Lee Andrews Declared Missing in Dubai After Final FaceTime and Texts

The Foreign Office is supporting his family as conflicting official statements and unverified digital material leave investigators unable to confirm whether he was detained or has gone missing by other means.

Overview

  • Andrews was reported missing after the last confirmed contact on May 13 when Katie Price says a FaceTime showed him hooded with ties on his hands and he told her “they're coming back for me.”
  • Price has shared final texts in which Andrews wrote he had been “arrested,” was in a van and referenced a “black site,” material that has not been independently verified by investigators.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has confirmed it is supporting the family and is in contact with local authorities in Dubai following a formal missing-person report.
  • Dubai’s Criminal Investigation Department has told reporters it has no record of anyone by Andrews’s name being detained and some investigators have publicly questioned the kidnapping account.
  • Coverage highlights Andrews’s prior fraud conviction and disputed financial claims, a factor that has shaped public scepticism and could affect how investigators weigh digital evidence and witness testimony.
