Jean Hanlon, 53, was found dead in Crete after going missing in March 2009.
The family of a Scots mum who died in Crete 15 years ago have confirmed police in Greece are reopening an investigation into her death.
Investigator Haris Fluskounis handed over a 29-page dossier to prosecutors in Greece as he identified someone known to Jean as being connected to her death. Following the investigation, which took place in January, the family confirmed that police in Greece are reopening their mother's case.A statement from Jean's three sons reads: "I am over the moon to be able to announce that the prosecutor's office has accepted the report and have officially reopened mum's case.
“Now the case will be solved. We have identified the person that killed our mum and the puzzle is nearly complete. The authorities have no choice but to reopen the case. We then have to wait for a warrant to be issued for arrest. The evidence has always been there. It should have been done at the time. If it had, I don’t believe we’d be here today.
She had made new friends and had a job in the travel industry and did occasional bar work. In the hours before her disappearance, she spoke to friends on the phone after meeting a man at a bar.
