The Team

 Professionally fluent in Spanish, Catalan, French and English and is actively involved in various killed abroad cases including appearing on BBC and MTV programs regarding the work she does with David Swindle.
Eva said "I was born in Alicante, Spain and  I have lived in Spain, France and the UK.The main areas of my professional career have been languages and customer service. I began to work in Spain in administrative export positions, handling official documents from countries where different international laws made it necessary to integrate and reconcile them.
In Spain, then in France and later in the United Kingdom, my main occupation was as an interpreter and translator.  Working for the Police, the Red Cross, NHS, City Councils and business, I assisted foreigners in social matters, in legal procedures and with public administration, health and commercial issues.
I started working for David Swindle in August 2014, initially with some translations in Catalan and very soon doing very different tasks in contact with victims’ families and stakeholders in various cases. Working in David's team where everyone goes the extra mile in their will to help those who are in a vulnerable situation, and where all our experience contribute, has allowed me to give and receive a lot, both from a professional and personal perspective.

 Fluent in Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and English and has worked as a professional translator in Spain for 25 years. Debbie is actively involved in assisting in several ongoing killed abroad cases, including cases in Spain and Mexico.
Debbie said:"Based on Spain’s Costa Brava, I’m originally from Walsall and studied languages at Leeds. I worked for UK companies dealing with clients in Spain, Portugal and Latin America, firstly in London then moving to Madrid in 1992. 
I’ve been a full-time professional translator in Catalonia for 25 years, translating mainly from Catalan and Spanish, and occasionally Portuguese. Voluntary work has always been important to me, firstly with people with disabilities (intellectual and/or sensory) and later in animal rescue. In 2002, I founded a Spanish animal rescue group that helps disabled pets.
I’m fascinated by human and veterinary medicine, psychology, and communication. I also have a keen interest in justice, crime, criminal psychology, victimology and open-source investigation. I started working with David Swindle after seeing the campaign about a local murder case he was working on (Craig Mallon). I contacted him in 2019 when trying to help a German family whose teenage son had died in mysterious circumstances while on holiday in Spain.
As a victim/survivor of violence in Spain myself, I have unfortunately had first-hand experience of the police/legal/court and psychological ordeals faced by victims of crime abroad. Although fluent in the language and familiar with local culture, I found it traumatic, so am acutely aware of the needs and sensitive to the difficulties faced by victims of crime abroad. I hope to turn a negative into a positive by combining my own experience and language skills to help people. So I’m thrilled to be able to work with David Swindle and his Victims Abroad team, with its diverse range of expertise and knowledge combined with a unique sensitivity and caring approach towards victims of crime and their families."
