MISSING PERSON
Please share to as many Motorhome FB groups.
4th May 2023.
My Mum is travelling alone through Portugal and Spain in her Motorhome, she has not been in touch for four days and we are unable to make contact with her. It has been reported to the police and the British consulate and she is now on the European Interpol missing list.
She last posted on FB Saturday evening on the 1st May and we believe the beach photos taken were somewhere near, Playa De Almayate, Bajamir. Near Malaga.
She is driving an Elddis Autoquest 2012.
Reg PO62CZE, we are unsure of the direction She may be travelling but claimed she was driving 2/3hrs a day.
Her name is Jasmine, 75 years old, 5ft 7inch long dark brown hair.
If anyone is currently in the south of Spain around Malaga or the southern coast of Spain could you please check the sites or aires you are in for the vehicle.
I can be contacted via email
Paulhdale@gmail.com 24/7
Or contact the local Malaga Police with any information. Tel: 952046200 or the British consulate.
THANK YOU PLEASE SHARE..

    Is this for real? All over the motorhome Facebook pages, but nothing in the press or on TV. I know that the MSM are preoccupied with the coronation, but surely they would have picked up on this one if for real?

    I haven’t phoned my kids for four days and they haven’t launched an appeal.

    My family can follow us in near real time via Polarsteps. They pretty much know where we are at any instant plus I add a commentary most days e.g. how long we will stay for on a site and where we will be going next. It also serves as a record of my trips.

    If it is a genuine plea, let's hope she will eventually make contact and she hasn't come to any harm.

    +1, one of my Aunts is a feisty Lady & wont stop doing what she always has done. Her immediate family worry endlessly. It’s good that Valda has taken a positive stance, I hope it makes a difference👏🏻👏🏻

    I hardly think anyone would go to such lengths if it wasn't genuine, and I hope it leads to this lady being found safe and well. 

    I found this, including photographs, this morning:

    It is not impossible to imagine that a person can go missing, but I find it difficult to believe that a motorhome, especially a UK one that would stand out like a sore thumb, can disappear off the face of the Earth. Maybe her mother has simply lost her mobile phone or had it stolen.

    Whether it is a case for concern depends on how close the contact between the person and her mother was immediately prior to the claimed disappearance. Some families aren't surprised if they don't hear from their children or parents for months on end.

    Apparently the lady has been found safe and well according to this Facebook post (link might not work if you don't have a Facebook account?)

    I emailed the missing lady's son a couple of hours ago - and had this reply:

    "Hi Valerie, Thank you. She has been found safe and sound by a French Gentleman and made aware of her families concerns.
    The power of the Internet won through.

    We can't thank you enough for all your support"
