In the context of the OP asking why only one family member had been speaking publicly and querying why others weren't speaking out at the time. I noted that in the cases I have been associated with (not in the USA) it is usually recommended that families select one person to act as focus point for media. One reason is try to shield people from any media frenzy that develops.
That was me. I get why one person is appointed, but I was talking about the early days and it seemed like nobody else was doing anything. You would imagine that friends and family would be posting on their own social media pages, sharing news articles etc. Maybe I missed it, but it seemed there was silence on any front besides the sister being quoted in MSM.

People may be scared to talk out.
 
The family of a missing man who has disappeared after travelling to Spain for a holiday believe he was killed by a 'friend' who has now fled the country.

True, but in the very early days it seemed to be just a missing person case. At least that was what the media and sister portrayed. Maybe the whole family had fears for his life because of the bad company he'd fallen in with. (I hate the phrase "fallen in" - it's like the person had no accountability for their actions)

UDA threat to kill desperate family of Belfast man missing in Spain
<sbm> The desperate family of murdered Belfast man John George are under threat from loyalist paramilitaries.

The family have been warned their lives are in danger from the South East Antrim UDA, the ruthless breakaway faction of the terror group. John’s brother Darren says they were warned of the threat recently, and they’re taking it seriously.

“We were told before we came over that John was shot dead, by this man who is definitely connected to a group. “He sent word back home that he had shot John and he was lying in a lemon field. The day he shot John was the 15th. Then people came out to clean up.”

The heartbroken family are in Alicante searching for his body, certain that John was murdered in the Spanish city in mid-December. The man they believe carried out the killing is a Northern Ireland drug dealer who is affiliated to the South East Antrim UDA. <sbm>

Exactly why I said people may be scared to talk about.

These paramilitaries and OCG's either usually run in the same circles or are one and the same.
 

Came upon this article tonight, curious if it may have some bearing on the reason he thought he was over in Alicante before something happened?

My gut feeling is that John was in Spain for reasons that are not connected with the Only Fans site.

Yes definately. But these two, Madison and Jonny, can't go home to their place in Cabo Roig and have also had threats not to return to NI. Got to be connected somehow - or - it's all massive misunderstanding and 'social media rumours' which she speaks off have grown more than legs.

My guess is that Madison hasn't been physically involved in John's disappearance. She may know what happened to him, of course. If she does, whether she spills the beans or stays silent, she probably feels her life is in danger. Even if she knows absolutely nothing, there are many people who simply won't believe that she knows nothing. She's in a bit of a pickle.

As for the rest of it, there are possibilities which exist on more levels than my brain can deal with!

Yes I don’t think it’s much more than bad luck and John spent a bit of time hanging out with them as they are mates from way back at home.
 
Sunday Life revealed this week that the pair create explicit adult content on OnlyFans together, some of which was filmed in their Cabo Roig pad near Alicante.

Ms Allen, from Newtownabbey in north Belfast, advertises the content on social media under the name Madi Alia Allen, posting dozens of sexual images and videos.

She teases some of the content to her 1,600 followers on X, with her bio reading: “Your new fav, hot 5ft brunette content creator, click to see all my spicy content.”

Subscribers can pay to access her OnlyFans page for £15 per month, where she posts uncensored content.

Many of the adult clips feature her older boyfriend Mr Smyth, who was a close friend of John George, also known as John Hardy.

She describes herself in her bio as: “Your favourite little sweet sexy 19-year-old living in Spain.

“5ft green eyed brunette what more could you ask for... subscribe to see the naughty side of me. B/G (boy/girl) and plenty more!”

Speaking in a TikTok video last week, Ms Allen said she was “sick and tired” of all the rumours about John George’s disappearance and said that she had nothing to hide.

“I have not been hiding or fleeing. I’ve been where I am right now. I’m not far away from my house,” the 19-year-old said following a two-week break from social media.

“I’m just coming on (to social media) to clear up some rumours that I’m sick of hearing. I’m not running, I’m not fleeing.

“The police back home have advised me to stay here until it is safe. I can’t go back to Northern Ireland because my whole family is in danger - and even more so me.”

Miss Allen claims she has had “30 death threats” issued against her at home and in Spain but didn’t say who had made the threats.

“Police advised me to stay safe and while I’m here, staying safe, I have told the family every bit of information I know.

“The British police know I’m helping and I’ve got nothing to do with it.

“But right in this moment in time, no one is safe, especially me, until John is found, so I pray he’s found, I really do, so my life can go back to normal and we can get back to our dogs.

“The other rumour I want to clear up is that my dogs have not been abandoned at all. Never in my life would I do that.”

“We only moved house for our dogs,” she said, adding that the six XL Bullies she owns are with the police.

She continued: “I asked (the family) did they want me to tell the Spanish police what I told them and they said yes.

“So the Spanish police were (called) and I’m also waiting on them ringing back.

“They don’t want to meet up with me, because they know I am safe here until John is found.

“No dogs have been abandoned, no one’s fleeing the country. Hopefully John is found this week. Please say a prayer for his family.”

Ms Allen’s partner Jonny Smyth has also been in contact with John George’s family since his disappearance.

John’s sister Courtney George previously told the Belfast Telegraph: “I contacted Jonny and asked him, ‘Do you know where my brother is?

“He said, ‘No, me and him went our separate ways, I don’t know where he is, I think he went to meet boys out in Benidorm’.

“I just got a bad feeling about it and went back to Jonny who said, ‘I don’t know where he is, all he wanted to do was drink and I have a business to run’.”
 


In another emotional video posted on Facebook on Monday, Billy George said: "Another day and another nightmare we are living. Why won't they just give the body up and we get out of here, please. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I've never begged for anything in my life but if you want me to get on my hands and knees, I'll beg.

"Just give me John's body. If you have a conscience, just give me the body. This is just a living nightmare for me, his mother, his brother and sisters and his family. You don't know how much yous are hurting us, Whatever it is, whatever went wrong, just give me the body. Please, please, please, I can't keep begging yous, I just need my son. I just want to bring my son home."

I checked out the Twitter/X page. Some of the photos/video stills (fortunately censored) posted even as recently as Nov 2024 are from a property (and pool) in Spain, but definitely not the same property that was searched where a police car was pictured parked at the end of the road - the property searched was also not in Cabo Roig.

The property searched was a modern ground floor flat/apartment. The property where some of the photos/videos were taken and posted on X is older and larger, with some photos taken on a 1st/maybe 2nd floor enclosed balcony.

Jonny Smyth has 2 properties on the Orihuela Costa?
 
The family of the missing father of two received a call from the Cuerpo de la Guardia Civil just before 5pm UK time saying they had located a body.

While formal identification is due to take place, it is understood through clothing and tattoos it is almost certain to be that of Mr George (37), who has been missing since December 14.

The family are said to be in a distressed state and have asked for some time to process the news as they prepare to bring Mr George back to Northern Ireland for burial.
