PALMA
THE sister of missing British resort rep. Jacqueline Tennant, who went missing while hiking in Majorca last October, returns to Palma on Monday refusing to give up in the hunt for the missing 34-year-old.

Monique Tennant has been personally overseeing the search for the past six months and is now hiring a private detective and launching a campaign to raise funds to pay for the chartering of a helicopter here in Majorca.

Based on information gleaned from telephone engineers and communications experts in the UK, Monique is also trying to persuade Movistar to narrow down their examination of the signal detected from Jacqueline's mobile on the day she went missing. Movistar located the signal to the area of Escora - a vast mountainous area of Majorca - and telecommunication experts are adamant that a far more accurate and helpful location of the signal can be provided.

Monique, who is keeping the search very much alive in the UK with regular TV appearances and press coverage, is also in talks with a number of top British police and Crimewatch with regards to reenacting Jacqueline's alleged last steps on the day she went missing.

The Tennant family will be lobbying MPs in Britain and Monique will also be contacting the Balearic President Francesc Antich directly in a plea for help to convince the police here in Majorca to speed up their investigation.

Monique said that they are having little response from the Inca court handling the case. “We're still waiting to see the Movistar report and the disc from Microsoft containing information about my sister's last e-mails. “There are still too many questions which remain unanswered, the puzzle is not fitting together. “I'm not convinced by what I'm being told, I'm still suspicious because it is so unnatural for Jacqueline to just disappear with no trace. “I want the police to seriously consider and investigate the possibility that there is something more sinister to this case,” Monique told the Bulletin yesterday.
