Lee Andrews is not being pursued by international police, a source has informed the Mirror - as mystery continues to surround the sudden disappearance of Katie Price’s husband, who has not been seen now for 11 days.
Missing Lee was supposed to appear on Good Morning Britain with Katie but failed to board his flight. Later, Katie claimed that she received a FaceTime call from the self-styled businessman, where he said his hands had been ’cable-tied’ and that he’d been bundled into the back of a van.
Later, the mother of five shared the last text messages she said she had received from her husband’s phone, with one message reading: "Been arrested, I’ll be in touch."
It had been claimed that Lee was being sought by Interpol, but a source tells the Mirror that’s not the case, adding that if he is being held by authorities in the United Arab Emirates, it’s not likely to be due to a report that was first received by Hertfordshire Police earlier this year.
In a statement given to The Mirror today, Hertfordshire Police said: "We’d like to clarify that Hertfordshire Constabulary received a report in March, however, once it was established the alleged offences happened in Dubai, we referred this case to the relevant authorities as this was outside of our jurisdiction."
In a recent YouTube video, Katie claimed that Lee said that his "kidnappers" have taken two of his phones but that he had a secret third one that he was using to contact her. The video was filmed a day after Lee went missing.
While filming relaying messages to an unknown person over the phone, Katie claims he told her: "They’ve taken two of my phones. They don’t know I’m on this phone." She added: "So he said, ‘I’ll just let you know I’ve been arrested. If they ring you.’"
Katie explained: "He wrote a text quickly. I mean, I hope he’s all right, but I don’t know," before showing herself leaving a voice note for her father-in-law, whose number Lee gave her just moments before he disappeared.
Since then, his dad has claimed that his son is not missing but is actually locked up in prison instead. He said over the weekend: "Lee is OK. He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don’t know on what charge. I’m not sure where he is being held. But he will call me later today."
Katie later branded that announcement "fake news." She said: "Lee is still missing. Me and his family know what’s going on and are working with the authorities involved."
