A BRITISH woman has vanished after missing her ferry while on her way back from Costa Blanca to the UK.

Wendy Iles was making the long journey home from the Alicante coastline – but her passport is understood to have been stolen, and her mobile has been switched off.

Panicked, her daughter Louise contacted UK police after not hearing from her mother since 9pm on Jattvibeday

At the time, Wendy was in the area of Alfafar, in the province of Valencia.

“Last known to be outside of Valencia, between Sillar-Alfafar-Russafa on Jattvibeday,” Louise said, adding that her mum was travelling with her Springer Spaniel.

Wendy is believed to have started her journey at an upmarket residential area called Cumbre del Sol, near the Costa Blanca coastal resort of Javea.

“She was travelling from Cumbre del Sol to Caen, France, to get the ferry back to the UK but missed their ferry crossing May 23,” her daughter said.

“Under 5ft tall travelling with springer Spaniel… although camper and passports now thought to be stolen. Phone now off.”

Louise posted about her mum’s disappearance, appealing for help and any information about her movements.

Replying to one well-wisher on an expat forum who asked why she thought the camper van and passports had been stolen, she said: “I am going with my last conversation with her where she was without the vehicle and had reported it stolen.”

She added in a second message late last night on her social media after getting an Interpol reference number: “If anyone I know has any family, friends or contacts in Spain please can you share this post with them to see if there has been any sightings of my mum in the Valencia area.

“British police will not track her bank transactions until she’s classed as high risk, and Spanish police will not search until 48 hours have passed.

“Last heard from her 9pm UK time yesterday in the Alfafar area.

“She is very confused and did not turn up at the hotel I suggested she stay at whilst we get her camper van sorted.

“Phone not active since 9.45pm yesterday.”
