What Happened to Levi Davis?
Levi Davis, a talented rugby player and former contestant on the UK’s X Factor, was last seen on October 29, 2022, outside the Old Irish Pub in Barcelona, Spain. He had been staying with a friend in Ibiza but left suddenly for Barcelona with only a small backpack, limited clothing, and little money. Three hours after arriving on the mainland, he disappeared, leaving behind his passport.
Initial investigations did not yield many answers, but recent findings have raised questions about potential foul play. Davis had posted a video on Instagram before disappearing, claiming his life was in danger. This video was quickly deleted, but a private investigator hired by his family managed to recover it.
In the video, Davis said: “My name is Levi Davis, and my life is in danger. I beg that you listen and try to understand what I’m telling you.”
Blackmail and Abuse Allegations
Davis made shocking allegations before he disappeared, claiming he had been drugged and filmed performing sex acts without his consent. The footage was allegedly used to blackmail him. These traumatic events reportedly began after his appearance on X Factor in 2019. He also claimed his agents advised him to resign from his rugby team, fearing the blackmailers would force his dismissal.
The Byline Times supported Davis’ account, revealing messages that suggest he was being groomed by a television figure in mid-2020. He was later drawn into a dangerous world of drugs and sex parties, where he was allegedly abused while unconscious. At one point, Davis was forced to pay £1,200 to supply drugs to a party under the threat of the videos being released.
The investigation into Davis’ disappearance has come under fire for several missteps. Spanish police initially believed Davis had traveled to Barcelona to meet someone from the dating app Grindr. However, they failed to secure cooperation from the app to obtain records. Investigators also did not check Davis’ messages on platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and OnlyFans, even though these were mentioned in early reports.
Levi Davis made headlines in September 2020 as the first active English rugby player to come out as bisexual. His heartfelt message to his teammates, shared over text, said: “Hi guys. I just want to tell you something that’s been eating away at me for four years now. I want to be open and honest with you boys, as friends and teammates. I’m bisexual.” The news was met with support from both his team and fans worldwide.
However, sources claim that Davis’ decision to come out was partially driven by a desire to regain control of his life. The blackmailers had threatened to publicly out him, and by coming out on his own terms, Davis hoped to take some power back.

A Mother’s Plea for Justice
Levi’s mother, Julie Davis, has been vocal about her belief that racism and homophobia may have influenced how the authorities handled her son’s case. She remains determined to find answers, stating: “Until his body is found, I will not give up hope.” Julie has called for the investigation to be reopened, as it was closed last year without any significant breakthroughs.
The new evidence uncovered by the Byline Times has reignited public interest in Levi Davis’ case. It also raises serious concerns about how the investigation was conducted. The unanswered questions, particularly around Davis’ claims of blackmail and abuse, make it clear that this case is far from over.
His disappearance remains a heartbreaking mystery. As his family continues to push for justice, the hope is that authorities will take a fresh look at the evidence and work to bring closure to this troubling case.
