The kidnapping in Spain Alex was on holiday in Marbella with his then 37-year-old mother and his 58-year-old grandfather David. Due to domestic difficulties, both of them had been forbidden from being with the child at the time, but they had decided to go anyway, promising to return from the trip in two weeks. However, they never returned from there. The grandmother, Susan Caruana, and Alex Batty's guardians had hypothesized that the two had eloped with the child to join a cult and lead an alternative lifestyle.
