Have you seen Petra or Ralf? They disappeared in Catalonia two months ago, leaving behind a series of unsettling clues.
Please help us solve a mystery.
A grey Volkswagen van belonging to Ralf Buchholz and Petra Gehde, both 53, was discovered unlocked on a street in the crime-ridden La Mina neighbourhood of Barcelona on July 19.
From Hamburg, Petra is described as 1.68m (5ft 6), thin, sporting dark blond hair with highlights, and a wrist tattoo, while Ralf is 1.67m (5ft 5), has a normal build, brown hair with some white, and is diabetic.
As well as their belongings and documentation, officers were shocked to find a dog and a cat inside the van.
They were last heard from via text message on July 16, and again on July 17 from an unknown number.
It is thought they were last seen on July 19 in the town of La Jonquera, near the French border. It's thought they checked out of a hotel in the company of a third person.
