My son had the dream life in Spain – then a phone call changed everything, I may never get the answers I need

A YEAR ago, Sandra Adams received a call that will haunt her for the rest of her life. She was on her way home from work on 22 July last year and she says at that moment her old life ended. 7 Breet Dryden was found dead in his home in Spain Credit: Supplied 7 Heartrboken mum Sandra Adams believes that her son was killed Credit: Supplied She was told that her only son Brett Dryden, had been found dead at his home in While Sandra says that at times the She is driven by a burning sense of injustice, because she believes Brett seemingly had the Read More on Real Lives They had a daughter. The relationship didn't work out and the couple split but Brett stayed in Spain to build his business and remained a doting father. He lived in the laid-back Spanish seaside town of Sandra, from Chester-Le-Street, says: 'When he moved, I was devastated but it was his choice. 'He had an amazing life there. He loved it. He had loads of friends and said he would never move back.' Most read in Fabulous But that dream life ended on July 22 last year, the day Sandra received a call from one of Brett's friends in Spain who had found his body in his villa. 'I couldn't believe what I was hearing,' she says. Tributes Pour In for Father-of-Three Who Tragically Died in Benidorm 'My world caved in, I was in utter disbelief and I'm still in shock today.' In a daze, Sandra, a carer, 56, and her husband and Brett's stepdad Rob flew to Spain that day. One of the friends who found Brett claimed he'd overheard the Spanish police known as the Guardia Civil saying they believed Brett had been struck in the head with an axe. However, the friends had been allowed to walk through the villa several times, which was potentially a murder scene. A post-mortem was performed the following day. It concluded Brett died of a pulmonary embolism, caused by a blood clot in his lungs. The case was closed. 'They said it was a terrible accident. He fell and banged his head,' Sandra explains. She was immediately sceptical. Rob had taken photos and video of blood stains in several locations around the property. Her suspicions were further raised when she went to see her son's body. 7 Brett moved to Spain with his daughter and partner but when they returned to England he decided to stay put Credit: Supplied 7 Initially Brett's death was ruled as accidental but his parents don't believe this is the case Credit: Supplied 7 'He was in the chapel of rest, and there was a huge wound in the side of his head,' she recalls. 'I knew in my gut that something was not right. He had other visible injuries. To me it looked like there had been a struggle.' The family have only recently been given details of what was contained in the full Spanish autopsy report. They hired a Spanish lawyer who gained access to official documents in the case. According to him, the autopsy report detailed injuries to Brett's legs, arms, head and neck and fingernail marks, cuts and bruises on his face. There were nail wounds to his lips and neck. There was also a four-centimetre wound to his head and bruising to his ear, eye and skull on his left side. Pathologists found internal bleeding to the right side of his head and 'intense encephalic congestion' - an injury resulting in the brain's blood vessels becoming swollen and congested. The report also reveals police had admitted to pathologists that Brett had been the victim of a home invasion. I just don't understand how we're nearly a year on and no further forward Sandra Adams The report stated: 'During the examination signs of a struggle were observed on the body such as droplets of blood in various locations on the body.' Despite all this the autopsy also said there was cocaine in Brett's system and concluded this was what triggered the pulmonary embolism and within a day of the original postmortem the case was closed. Still raw and in shock at their loss, Sandra and Rob did their own digging. They discovered several of Brett's personal belongings were missing including his mobile phone, his wallet and his designer sunglasses. In the days after his death Sandra used Brett's MacBook to track the missing iPhone which was still being used and pinged at several locations in the nearby town of Vera. She showed the police. Four days after Brett's death, with so many unanswered questions, a local court ordered the police to reopen the case and treat it as a homicide investigation. Sandra believes cops were hoping to sweep the death under the carpet to protect the reputation of the area, which relies on tourism. 'If they could have covered it up, they would have done,' claims Sandra. In addition to the phone location, the Adams also discovered potential CCTV evidence after Rob knocked on neighbours' doors looking for video footage. Sandra explains: 'One neighbour confirmed they had footage but under Spanish law they're not allowed to give the CCTV footage to anybody but the police, who now have the footage. 'We haven't seen it but our lawyer has seen reference to it in the police reports, which he says clearly shows two people leaving Brett's villa the day he died. 'He says the people were carrying what appeared to be the same type of bag Brett used to carry the takings from his club. 'What's more, the manager of Brett's club also told police that he was on the phone to Brett before he died and that Brett cut the conversation short with the words: 'I've got to go, they're here.''

While Sandra says that at times the grief is unbearable, she is kept going by her quest for the truth about the circumstances of his death.

