Two boys are heartbroken as their father goes missing in Benidorm just before Christmas, leaving the family desperate for answers.
Benidorm: It’s a tough time for a couple of boys who are really missing their dad. John Hardy, 37, went missing while on holiday in Spain, and now his kids are just hoping Santa can bring him back home for Christmas.
He was last seen on December 18, when he didn’t make it to his flight back to Belfast. His sister, Courtney, is worried sick. She says he usually checks in with her every couple of days, but it’s been nine days without a word.
Courtney had planned a big Christmas dinner for him, and now she feels like she’s in a nightmare. She’s been overwhelmed with worry and hasn’t even been able to eat properly. All she wants is for her brother to come home.
His kids are struggling too. The youngest is confused, and the older one is seeing all the social media buzz, which is making things even harder. They just want their dad back for the holidays.
Courtney has set up a GoFundMe page to help with the search, and she’s been blown away by the support from people back home and beyond. She’s urging anyone who can help to pitch in.
The police are on the case, working with international partners to find John. It’s a race against time, especially with the holidays coming up. Everyone is hoping for a miracle.
