: parents James Wilson (21) and Adrianna Williams (20), grandmother Cortney Rose (38), and teen uncle Braydon Williams (15). Their bodies were found in woods near Tiptonville, hours after their 7-month-old daughter was abandoned in a stranger's yard in Tigrett. Authorities called the baby's abandonment a "sign of compassion" that ensured her safety. Drummond, who reportedly dated Rose's sister, had a "familial relationship" with the victims, though his motive remains unclear. Despite warnings, Drummond was freed in September 2024 after serving time for armed robbery and prison retaliation charges. In 2020, District Attorney Jody Pickens urged parole boards to keep him jailed, calling Drummond a "confirmed Vice Lords gang member" with 25+ discipline violations including weapons possession and assaults. Over 12 agencies hunt Drummond across Tennessee after he was spotted August 4 in camouflage, armed with a rifle, near Jackson. Three associates, Tanaka Brown, Giovonte Thomas, and Dearrah Sanders, face charges for helping him evade capture. Authorities recovered his white Audi and Ford truck but warn he remains 'armed and dangerous'. A $32,500 reward is offered for tips leading to his arrest. Residents are urged to lock doors and report sightings to the Dyer County Police Department using 1-800-TBI-FIND.
