Missing Sarm Heslop's Tinder lover suns himself in paradise as mystery continues

The lover of missing Brit Sarm Heslop tops up his tan – as the riddle over her disappearance continues.

Wealthy American Ryan Bane was snapped in the Caribbean some 14 months after Sarm was last seen.

Our exclusive pictures show Bane, 44, on a grocery run, jogging and at the wheel of a boat in Grenada.

The paradise spot is 500 miles south of the US Virgin Islands where Sarm vanished after a night out with Bane on March 8 last year aged 41.

Bane – described by police as “person of interest” in the disappearance of yachtswoman Sarm – has not spoken to police or allowed a search of the 47ft catamaran they shared.

The American, who has a conviction for assaulting his ex-wife, still has the vessel.

A local said: “Ryan hasn’t been seen since November but now he’s back.”

Ex-air hostess Sarm, from Southampton, met Bane on Tinder.

Under US law, Bane can stay silent and police must show “probable cause” to get a search warrant.

He was charged by coastguards with obstructing agents who boarded shortly after Sarm disappeared.

It is claimed he blocked a door.

Bane’s lawyer David Cattie has said his client is “heartbroken” by Sarm’s disappearance and had no hand in any wrongdoing.
