A British dad who had prompted concerns he had gone missing during a trip to Benidorm has been found. Neil Ginter had made no contact with his loved ones for over 24 hours, according to the mum of his child.
Terri Purland, who shares a child with Neil, has taken to social media to report the Stagecoach bus driver from Plymouth had not been in touch for several hours on Wednesday, July 1. However, later the same day, she announced he had been found and he was safe and well.
Concern for Neil had been further heightened by his silence on social media, with his son’s mother pleading with any expats, holidaymakers or locals to come forward with any information on him.
Terri previously said: “Looking for my son’s dad who is in Benidorm but no one has heard from him for over 24 hours.
“No posts on Facebook or even being active. He’s met a few people while there. If anyone has seen or heard from him can you please get in contact.”
Benidorm is an extremely popular hotspot among Brits for summer holidays – with around 900,000 visiting every year.
This comes after another Brit was thankfully found after being reported missing in Spain.
Michael Hewitt, who was travelling over to the USA to cheer on England at the World Cup, vanished during a layover. The die-hard footy fan known as ‘Little Mick’ to his mates, disappeared in Barcelona on June 21.
Fortunately, he was found following a 10 day search – ‘blissfully unaware’ his loved ones were looking for him. The Brit had lost his phone leaving him unable to travel onwards to the USA or contact people back at home.
The 65-year-old had been watching the tournament from a bar in the Spanish city, with confirmed sightings of him on social media.
Brother Gary Hewitt said: “Little Mick is safe and well in Barcelona, and was blissfully unaware that the world was searching for him.”
