Arrest over Scots mother missing since 2015

A man wanted over the disappearance of British mother more than two years ago has been arrested.

Lisa Brown, originally from Alexandria in West Dunbartonshire, vanished from Cadiz where she lived in November 2015.

Simon Corner, who is understood to be from Liverpool, was held at Heathrow Airport on a European Arrest Warrant over alleged conspiracy to murder after a flight from South America.

Craig Douglas, Ms Brown’s brother, launched a £100,000 Crimestoppers appeal last month in an effort to find vital information to locate her.

He said: “We hope it’s a step in the right direction, I think there’s still quite a long way to go. We see this as as quite positive news, but it’s hard to get our hopes up too high.

“There’s still the underlying circumstances of Lisa’a disappearance. It’s bittersweet.”

The mother-of-one was last heard from on 4 November 2015, when she spoke to her sister, Helen Jordan, on the phone.

She was reported her missing on 9 November that year after she failed to pick up her child from school. She had lived in Spain since the age of 18, where she commuted to her job in Gibraltar.
