Week
In Week Out: No stone unturned

ONE Wales, Wednesday 5 March 2003, 10.35pm
A new
sighting of Anthony and Linda O'Malley accompanied by a mystery
man will be revealed in tonight's (Wednesday 5 March) 91热爆 Wales
current affairs programme Week In Week Out.
The
man took the couple to view a villa in the hills behind the town
of Villajoyosa near Alicante in September and despite police appeals
for information he has never come forward to help the inquiry.
He
showed them around the property and helped them to start negotiating
a possible purchase with the owner. But while he purported to be
an estate agent he didn't leave his name or contact details, and
never contacted the owner of the villa again.
The
programme has now passed on the information to detectives from North
Wales Police, who were preparing to communicate the details to their
Spanish counterparts through Interpol.
Week
In Week Out, accompanied by Anthony's brother Bernard O'Malley,
gains access to the villa and speaks to the owner for the first
time.
The
owner describes Anthony and Linda as a happy and pleasant couple
who got on well. Bernard O'Malley says this finally scotches speculation
in the press that the couple had had a domestic dispute.
We
also uncover new evidence about the spending spree which stripped
the couple's bank cards of thousands of pounds in a matter of days.
North
Wales Police say they can now prove forensically that someone other
than the O'Malleys used their credit card to make large purchases
after 8 September. Detectives say the credit card fraud could hold
the key to solving the case.
The
programme follows Bernard O'Malley's journey as he attempts to uncover
any clues the police may have missed. Following information given
to the family by a psychic astrologer, he travels to the area surrounding
the villa in search of new leads.
"I
have never closed the door on anything. If it helps then all well
and good," Bernard says.
Week
In Week Out also examines the progress of the police investigation.
Spanish police are the investigating force and officers from North
Wales can only have an official input through Interpol. We approached
Spanish detectives to ask what leads they had uncovered but they
declined to be interviewed.
Det.
Supt. Alan Jones of North Wales Police says: "I can fully understand
the family's frustrations. I think one of the big issues for them
is a lack of information back from the Spanish Police, and it is
difficult because we have to deal with Interpol. We have to make
formal requests for information."
