It's been almost half a year since rugby player Levi Davis disappeared in Barcelona and his whereabouts are still unknown. Each time, however, he gains more strength than the British, a celebrity in his country for also participating in reality shows such as X Factor, would have drowned at dawn on October 30, when he lost track in the Catalan capital.
Through a statement issued this week to the media, the Davis family reported that the Mossos d'Esquadra suspect that the person sighted that night at sea, at the entrance to the south mouth of the port of Barcelona, would be the sportsman from 24 years. It was a line of investigation already open, but it was reaffirmed after investigations confirmed that his mobile phone last emitted a signal "at the end of the port closest to the entrance to the sea."
Julie, Levi's mother, explained that the Catalan police explained to her that he returned to the port, where he had arrived the morning of that same day on a ferry from Ibiza. She also went to the port facilities where, weeks later, his documentation would be found.
Levi Davis would have returned to the port after leaving an Irish pub on the Rambla. He passed before by Plaza Catalunya, where the security cameras of the Hard Rock Café captured the last images of the rugby player. Since then no one has seen him again. The fact that friends reported Levis's disappearance late made it difficult to reconstruct the events, since many establishments had already deleted the recorded images.
Hours later, four people spotted a person in the water in the early morning of October 30. He called for help in English and was dressed in a white T-shirt, like Davis himself. Around half past six, a crew member of the MSC cruise alerted that he had seen a person in the water. The company verified that the sensor alarm that detects falls from the boat was not activated and, after the count, the Civil Guard deactivated the search.
The Mossos investigation is still open, waiting for the port police to authorize new searches in the waters and other areas of the facilities. The Catalan police have always distanced themselves from theories put forward by private investigators.
After she went missing, Davis's family contacted British celebrity detective Gavin Burrows to try to find out what had happened. The player, a media star in the United Kingdom, had fallen out of favor some time ago, in a spiral of parties and bad company that took him away from rugby.
Some of these private investigations pointed to possible debts with the Somali mafia, deceit through a false identity, or extortion for the dissemination of a sex video on the Grindr social network. The family decided to do without Burrows' services due to the lack of evidence provided during this time and dismissed these theories as "false".
In February, a video of the former rugby player who recorded to denounce that he was being blackmailed by a group of criminals was leaked. "My life is in danger," he said.