‘Selling Sunset' Season 9 has a newcomer — Sofia Vergara's sister

'Selling Sunset' just got more interesting. Sofia Vergara's little sister, Sandra Vergara, 36, has joined the Season 9 cast of 'Selling Sunset,' Variety reported on Monday, July 14. Sandra will be one of the fresh faces featured in the Oppenheim Group's Los Angeles-based real estate show when it returns to Netflix following a drama-filled Season 8. 10 Sofia Vergara's little sister, Sandra, has joined the 'Selling Sunset' Season 9 cast. sandravergara/Instagram The 53-year-old Emmy nominee's baby sister is set to star alongside returning cast members Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani, Bre Tiesi, Mary Bonnet, Amanza Smith, Alanna Gold, Romain Bonnet, Nicole Young, and CEO twin brothers Jason Oppenheim and Brett Oppenheim. Sandra's no stranger to the limelight, though. While Sofia's look-alike younger sibling has a career in selling luxury real estate, she started as an entertainment journalist and was a host on E! with RuPaul and worked as a correspondent for People. This also won't be her first time on the silver screen. The 'Modern Family' alum's sister has also been featured in episodes of 'Nip/Tuck,' 'CSI,' and 'The Bold and the Beautiful.' 10 The 36-year-old real estate agent has appeared in several TV shows. Alex Berliner/BEI/Shutterstock 10 'Beyond grateful and honored to be part of this wild, wonderful experience!' Sandra wrote of her 'Selling Sunset' debut. sandravergara/Instagram 10 Sofia's younger sibling is an expert in high-end real estate. sandravergara/Instagram New people, of course, come with fresh drama. 'Selling Sunset' Season 9 promises to follow the Oppenheim Group family as they battle to sell multimillion-dollar properties to the wealthy, with the synopsis given to Variety reading, 'where new faces will bring new feuds into the Los Angeles real estate market. As the pressure turns up in their personal and professional lives, some might not have what it takes to keep their seat at the brokerage. As the landscape in Los Angeles quickly changes, everyone will have to adapt to a new reality.' But Sandra isn't the only newcomer to the O Group, as cast members have also been added a little further down south. 10 All eyes will be on the younger Vergara sibling but she's not the only new addition. sandravergara/Instagram 10 The O Group's Orange County show, 'Selling the OC,' will also feature some fresh faces. sandravergara/Instagram 'Selling the OC' has gained three newbies to the Season 4 cast, including Kaylee Riccardi, Fiona Belle and Ashtyn Zerboni, per the outlet. They will join returning cast members Jason Oppenheim, Alex Hall, Polly Brindle, Tyler Stanaland, Gio Helou, Austin Victoria and Brandi Marshall. 'Selling the OC' will feature the company's Orange County agents 'who are ready to establish their office as the top brokerage within the Oppenheim Group. As the competition heats up for some high-stakes listings, some may get burned as devastating rumors divide the team.' 10 There will be 3 new cast members in the upcoming 'Selling the OC' season. ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Ricciardi is a veteran in the industry, with 13 years in selling luxury real estate under his belt. He got his start managing high-priced short-term rentals during Coachella, which progressed into event-based rentals with affluent clientele. Zerboni is a former model and actress-turned-real estate agent, who has worked with the Oppenheim Group in La Jolla and Orange County. Belle is considered the greenest addition to 'Selling the OC.' 10 However, both shows weren't without drama last season. ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection At 23, the Orange County native just joined the company in 2024. She has 'proud Italian roots' and is 'a first-generation college graduate.' Both shows haven't been short on drama, with Bre Tiesi at the center of most conflicts on 'Selling Sunset' last season. The reality star — who was married to ex-NFL star Johnny Manziel from 2018 to 2021 and shares son, Legendary, 3, with Nick Cannon — was tasked with the dilemma of telling her castmate Chelsea Lazkani that her husband was 'making out' with another woman and even helped her former athlete ex find a home. 10 Sofia's sister has also been a correspondent and host of E! sandravergara/Instagram 10 The Colombian beauty's famous sister has yet to comment on her reality debut. sandravergara/Instagram During Manziel's cameo, he recalled the emotional toll his split from Tiesi took on him. He admitted to begging, crying and pleading with her to reconsider their divorce following rumors he had cheated during their relationship. Tiesi's co-star Mary Bonnet also aired out dirty laundry, but took a shot at producers when she accused them of orchestrating her pregnancy reveal scene. While Sandra shared a post about her 'Selling Sunset' debut saying she was 'beyond grateful' for the 'wild' experience, her famous older sister has yet to comment on her reality TV sibling. The Post reached out to Sofia's rep for comment. A release date for both 'Selling Sunset' and 'Selling the OC' will be announced at a later date.
