Speaking ahead of the third anniversary of the 41-year-old's disappearance from her boyfriend's yacht, Brenda Street also says she believes the police probe in the Caribbean has been hampered by corruption and desperate attempts to protect tourism.
And she vows to carry on fighting to uncover the truth until she gets justice for Sarm.
Her voice quivering with emotion, Brenda, 67, says: "I don't believe Sarm just went missing. I believe she was murdered. I want justice for her. I want to bring her home so I know where she is - she deserves that." VANISHED Former Flybe air hostess Sarm, from Essex, was living with her wealthy American boyfriend Ryan Bane on his £500,000 yacht after matching on dating app Tinder eight months earlier.
She vanished after a night out with Bane on the US Virgin Island of St John on March 8, 2021. Three years on, local police appear to be no closer to discovering what happened to her.
And Brenda reveals detectives have refused to speak to her or Sarm's father Peter for more than a year, despite their repeated pleas.
She says: "I think corruption on the island has affected this case. There's too many things that don't make sense and don't add up.
"When we went to the island. people wouldn't speak to us about Sarm and on the posters asking for information someone had gone round and scrubbed out the number to call. I know it could be to do with protecting tourism, but listen - my beautiful daughter has gone missing and I don't give a s*** about how it affects tourism.
The US Virgin Islands force is also callously ignoring requests for information from British investigator David Johnston - a former Metropolitan Police Commander of Homicide and Serious Crime who is now working for the family on a probono basis, Brenda claims.
