Kate’s parents had been back in England for several days when news broke explaining exactly why they hadn’t found Borrador in Bali. An indisputably clear reason: he’d been busted trying to smuggle 4.2 kilos of coke across the Peruvian border to Brazil and was now locked up in a dungeon-like cell in the middle of the Peruvian jungle. Because he’d travelled on a false Argentinean passport as Carlos Navarro Lanatta, it had taken authorities time to discover his real identity. He’d used the passport to leave Bali three months earlier – three weeks before Kate vanished – ostensibly to see his family, but in reality to do a drug run for Poca. He’d been busted 10 days after Kate vanished, so he had the perfect alibi.

The boyfriend of a British woman missing in Bali for more than ten weeks has been arrested on the other side of the world. Jose Henrici, 35, is in custody in his home country of Peru ... Henrici, a professional surfer thought to have links to the underworld, was arrested on drugs charges in the town of Puerto Maldonado in the Andes.
