Gareth Bale family drug feud glamour girl Epiphany Dring back in UK after vanishing amid £1m cocaine-stuffed suitcase mystery

Relatives’ cars back  in Wales firebombed and family fear feud, thought to involve a Middle Eastern drugs cartel, will re-ignite now she is home

A MODEL who fled the UK amid a drugs war involving the family of   Gareth Bale’s fiancee has returned and is set to be quizzed by cops.

Glamour girl Epiphany Dring flew to Malaysia in September after a  case containing  cash and cocaine  worth £1million went missing.

Relatives’ cars back  in Wales were then firebombed and her family  fear the feud, thought to involve a Middle Eastern drugs cartel  hunting the case, will re-ignite now she is home.

Epiphany, 28, cousin of Welsh football superstar Bale’s fiancee Emma Rhys-Jones, is said to be lying low.

Sources said cops knew she was back and plan to question her about the missing case.

A source said: “Obviously she had nothing to do with the attacks as she was abroad but they want to know what she knows about this gang.

“Since she has got back, the threats and warnings have started flying about again.

“The word is  someone will be hurt in the next hit because the case and  money and drugs are still missing. It is a drugs gang  so they are not going to just accept they have lost £1million.

“A lot of places could be hit, including Gareth and Emma’s homes, and no-one in the family feels safe.”

We told six weeks ago armed cops guarded Real Madrid ace Bale’s hotel room in Spain before a game. Sources said the £86million ex-Tottenham ace and Emma, both 27, have hired permanent security staff.

They have a £2million home in South Wales plus their Madrid mansion.

Six of Emma’s relatives are in police protective custody and some may have to permanently change their IDs.

Former topless model Epiphany was living with her and Emma’s grandparents Eva and John McMurray when the case went  missing.

A  car on their Cardiff drive  was firebombed. Then two  were torched outside the home of Emma’s aunt Annabella Williams, 55,  in Flint, North Wales.

Our source added: “Things are going to get worse and the gang have said, ‘We are coming in to a house next time.’”

Emma’s dad Martin Rhys-Jones, 52, was jailed for six years in the US in August for money laundering.
