Please Mr Trump, order a probe into my missing Sarm

Mum of British sailor pleads for her girl’s ex to be quizzed

THE mum of missing British sailor Sarm Heslop has made an emotional plea to Donald Trump to force her daughter's US boyfriend to be questioned.

Brenda Street is desperate for answers about what happened to Sarm after she vanished from partner Ryan Bane’s yacht in the US Virgin Islands four years ago.

Ryan was the last person to see Sarm, but he has refused to cooperate with the authorities. And under US law he can remain silent.

Brenda, 69, says: “I think Trump is likely to do more than anyone else so far. I'd like him to push for the investigation to be done properly - to appeal for Bane to come forward and to order a forensic search of his yacht. It makes me very angry and disappointed that Bane has not been brought in for formal questioning.

“He is wandering around doing his own thing while we've put our lives on hold. If [Trump] could put out an appeal that'd be amazing.”

Alarm

Ryan's lawyer has confirmed that there is no fact indicating that his client did anything untoward whatsoever to Sarm.
