My dad and his girlfriend Tara had split in October.
They were on and off although he was looking to have another girlfriend he was heartbroken and yes most definitely ready for a new life, but not one in which he would abandon his family and disappear.
They did rent a car, police haven’t been in contact regarding its whereabouts.
They were looking to put a deposit down on a property, and they were hoping to find one while they were away there.
Myself and other younger brother moved into a house of our own. My dad wanted a place in Spain and the spare bedroom in our house was going to be his base, for when he came back to see us.
It is obvious that these were the intentions to us as a family.
My defensive reaction is purely based on the fact my Facebook is being stalked by people who would never understand what this feels like! I am grateful for the people who want to help but some of these comments are useless!
I’ve also been in contact with the BBC I want as much coverage we can get: I want my dad and brother back so why assume that I haven’t tried to get it into the press.
Like you guys here it seems a lot of **** gets made up and this is definitely what I’m most worried about, I’m 19 years old! Why would I know how to deal with a situation like this?
Any USEFUL suggestions I would appreciate!
Thank you so much for giving us this extra information. Unfortunately, without this kind of input you will get much more speculation and incorrect theories bouncing around.
In respect to your family I will delete my previous speculative post about the other arrests and cannabis, as with this extra information it now seems like it is unrelated. I am sorry you are having to go through this but please know that many people here are doing their best to help and some have been through similar things to you themselves.
