Fugitive Drug Dealer Simon Corner Still on the Run After Mysterious Disappearance of Lisa Brown
Police are in a frantic hunt for Simon Corner, a notorious drug smuggler and prime suspect in the baffling disappearance of Scotland-born Lisa Brown. Known as a professional fugitive, Corner—who also uses the alias Dean Woods—has dodged capture despite his criminal past and time behind bars.
Lisa Brown Vanishes Without a Trace in Spain
Lisa Brown disappeared on November 4, 2015, from her home in Guadiaro, San Roque, Spain. She lived there with her young son. Alarm bells rang four days later when Lisa failed to pick up her boy from school. Police found signs of a violent struggle at her apartment, deepening the mystery.
Simon Corner Flees Justice but Gets Nabbed—Then Walks Free
Corner, Lisa’s former boyfriend and a luxury yacht dealer, was quizzed over her disappearance. Right after, he fled Spain. He was caught in Denmark in April 2016 and sent back to Spain. Despite initial jail time, Corner was released.
Shock came in 2017 when a Spanish judge cleared Corner of charges linked to Lisa’s disappearance due to a lack of evidence. This decision followed his arrest at London’s Heathrow Airport. The Brown family had begged for his trial in Spain, but their hopes were dashed.
Corner Jailed for Drugs, Then Disappears Again
Instead of facing trial for Lisa’s vanishing, Corner was locked up for his role in a €10 million drug ring, receiving a hefty 12-year sentence. But last year, on November 19, he vanished again—this time escaping during a day release from an 1.
Described as 5ft 11in, medium build, with short brown hair, brown eyes, and a 1, Corner’s escape has sent shockwaves through law enforcement. The Daily Record revealed underworld sources believe his sailing skills and multiple identities make him a slippery target, likely hiding out at sea.
