Perhaps once he’s recovered from his bypass we can add him back into this group?

He’ll definitely want us to.

We’ll see. What he wants and what’s best for him are two entirely different things.

MISSING WOMAN FOUND

Missing Florida woman Tiffany Ramirez, who disappeared from the Voyager Eclipse cruise ship in 2024 and was thought to have died by suicide, has been found alive in the Dominican Republic. She was discovered working in a jungle compound processing cocaine for the notorious Cabro cartel, alongside more than twenty other men and women.

The operation involved police forces from around the world. Ms. Ramirez’s father Guillermo said, “We never gave up hope of finding Tiffany alive and now she is safely back home where she belongs.”

Inspector Lascelles sent it to us. If he hadn’t, we’d never know the documents we forwarded contributed to Tiffany being found and reunited with her estranged family.

We should also send the link to Isabel Beck. When she stole those documents from Nicky-Rose’s envelope she ultimately helped trace and rescue a woman who had been abducted.

A drug dealer who ended up working for the cartel who “abducted” her!

Femi Hassan

Tiffany always portrayed herself as similar to whoever she was talking to: Nicky-Rose, Lily, Isla—all of them identified with something she said.

Charlotte Holroyd

It was what they wanted to hear. When she was kidnapped by her rival drug dealers, that quality probably saved her.

Sharon Collins

She’s a criminal.

Charlotte Holroyd

She’s a survivor.

NEWS BRIEF

Also publishing next year is Ocean of Lies, the true story of Tiffany Ramirez who, while working as a dancer on a cruise ship (a job she had talked her way into), was abducted by a drug dealer in Bridgetown, Barbados. There followed a nail-biting journey into the heart of the Central American drug industry, where Tiffany had to use every acting trick at her disposal to survive. She was eventually employed as a coordinator for a ruthless cartel in a remote jungle outpost, processing more than 3.5 tons of cocaine per week. After she was rescued, the district attorney cited the manner in which Ms. Ramirez had immersed herself with the cartel and recommended she be charged with drug offenses, until she successfully argued her case in court.

A dramatic tale of horror, deception, and ultimately, redemption. Film rights have been sold, with the script to be written by Ms. Ramirez. Ana de Armas is attached and Ms. Ramirez slated to star as one of the lawyers who argued for the charges against her to be dropped. She said today: “This is my tale of survival against all odds and there is no one better to tell it than me.”
