The search for a British mother who vanished without a trace during a yoga retreat in Spain has been plunged into mystery following the release of her chilling final messages.
Natalie Guna, 36, from London, travelled to Madrid for a spiritual getaway but stopped contacting her family on 23rd February. Her disappearance is now being treated as a potential criminal matter by the Spanish authorities.
In her last communication, Natalie sent a series of deeply unsettling texts to her sister. 'I'm not coming home,' she wrote. 'I'm not who you think I am. I'm not Natalie.' The messages have left her terrified family grasping for answers, fearing the worst about her state of mind or a possible outside threat.
Her sister, Rebecca Guna, recounted the harrowing moment the messages arrived. 'It was completely out of character,' she stated. 'The texts were just bizarre and frightening. We knew immediately that something was very, very wrong.'
Natalie, a qualified psychologist, had been staying at the retreat for several days before her disappearance. She was last seen by fellow attendees, who reported nothing unusual about her behaviour at the time.
Spanish police have launched a major search operation, scouring the rural area surrounding the retreat. Despite their efforts, which include reviewing local CCTV footage, no significant leads have been made public.
Her family is now desperately appealing for anyone with information to come forward. 'We just want to know she is safe,' her sister pleaded. 'This is a living nightmare. If anyone saw anything or knows anything, please, please contact the police.'
The case has drawn comparisons to other mysterious disappearances of foreigners in Europe, raising concerns about the safety of solo travellers on remote retreats.
