Shearer, who suffers from epilepsy and type-2 diabetes and requires daily medication, was last seen on March 16, 2023. He was wearing a Celtic FC shirt, white shorts, and Nike trainers with green and yellow stripes at the time of his disappearance.

She claims that efforts to engage with Spanish media and law enforcement have been met with limited success, and that the lack of communication has deepened their distress.
