A Spanish crime unit has taken over the “disturbing” case of missing rugby star Levi Davis.

Mr Davis was last seen leaving a pub in Barcelona on October 29 after returning from a trip to Ibiza.

The 24-year-old officially remains a missing person, but his case has been handed to a specialist crime unit for further investigation, the BBC reports.

Catalan Police, known as Mossos d’Esquadra, said the case contains “disturbing” issues with “no logical explanation”.

A spokesman told the BBC the force could not share further details as Spanish law prohibits what can be shared on open cases.

There have been few official updates on Mr Davis’ case since his disappearance.

However, The Telegraph obtained a voice recording the rugby player sent to his sister three days before he went missing.

Davis is heard telling his family “I’ll catch you guys soon, 100 per cent,” in the last message he sent before his disappearance.

Candice Balfour, 23, shared the recording with The Telegraph amid fears he had come to harm.

She said: "We just want him to come home. I personally don't think he would see all this and not come home.


"There's only so much you can help him but I hope he's okay.”
