Jacqueline hunt continues...

PALMA
THE family of Jacqueline Tennant, the 45-year-old resort representative from Reading who went missing while hiking in Majorca last October, is not giving up in its search for the woman who is believed to have gone rambling in the Escorca hills on October 9.

Jacqueline spent last summer working for First Choice in Can Picafort. A former member of the RAF, she was a fit, healthy and active woman and used most of her days off to go hiking and exploring Majorca.

According to a map found in her room, there were few places left for her to explore on the island.
A mobile telephone trace tracked the last call she is understood to have received to the Escorca area but the mobile phone mast in that region covers a huge area and the Guardia Civil search and rescue teams which have worked hard to help the family, had hoped that the mobile phone company would provide a more accurate location.

Jacqueline's sister Monique has battled relentlessly to keep the pressure on the hunt for her sister here in Majorca but has admitted that the family feels that it is being hindered by red tape.

Monique and Jacqueline were due to have flown to Jamaica to visit family just days after the 45-year-old went missing at the end of last summer.
Monique and other family members, including those based in New York, have been flying back and forth to Majorca as their search continues.
Monique has even hired the services of expert search and rescue teams from the UK and she will be soon be returning with a private detective and intends to charter a helicopter.

Monique is also considering setting up a charity to raise funds to finance the search. She wishes that the British police were allowed to get involved in the hunt and come to Majorca themselves to join the hunt.

Despite exhaustive searches of a number of possible areas having been carried out by the Guardia Civil, Civil protection and a small army of volunteers not a trace has been found of Jacqueline and Monique is refusing to rule out foul play.

Only one sighting of her has been reported and that was by a British couple who believe they saw Jacqueline hiking on the day she went missing.
Seven months and Monique is not giving up. She is doing her best to keep the hunt for her sister in the news and fresh in people's minds.
A documentary was screened on the BBC last Friday and she is maintaining close contacts with the press both here in Palma and in the UK.
