A Belfast man's brother has made a desperate plea for information after a search team from Northern Ireland travelled to Spain to look for him. John George, 37, went missing in Alicante on December 14th. His family believe he is dead and are determined to bring his body home.
The brother of a Belfast man believed dead after going missing in Spain has made a plea for any information after a Northern Ireland rescue team travelled to Alicante to search with dogs and a drone. John George , also known as John Hardy, had been holidaying in Alicante and was last in touch with his family on December 14. The 37-year-old was reported missing four days later after he failed to board his flight home to Northern Ireland. His family believe the father-of-two is dead.
His brother, Darren, is in Alicante helping in the search with their parents, Billy and Sharon, and sisters, Courtney and Caitlin, along with up to 50 friends and wider family from Northern Ireland. Members from K9 Search And Rescue NI, a volunteer canine search team, joined the wide-scale operation to find Mr George and officers from the PSNI are liaising with the family and authorities in Spain. Darren George told PA news agency: 'A lot of people are over showing us their support. 'We also can see the support from back home, which is fantastic, and that's what's giving us the energy and the strength to actually go forward. 'But the searches can be very frustrating as we're getting no answers at the end of them. It's very frustrating and we are being left very angry. 'Someone knows where John is. They need to give it up, and they need to give the location, whether it's done anonymously. 'This isn't going to stop and certainly we're not going to go away until we get John's body. We get John's body, we're on the next flight out of here. 'Somebody has answers and we will not leave Spain without John's body.' He added: 'John was happy-go-lucky guy. John would have rang you at any time of the day or night'
