ARCHIVED - Barcelona crime unit intensifies search for missing UK rugby star Levi Davis
The former Celebrity X-Factor contestant went missing in Spain in October last year
Four months after disappearing in Spain almost without a trace, detectives in Barcelona are reportedly taking a closer look at the case of missing rugby star Levi Davis to establish whether a crime has been committed.
Although Spanish investigators are keeping the details of the search for the 24-year-old under wraps, a Mossos d’Esquadra spokesperson recently said that there were “disturbing” elements to the case with “no logical explanation”.
Davis, who appeared on on Celebrity X-Factor in 2019 and was about to release his second solo single, flew to Ibiza on October 17 to visit his friend Richard Squire and work on his music. He stayed until October 29 when he suddenly decided to take a boat to Barcelona.
"I was obviously worried for him,” Squire said after the former Bath and Worthing rugby player decided to leave the island. “I said: 'Gone where?' He said: 'Barcelona, going to see some mates'.
"So then I sent him a voice note saying: 'You're worrying me. Please tell me where you are'."
When Davis failed to touch base with his friend after arriving on mainland Spain, Squire contacted his family back in the UK. The Spanish police launched a nationwide search on November 8.
Aside from a brief voice message to a friend on October 30, Davis hasn’t made any further contact and he was last spotted on CCTV leaving the Old Irish Pub in Barcelona just hours after he arrived in the Spanish city.
Friend Squire has described the last few months as an "emotional rollercoaster".
"I'm dealing with people that I've never met before," he said.
"You don't know what information is right, what information is wrong. And it's just incredibly upsetting.
"Even though it's four months it still feels like the first day every day. And it's difficult, it's hard."
