I think you’re missing the fact that although I appreciate everyone’s help on here, not everything that is relevant will be posted on a public online forum. Please don’t just assume I’m not doing things that I know can help but thank you for the suggestion, I took on Otos advice when I read the comment
Thank you for your comments Mrcandid I really appreciate any advice
Thank you so much for coming on here. I'm sorry you've been getting any grief here. That needs to stop.
People- Not everyone has the means to fly to another country to look for a needle in a hay stack.
I have a suggestion but it makes me nervous because I don't know why you have been told not to contact the media.
Do you feel confident in the Spanish police's efforts?
I feel like publicity via more public, emotional appeals would be good. First, it would help make people keep their eyes open if something happened off the road and second, it could spark remorse or sympathy in someone involved or who knows someone involved, IF there has been foul play.
Does your family have the ability to appoint a very intelligent family spokesperson? Either someone in your family, a family friend or someone from a victim's advocacy group who might be willing to help?
I'm worried about why the police told you not to talk to the press. Clearly they have more info than I but if they aren't giving you a reason why and there's been no progress in three months, maybe that's the wrong tack.
If I were you I'd ask the police exactly why they don't want you going to the police. If the answer wasn't logical or good enough I'd warn the police that I would be going to the press.
Then I would be trying to get on the news every week constantly talking about my brother and father. Showing their photos. Discussing all the wonderful and unique things about them. Making sure the public sees them as human and as beloved family members.
I would talk also, multiple times, about how their disappearance has affected me and my family.
In any comments I would make sure to make only positive comments about the police and the Spanish public, saying how grateful I was for all they've done and how they've shown that they care. But that I need them to help me some more by spreading the word, looking for them or their car while on the roads and by coming forward if they have any info.
Spaniards understand and value family so you can go use that to your advantage.
Another thing that could help is posting a heartfelt YouTube video about your father and brother and what happened.
I've created one before in another case and could possibly help you in some way. Showing you how I did mine at least?
Let me know.
