The newspaper says Rory Clifford and Stephanie Harper had planned to relocate to Greece on Aug. 10, 2026. Having already shipped their personal belongings and completed all the necessary arrangements for permanent residence, the family was preparing to begin a new chapter after years of planning. Their eight-year-old twin daughters had already been enrolled in a local school, and the family was also preparing to relocate their three rescue dogs. The Mirror notes that the relocation project had been the result of more than 10 years of preparation and substantial financial sacrifices. Among the investments made was more than £10,000 spent to replace two kilometers of water pipes needed to supply the property.
