The family of Lisa Brown, a mother of one child from Alexandria, Scotland, have launched a fresh appeal in the province of Cadiz for information on her disappearance in Spain more than two years ago.

                                                   Do you know what happened to lisa Brown?

The appeal is supported by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Spanish authorities and is backed up by a reward of up to £100,000 from the family, which is supported by us.

Ms Brown was 31 when she vanished from her home in Guadiaro, Cadiz province, on November 4, 2015.

Craig Douglas, Ms Brown’s brother, said their family believes that there is a ‘wall of silence’ among the English-speaking community in southern Spain over his sister’s disappearance.

“We are sure that people know what happened and ask them to think of a little boy who asks every night when his Mummy is coming home. We also hope that the reward might persuade people to tell us what happened,” Craig said in a press conference in the locality of Los Barrios, in the province of Cadiz, to launch this appeal.

Roger Critchell, our Director of Operations, said: “The family are desperate to find out what happened to Lisa. We understand that people are not always willing to go to the police so we would urge them to contact Crimestoppers with 100% anonymity through our phone line and our online form.”

Roger also participated in the press conference, in which the British Ambassador Simon Manley said he hoped the launch of this appeal is effective.

“Citizen collaboration is essential in these kind of cases,” the Ambassador said. “Cooperation between Spanish and British security forces is another key element, and both countries have an excellent relationship in this field.”

Those with information can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 in the UK and 900 555 111 in Spain or via the anonymous online form.

The reward will be paid out to any providing substantial information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible or results in identifying the whereabouts of the body. The reward will be valid for six months dating from 23 March.
