The family of a missing man from Northern Ireland in Benidorm believe he has been murdered. Father of two John George, also known as John Hardy, was reported missing on December 18 after failing to catch a flight home from Spain where he had gone to visit friends three weeks earlier. His family had become concerned when his phone went dead on December 14 and in a final phone call he had appeared “distressed”.
A major search has been taking place on the Costa Blanca involving friends and family to try and locate him. John’s young brother Darren says that the family has been “ripped to pieces” by what has happened and they also believe that he is now dead - and the police should be treating it that way rather than a missing persons case.
And the missing man’s sister Courtney George, 31, who has also joined the search said she believes he was murdered. “I think he has been murdered and his body hidden somewhere. Those responsible need to tell us where he is,” she told Sunday Life. “I am in caves and mountains looking for my brother while they have run away. They need to tell us what they know.
“We’ve already been to the last place he was seen to ask for doorbell or dashcam footage as well as CCTV. Once we locate video evidence we can work with getting canines to the location but we need proof about where he might be so the dogs know where to start.”.
Courtney said that her brother had been visiting a friend in Cabo Roig, near Alicante. “We want a body and we want to bring him home. We want a resting place for him, that’s all we want,” she said. “I don’t care about all the rest for now, my brother has two sons and my main focus is getting him home.”.
