Estepona and malaga are quite far apart (well, in british terms at least), a good hour drive at least.
My brother and sister in law live in estepona, they haven't heard about these guys missing.
I've spent a lot of time in marbella and estepona, for me it's a relaxed happy place. Lot of big drugs and money men on the go though.
Lots of people use tinder behind their partner’s backs unfortunately.
Haha.... ok. But people all over the world hook up. There is no negative connotation to one adult having consensual sex with another adult. That’s what a hook up is. Americans are very prudish when it comes to sex. At least that’s what my Argentinian friends tell me. So I’m not sure what “awful reputation” you are referring to.Hook up has given Americans an awful reputation. IMHO better not to repeat it or project it on others.
Hi, i'm new, and have been following this case.
It all seems highly weird, and while the Mum and Sister keep posting on their own face book pages that these two are missing and they've heard nothing, there seems to be no public appeals other than the Sussex Police FB page and a few newspaper mentions dating back to the beginning of April.
This article below was put onto one of the Sussex Police FB pages, with the suggestion it could be them, but the daughter insists it's not.

It does seem like a probable option, the only two reasons i can imagine for them not contacting family is that they are either dead or in custody.
The buying new sim cards thing is also slightly weird in that you would have assumed they would give their family the new numbers, their contact number while they were away.
Neither seem to be registered on missing persons websites, and there doesn't seem to be anything apart from the Olive Press articles in spain. If it was your relatives that had gone missing, you would be out there putting posters up, leaflets, getting them mentioned on tv and radio.
It seems very quiet and because the Sussex Police page says dial 999 if you see them, rather than 101, i'm thinking there is way more to this.

I'm not sure what type of vibe I'm getting with this case but I did want to comment on the sim cards.
I have traveled abroad many summers. The first couple years we just used wifi because as many of you stated...it's widely available and free. Super inconvenient though because as soon as you step away from wifi you don't have a GPS. You haven't a clue how close the uber guy is. So we learned about buying pre-paid sim cards in the country we were visiting. Love it. Wouldn't go without it now.
It could be as simple as this with these folks. It's crazy expensive to use it to make calls or text so we've never given the numbers out to family...only used it for data and gps mostly.

Yes you would just take yours out and insert the new one for the trip. Some phones even have dual SIM slots.Do you then swap SIM cards in and out in order to make\receive phone calls? I have no idea if swapping is even possible.
Do you just do a SIM card for one phone, leaving one connected to home? Or do you stay in touch with those at home via email or some other way?
My new WS name should probably be " clueless in Wyoming."

My dad and his girlfriend Tara had split in October.
They were on and off although he was looking to have another girlfriend he was heartbroken and yes most definitely ready for a new life, but not one in which he would abandon his family and disappear.
They did rent a car, police haven’t been in contact regarding its whereabouts.
They were looking to put a deposit down on a property, and they were hoping to find one while they were away there.
Myself and other younger brother moved into a house of our own. My dad wanted a place in Spain and the spare bedroom in our house was going to be his base, for when he came back to see us.
It is obvious that these were the intentions to us as a family.
My defensive reaction is purely based on the fact my Facebook is being stalked by people who would never understand what this feels like! I am grateful for the people who want to help but some of these comments are useless!
I’ve also been in contact with the BBC I want as much coverage we can get: I want my dad and brother back so why assume that I haven’t tried to get it into the press.
Like you guys here it seems a lot of **** gets made up and this is definitely what I’m most worried about, I’m 19 years old! Why would I know how to deal with a situation like this?
Any USEFUL suggestions I would appreciate!
Just trying to give you a few suggestions, which you may have already looked into but I just wanted to link a few:
