THE FAMILY of a missing British doctor last seen on the Costa del Sol has launched a desperate appeal for help in finding him.
Ruaridh (“Rory”) Tanner, from Harrow, LondonAccording to his brother, he could live isolated from the electrical grid from his car and sleeping on deck chairs in the Malaga area.
Rufus Tanner revealed in a statement on social media that Ruaridh was last known to have been in Nerja, east of Malaga, on October 25.
After that, the trail went cold.
Now, he calls on expats on the Costa del Sol to be vigilant and pass on any information.
He wrote: “My brother is missing, we received information that he was in Nerja on October 25.

“He may still be there, but he’s probably moved on.
“His name is Ruaridh (pronounced Rory) and he has an English accent.
“He is approximately 1.85m tall, has a caduceus tattoo on the inside of his left arm and is probably using and possibly living in his silver VW Polo.”
Rufus added: “As his family we want to know he is safe, tell him we love him and ask him to contact us.”
In a follow-up, it was suggested that Ruaridh could be seen buying supplies such as eggs and chicken, and exercising in outdoor gyms or sleeping on sun loungers.
People were urged not to contact him themselves, but to call Rufus immediately.
In a Facebook group for Costa del Sol expats, Rufus added: “He is a qualified doctor.
“We’re not sure why he disappeared, but we just want to make contact.”
Supporters responded by saying they would share his plea for help, although one suggested: “They should report him to the police. He may be voluntarily out of touch or he could be hurt or in trouble.”
It was not immediately clear Wednesday night whether police had been contacted.
Ruaridh’s brother has thanked people who have offered him advice on how to talk to the police and a well-known Spanish missing persons association.
Last month, a British man missing on the Costa Blanca was found dead, almost a month after he went missing.
Marc Tulloch Hewson, 63, originally from Wantage, Oxfordshire, was last seen around September 20 in Torrevieja, south of Alicante.
His family and friends launched desperate pleas for help on social media and Spanish police also appealed for information about his whereabouts before confirming that his body had been discovered on October 15.
