Lee’s cousin Gerard Doherty has told JOE that Lee was last seen at the hotel Ibis Paris Montmartre late on Tuesday (June 14) morning.

Lee was with his father and cousin in France, where all three were due to fly back home, but Lee didn’t show up at the airport.

“Lee’s father and nephew went for breakfast this morning. He was sleeping in the hotel room and, when they came back, he was gone”, said Gerard.

“They initally tried ringing him, but his phone rang out, before the phone died altogether.

“The hotel said he went out to buy a charger for his phone, so they thought that he might have gone to the airport, but he wasn’t there.”

Lee’s father and cousin remain in Paris, with Lee’s dad currently in possession of his son’s passport.
