Police have shared an update on missing The X Factor star Levi Davis two years after his disappearance.

Aged 24 at the time, the rugby union player vanished in 2022 after last being seen on CCTV in Barcelona on 29 October.

Following the sighting of him leaving The Old Irish Pub on La Rambla at 10:05pm, that was the last night he had any known contact with his friends or family. Police then began an investigation into his whereabouts.

Davis, who appeared on Simon Cowell’s singing contest for the celebrity edition in 2019, had travelled to the Spanish city from Ibiza with just £35 in his pocket and no change of clothes.

Despite a search involving police divers in Barcelona’s port, the court investigation came to a standstill. This underwater search came as a result of fears Davis was the man spotted by crew on a passenger cruise liner having difficulties in the water.

However, while the case remains open now, it is currently inactive and unsolved.

And this week, court officials confirmed their probe stays suspended and will only be reactivated if any new information comes about.

As per The Mirror, police said they aren’t planning to use the upcoming milestone anniversary of the former Bath winger’s disappearance to make a public appeal for information as they have ‘nothing new to offer’.

A spokesperson for the investigating magistrate at the city court which had been probing Davis’ disappearance said on Thursday (24 October): “There are no updates in this case. It’s still provisionally archived.”

The Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan police force Levi’s disappearance was reported to, also said: “Our investigation remains open but we have nothing new we can tell you about.

“There are no plans for a public appeal for information coinciding with the second anniversary of Levi’s disappearance.”

And a police source added to The Mirror: “No one is actively working on this case police-wise or in the courts on a day-to-day basis. That doesn’t mean police won’t look into any new information that comes their way. But the last big push was 17 months ago with the port searches.”

Earlier this year, Davis’ family were in talks to take part in a documentary about the rugby player’s disappearance.

A close source to his mum, Julie, was quoted in May saying she had been approached by a production company, adding: “We are waiting for the opportunity that affords the best chance of finding out what happened.”

Two Brits are reportedly missing after a tourist yacht has sunk in the Red Sea off Egypt.

The ‘Sea Story’ yacht, operated by Dive Pro Liveaboard, was carrying 31 tourists and 14 crew members who had left Marsa Alam for a five-day diving trip.

A distress call was made from the yacht before dawn on Monday (25 November) when it sank south of the coastal town.

It currently remains unclear why the boat sank.

While 28 passengers were saved by rescue operations, four Britons were onboard the vessel when it sank. The BBC reports that two are still unaccounted for.

Egyptian authorities say a total of 17 people are missing.

The Foreign Office said that ‘consular support’ is being provided to ‘a number of British nationals and their families’.

“We have been in contact with our members to see if they had any customers on the ship affected by this incident,” added a spokesperson for travel trade organisation Abta.

This comes after the Egyptian Meteorological Authority warned of high waves on the Red Sea and advised against maritime activity on Sunday and Monday.

According to the Dive Pro website, Sea Story was built in 2022 and is 44m long and 9m wide.

It has top speeds up to 14 knots and has two Doosan engines, each one being 1000 HP.

Sea Story, which is predominantly made out of wood, has ‘warning and fire extinguishing system; fire extinguishers; life jackets in each Cabin; two safety rafts for 25 persons each’ on board.

The ship can hold 36 passengers and has a total of four decks.

Meanwhile, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has advised ‘against all travel to within 20km of the Egypt-Libya border, except for the town of El Salloum, where we advise against all but essential travel’, due to conflicts in the region.

They have issued travel warnings for North Sinai, the northern part of South Sinai, the eastern part of Ismailiyah Governorate and the Western Desert.

The family of the woman who went missing from LAX airport have issued an emotional plea following the death of her father.

Hannah Kobayashi, 31, is still missing after her father Ryan Kobayashi, 58, who travelled to Los Angeles to look for her, was found dead at approximately 4.00am on Sunday (24 November).

Hannah was reported missing after she failed to get on her connecting flight to New York from Maui, Hawaii, at LAX Airport on 8 November.

The photographer was travelling on the same flight as her ex-boyfriend, who purchased the tickets before they broke up.

He is cooperating with police after receiving cryptic text messages from her phone about a ‘spiritual awakening’.

Her father Ryan was found dead at the bottom of a car park at LAX airport. Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said the manner of his death was suicide.

Hannah was last seen via CCTV at LAX airport, and on 11 November her aunt said the family started to receive out-of-character messages from her phone.

“We started getting texts saying that she didn’t feel safe, that someone was trying to steal her funds, that someone was trying to take her identity,” Larie Pidgeon told USA Today.

“Weird things, calling us babe, things that weren’t quite the normal way that she speaks.”

One message read: “I got hacked, stripped of my identity, I can’t fly.”

Another: “I got tricked pretty much into giving away my funds for someone I thought I loved. I’ve been on the streets.”

The family has since issued a heartbreaking statement on the ‘Help Us Find Hannah’ Facebook page on Monday (25 November), ‘urgently pleading with the public to maintain focus on the search for her’.

“Hannah IS still actively missing and is believed to be in imminent danger. It is crucial for everyone to remain vigilant in their efforts to locate Hannah,” they wrote.

Adding: “The Kobayashi family endured a devastating tragedy today. After tirelessly searching throughout Los Angeles for 13 days, Hannah’s father, Ryan Kobayashi, tragically took his own life.

“This loss has compounded the family’s suffering immeasurably.

“What the family needs most in this difficult time is for all communities to rally around them with support, compassion, and prayers.

“Please be considerate with your comments and posts.

“The trauma they are enduring is profound, and they now face the additional burden of grieving the loss of their family’s pillar and navigating next steps.

“Again, it is the family wish that the public keep the focus on locating and recovering Hannah safely.”

A British hiker who was found by the search teams hunting for Jay Slater in Tenerife has spoken out.

David Larkin, 51, was found by rescue teams on Friday (21 June) while they were looking for Jay, 19, who hasn’t been seen for over a week now.

The Lancashire teenager went travelling in Tenerife with his friends earlier this month.

As a group, they attended the New Rave Generation festival, after Jay decided to stay out with a group of people he had just met on Sunday (16 June) evening.

On Monday (17 June) morning, he called his friend and told them he was in the middle of a mountainous area having missed a bus back to the resort.

While searching for Jay, police said in a statement that they had found David, another Brit.

They said: “Last Friday, agents of this Local Police in collaboration with the Civil Protection mountain rescue team, rushed to the rescue of a 51 year old Scottish hiker, in the Asomada Canyon of the Los Carrizales neighborhood.

“Neighbours of the place, observed as said hiker entered from very early on through an area of difficult access not suitable for transit and after several hours passed without returning to the starting point, alerted the agents who were at those moments in the search for the missing young man, Jay Slater.

“Tired and disoriented he was located by the officers and rescue team who helped him get out of the ravine.

“We want to thank these neighbours for giving alert to this situation because due to the difficulty and lack of communication in the area, this hiker would not have managed to get out by his own means without the help received.”

However, David insisted he ‘didn’t need rescuing’.

“I think there was a lot lost in translation when they saw him and I explained to them I had water, I was wearing layers, I had my rucksack with food and I’m an experienced hiker,” he told MailOnline.

“I went into the canyon and I saw the helicopters looking and thought they were looking for the lad but I didn’t for one minute think they would end up picking me up.

“I think they want to show how good they are, but I certainly didn’t saving.

“I feel so sorry for the boy’s family and hope he’s found soon.

“I’m actually embarrassed about this, I had my poles and I know what I’m doing and I knew that if it could get windy I would take shelter in a cave.

“I know these trails, I’ve been coming here for years, so I know what I’m doing.”
