Mum of Brit, 25, who vanished in Sardinia a year ago says she's living through ‘never-ending nightmare'
THE mother of a Brit man who went missing in Sardinia a year ago has said she's been "broken" since his disappearance. Michael Frison suddenly vanished on the Italian island, where he had just arrived to do volunteer work on a farm, in July 2024. 5 Michael was reported missing in Sardinia Credit: Facebook 5 He vanished on 13 July 2024, just the day after he arrived on the Mediterranean island Credit: Facebook/@Cristina Pittalis 5 A year on from his disappearance, Michael's mother Cristina Pittalis has told Sky News of her anguish over what happened to him. "I'm trying not to lose my mind," she said as she recounted the "He was in a rush but absolutely clear in his speech, I didn't detect any confusion in his state of mind." Michael, 26, read more in world news Cristina, who is from Somerset, told the broadcaster: "Human beings do not disappear from the face of earth without leaving traces unless … something extremely bad happened to them." Her son had reportedly gone for a walk, and returned in a confused state and showing signs of heatstroke. After this, he went for a second walk - from which he never returned. His clothes and trainers were later found close by. Most read in The Sun Michael's mum told Sky News is was "extremely unlikely" he would suffer heatstroke as he had lived on the island before. It would also be "completely out of character" to wander off barefoot and leave his belongings behind, she added. Terrifying vids show flash floods surging through Italian towns leaving 1 dead She has now moved to Sardinia along with her other son, 11, in an attempt to look for Michael. Cristina, who is originally from Sassari in the island's northwest, said she is "extremely worried because there are no traces of Michael". Although a local investigation into his whereabouts is ongoing, Michael's mum wants Interpol to step in to help with the search. "It's a never-ending nightmare," she said. "There's no real accountability... I am here and I am broken." Cristina said that "during the past 12 months, the area was constantly searched, through woodland, caves, mountains" - but nothing was found. She is also calling for a woman from Jersey who is believed to have been with Michael in the days leading up to his disappearance to come forward with any available information. One of her friends previously set up a GoFundMe to help with the search that raised more than £10,000. The money was aimed at supporting various costs including travel, legal fees and awareness campaigns. Cristina further told Sky of the impact Michael's disappearance has had on his younger half-brother Emanuele. Emanuele's father died back in 2017. "He's devastated," she said. "The three of us were extremely close, the two of them, they used to do everything together." She added that for him "it's horrible, he lost his father and now he lost his brother." 5 Michael's mum told Sky News is was "extremely unlikely" he would suffer heatstroke as he had lived on the island before Credit: Facebook/@Cristina Pittalis 5 A local investigation into his whereabouts is ongoing Credit: Facebook/@Cristina Pittalis

Mystery of Brit dad found dead in pool of blood with phone missing in Thailand as even ex-cop left baffled by case
A GRIEVING father has been left frustrated and heartbroken after his former British kickboxing champion son died in mysterious circumstances in Thailand. Offshore oil rig supervisor Steven Russell, 45, was found dead at home in Dumrongsuk Village, northeast of Bangkok, just before Christmas .

That's because a Thai police probe, a UK coroner's inquest, and an investigation by a former cop all could not find a cause. John said he's now been left "desensitised" after having to deal with the grisly details of his son's death. He told The Sun: "From the photographs, he [Steven] was laying on a settee covered with a blanket, and the blanket was soaked in blood, on the floor was obviously dry blood. Advertisement Read more on world news "He'd been there for at least three days." Steven's body was found after neighbours raised the alarm on December 22. They alerted the village headman and the police. Upon arrival, the house was locked from the inside, preventing entry. Advertisement Most read in The Sun Rescue workers were called to get inside the house, and Steven was found lying on his back, covered with a blanket, on the sofa in the living room. Brit doctors in January were unable to confirm how he had died when his body was brought back to the UK for a formal coroner's probe. New CCTV of Brit 'mule' Bella May Culley 'smuggling £200k of cannabis' released as cops slam her claims she was coerced John said he believed it was unlikely that Steven's death had been caused by some traumatic and violent event. He said: "There was no signs of anyone breaking in. Advertisement "And the autopsy said that all his organs were normal, they were healthy, there was no signs of any traumas, you know, no punctures in the skin. "All I'm saying is there's like an open verdict in my mind. I can't even, if someone asked me, 'why do you think you died', the answer is 'I don't know', and I don't know whether we'll ever know." 8 Dumrongsuk Village is found in Pak Thong Chai district, northeast of Bangkok Credit: Alamy 8 Pak Thong Chai is home to 215 villages and is known for producing silk Credit: Alamy Advertisement But, the father said that nothing could be ruled out - even poisoning. "The only thing we couldn't prove is if he'd been poisoned. "No way to prove it. Having said that, he was laying on a settee, he was covered up. "If you were in pain, would you have gotten up or would you have just laid there? Again, I don't know." Advertisement The family has now been left trying to track down Steve's last moments to figure out what led up to his death. "What we're trying to do is put together everything, you know, to do with Facebook messages and everything, you know, to try and button that up. 8 Steven lived in a town northeast of Bangkok Credit: John Russell 8 John said his son Steven, was a devoted dad Credit: John Russell Advertisement "One of the hardest things was, I paid to have all his possessions sent back, and when I got them there was nothing there... we believe he had an iPhone, and we never got that back..." They're now trying to get access to Steven's social media accounts and speak to all his pals to see when he last messaged. Due to the condition of Steven's body, they believe he was dead for several days before being found. John said: "So obviously he died before the 22nd, probably around the 19th." Advertisement Determining when Steven died could be important to trying to figure out how he died. The inquest into Steven's death was held at the Norfolk Coroner's Court in January. Dr Laszlo Igali, histopathologist, said the medical cause of death could not be ascertained, according to A hearing in June again gave an open verdict on the cause of his death. Advertisement John slammed Thai cops who had been unhelpful in every aspect of Steven's death. "I got a message on Messenger on the 22nd of December, saying, 'sorry for your loss.' And I wrote back and said, 'what do you mean?' "And the person came back and said, 'didn't you know Stephen died?' And that's how I found out." The grandfather has also paid tribute to his son, saying he was an incredibly determined person. Advertisement "His ambition was to live in Thailand and work wherever." Steven had settled in Thailand in 2022, but had lived there on and off for a number of years leaving for extended periods of time to work on oil rigs. Steven had also been a champion kickboxer, winning the English and British WKU titles in the early 2000s. He turned pro and fought seven bouts with a record of one win, one draw, and five losses across the space of two years. Advertisement
