On October 29, 2022, the ex-winger, who was 24 at the time of his disappearance, was last spotted in Barcelona at The Old Irish Pub. He most likely drowned at sea, according to local detectives who ultimately closed the case.
However, journalists at Byline Times have now made new claims regarding a scheme to blackmail him.
Julie Davis, his mother, told the outlet: “I think Levi was a victim of crime in the UK and Spain, and we have felt abandoned by the police. A lot of things don’t make sense.
I’m going to stand up for what’s right.
They made every effort to locate Jay Slater and to look for and bring Madeleine McCann to justice. Now they must do the same for Levi.
“I will not give up hope until his body is found,” she continued.
In addition to claiming that the 14-month Byline Times inquiry revealed “serious failings” in the Spanish investigation into Mr. Davis’ disappearance, safeguarding minister Jess Phillips backed calls for a “joined up” police study of fresh material.
Mr. Davis, who became the first professional rugby player to come out as bisexual while still playing, talked openly about his sexuality and his struggle with depression after leaving Bath in 2020.
