Family fight on Missing Lisa’s ex launches appeal DETERMINED: The battle to find Lisa (inset) may not be over yet.
By Matt Ford THE ex-husband of missing Scottish mum, Lisa Brown has vowed to fight a Spanish judge’s decision to shelve her case. It comes after her ex-partner and former prime suspect, Simon Corner, 35, was last month sensationally freed after going on the run for a second time. Javier Garcia Ramila, a magistrate probing the case at the Court of Investigation in San Roque, Cadiz, spoke of his ‘serious doubts’ regarding the enquiry due to a ‘lack of concrete proof’ in a 10-page written ruling released at the time. But Tony Tomillero, the father of Lisa’s 11-year-old son, Marco, has instructed his legal team to launch an appeal. He believes that Corner and five others arrested in the
immediate wake of her disappearance who have now had their bail conditions lifted should be held and formally charged. Originally from Alexandria, Dumbartonshire, Scottish expatriate, Lisa was 32 when she vanished from her Guadiaro home on November 4, 2015. The alarm was raised when she failed to collect son, then aged eight, from school. Lisa worked in Gibraltar and detectives have said a ‘violent episode’ appeared to
have taken place, but her body has never been found. Liverpool-born yacht dealer, Corner was, in May 2016, held in Denmark on a European Arrest Warrant and extradited to Spain after fleeing the country after Lisa went missing. He was released from an Algeciras prison on bail in April 2017 but broke the terms of his agreement by failing to present himself at a Costa del Sol police station earlier this year, before being re-arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport on a second European Arrest Warrant. A £100,000 reward remains on offer from Lisa’s family for anyone coming forward with ‘substantial new information leading to her whereabouts.’

€65m coke raids amid hit threats The same night, another of Avila’s confidantes was stopped by Local Police on suspicion of drunk driving but fled before being tracked down. While inside, he told detectives: ‘They are out of their minds, they know who has to pay with money or blood.’ He added that the brutal murder was ordered due to the theft of a drug stash in which Avila was heavily implicated. The new warnings follow raids along the coast as investigators crack down on what is seen as a spiralling problem. Four Albanian men were held in holiday hotspot, Benalmadena after an 86-kilo haul worth an estimated €5.8 million was found in their car, despite the driver being tipped off by ‘spotters.’ And Guardia Civil officers seized 900 kilos of the drug with a jaw-dropping street value of €60.75 million hidden in a tropical fruit shipment at the port of Algeciras, Cadiz.
