Young backpacker vanishes from Malaga as sister fears ‘something bad’ has happened

MISSING: Tea Nico-Lee Tammi was last seen in Nerja

A DISTRAUGHT sister is pleading for expats and locals to help find her missing sibling who vanished while backpacking in Malaga two weeks ago.

Madelene Tammi, from Sweden, fears her little sister Tea Nico-Lee Tammi, 23, who was last seen in Nerja on March 3, may have kidnapped or taken somewhere ‘against her will’.

“My heart is bleeding,” concerned Madelene insisted.

“The circumstances and details from friends she was with at the time make me believe something bad has happened.”

Madelene added that her sister had lost her passport and mobile and has no means of income.

Most worryingly, Tea, who is affectionately called Nico, deleted all her social media, which Madelene thinks means she may have been taken somewhere against her free will.

“She definitely would have contacted me if she had moved of her own free will,” added Madelene.

She revealed that an initial search by police in the area has ‘not yielded any leads’ and Interpol are now set to get involved.

Police in Sweden confirmed to the Olive Press that the case is being investigated by the Swedish Police Authority.

“National police are investigating this case but we cannot comment any further at this time,” a local officer from Eskilstuna, where both girls are from, told this paper.

Nico has several large stars tattooed on her left arm.
