James “Jimmy” Gracey is still missing in Barcelona, and just as the search intensifies, his family has revealed a disturbing update.The 20-year-old University of Alabama student’s phone has reportedly been recovered — not by chance, but after Spanish police detained an individual, raising serious new questions about what may have happened the night he vanished.The search for James “Jimmy” Gracey is taking a troubling turn.The 20-year-old was last seen around 3 a.m. Tuesday on surveillance footage leaving a popular nightclub in Barcelona — not alone, but with an unidentified person after a night out with fraternity brothers.In a chilling development, his phone was recovered by Spanish police after another person was taken into custody, a family spokesperson told Fox News.
However, it’s still unclear whether the arrest is directly connected to Gracey’s disappearance.We don’t know whether [the phone] was lost, stolen, whatever,” his aunt, Beth O’Reilly, told NewsNation. “Beyond that, we don’t have a lot of additional information right now.”Authorities have remained tight-lipped, declining to share details about the person found with the phone or whether they are linked to the case.Investigators are now analyzing the device’s location data in an effort to retrace Gracey’s movements after he left the club.Another chilling update emerged Thursday from Spanish police in the search for Gracey. Authorities say the missing 20-year-old’s wallet was found floating in the water off the coast of Barcelona.Police confirmed that his wallet had been recovered from the sea near Somorrostro Beach — a development that has intensified concerns about what may have happened after he disappeared.
