PM loves Lanzarote DAVID CAMERON and his family clearly enjoyed their Easter holiday in Lanzarote this week.
The Prime Minister, who loves holidaying in Spain, looked relaxed as he strolled through the medieval streets of Teguise over the weekend. He also lapped up the rays and indulged in a spot of surfing under a hot sun on the beautiful Caleta de Famara beach. This sunny corner of
the island is favoured by windsurfing fans, and the PM seemed comfortable in a wetsuit on his rented surfboard as he dived into the waves. His children, Arthur, Nancy and Florence, also enjoyed the waves while his wife, Samantha, topped up her tan. Later in the week, the family dined in Caleta de Famara, recently chosen by Pedro Almodóvar for the film Broken Embraces. Afterwards they went shopping in Playa Honda before returning to their Tomaren base, in the rural town of San
Bartolome. The 18th century, four-bedroom villa was recently renovated and, apparently, costs 250 euros a night to rent. This was, unsurprisingly, criticised heavily by some British newspapers, who also claimed he committed a fashion faux pas by wearing the same beige loafers as last year, when the Camerons visited Portugal. But the PM did show some signs of keeping the cost down - the family flew to Lanzarote on a scheduled Ryanair flight!
Missing girls died 40 years ago OFFICIALS in South Dakota have solved the mystery of two missing teenage girls - after more than 40 years!
But there is no happy ending. Cheryl Miller
and Pamella Jackson, both 17, who disappeared in 1971 while on their way to a party, died after driving into a creek. Their car, a 1960 Studebaker, had been hidden for 42 years in the creek near Elk Point, a small town in South Dakota.
It finally resurfaced because of a drought and was found last September. But the results of the forensic testing of the skeletal remains have taken all this time to be announced. Investigators showed dozens of photographs
of well-preserved clothing, Miss Miller’s purse and even her driver’s licence, complete with a photograph. Attorney General Marty Jackley said; “These personal items and DNA were used to identify the girls, It’s consistent with a car accident.
“To start with, the forensic pathology and anthropology reports indicate there’s no type of injury that would be consistent with, or caused by, foul play or inappropriate conduct.” Following their disappearance, family members, police and oth-
ers searched the area countless times without luck. Miss Jackson’s father, Oscar, will never know because, sadly, he died just five days before the car was found. The girls’ remains will be returned to family members for burial.
