'Mate, I've f****ed up good and proper.'That was the chilling final message received from 33-year-old Josh Rogers shortly before he went missing in the Spanish resort of Lloret de Mar last September.Sent to his mother's partner Stu, it was deeply alarming coming from a normally cheerful football fanatic, described by his younger sister Ashley as a 'very cheeky personality.''Josh was very bubbly,' she says. 'He was friends with everybody.'That happy disposition can be seen in a treasured photograph of Josh as a baby. Dressed in a little Santa suit and chuckling away at the camera, he remained as playful as an adult, despite being born with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, a hereditary neurological condition that made walking difficult for him.He also had problems concentrating. So he liked to plan ahead and allow plenty of time to find places, especially when it came to watching his beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers, the team he had supported since his childhood in the neighbouring West Midlands town of Walsall.On September 20, Wolves played a Premier League match against Leeds United and, although Josh had arrived in Lloret the previous night, he was determined not to miss a second of this important game. He had booked himself a table to watch it at Dave's Bar, one of the many British pubs in this lively town on the Costa Brava.On that fateful Saturday, the match kicked off at 4pm Spanish time but Josh never saw it. His final message was sent that lunchtime and three days later his body was found in a hillside woodland surrounded by sprawling Mediterranean villas, about a 25-minute walk from his hotel.Nothing about that location made sense. This was a young man seeking the cut-price hedonism for which the Costa Brava is renowned, not a neighbourhood of upmarket homes with only the occasional barking dog to break the silence.'He had no reason at all to go there,' says his mother Dionne, a 55-year-old teaching assistant. 'There's nothing up there for tourists. He must have been taken there.'Josh's phone, bank card and €600 in cash were missing and a local witness reported that the body appeared to have been moved before the police arrived. It seemed it could only be foul play.Yet within days, the Mossos—the regional police force—shut down the investigation, blaming Josh’s death on cocaine and alcohol exacerbating an underlying heart weakness.Josh's family have spent the months since fighting to reopen the case and with good reason, the Mail's forensic piecing together of his final hours revealing important evidence overlooked by the police. Just as in some other recent tragedies involving Britons in Spain.
