Courtney George fears her brother John was killed by a friend in Spain
John, also known as John Hardy, has been missing since before Christmas. His family believes he was shot and that his body is hidden somewhere. But the police are still treating it as a missing persons case.
Courtney suspects that this friend, who she describes as dangerous, is the main suspect. She mentioned that he’s not cooperating with the investigation and has gone quiet.
Search efforts are ongoing in Alicante, Benidorm, and Torrevieja. John last contacted his family on December 14, when he drove from Alicante to Benidorm.
The alarm was raised when he missed his flight home for Christmas. His phone has been off since that day, which led his family and friends to travel to Spain to find him.
Recently, search teams from Northern Ireland have joined the effort. A K9 Search and Rescue team arrived in Alicante to help look for John. They’re working alongside local teams to find him.
Courtney shared that many family members and friends from Belfast have come to help. They just want to bring John home for a proper burial.
In a heartfelt video, John’s father, Billy, expressed his desperation, pleading for any information about his son. He’s determined to stay in Spain until he finds John.
The police in Northern Ireland are also involved, offering assistance to Spanish authorities. They’ve set up a public portal for anyone with information to come forward.
If anyone has details that could help, they’re encouraged to reach out to the police. The family is hoping for answers soon, as they just want to bring John back home.
