Overview
- Lee Andrews failed to board a planned flight from Dubai and last contacted his wife by FaceTime on 13 May, prompting a missing‑person report and consular support from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
- Andrews’s father has told media his son is ‘under arrest’ in Dubai while Katie Price has publicly rejected that claim and described her husband as still missing.
- Messages and a FaceTime attributed to Andrews said he was detained, had his hands tied and was being taken to a ‘black site,’ and the family say he carried multiple phones, one of which reportedly showed renewed activity.
- Dubai police were quoted as saying there are ‘many cases against him,’ but no independent public confirmation of Andrews’s detention location, formal charges or custody status has been released.
- Police contact with Price has been frequent and she has been asked to consider a televised appeal; intense tabloid coverage and conflicting digital traces continue to complicate verification and the investigation.
