The family of missing Belfast man John George are growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of information from Spanish police investigating his disappearance. John George, 37, was last seen in Alicante on December 14th.
John George (37) was last in contact with his family on December 14th while holidaying in the south of Spain. The father of two missed a flight home the week before Christmas and his father, Billy George, has said he believes he was murdered. Mr George travelled to Spain with other relatives on December 21st to begin a search for him in Alicante, where his son was last seen.
Dozens of other family members and friends have since travelled to the region, while a Northern Ireland voluntary search and rescue team arrived on New Year’s Day following a fundraising campaign. Speaking to The Irish Times from Spain on Friday, Billy George expressed his frustration at the lack of information they had received from detectives investigating the disappearance of his son. “I visited the police station this morning and I’m at the same stage as the first day I came here – I know nothing,” he said. “I’ve been told nothing, my wife’s in bits. It is horrendous what we’ve come through. I had an interpreter for the first time today and the police told me to ‘just let them do their job’.” Earlier this week the PSNI issued a statement saying it was “liaising closely with the missing man’s family and other law enforcement agencies”. “While the investigation must be progressed by Spanish police, the Police Service of Northern Ireland have made an offer of assistance to police in Spain and will assist with any local inquiries as requested by them,” it said
