Drug mule suspect Melissa Reid left a series of cryptic posts on a social networking site before leaving for Ibiza, we can reveal.
One image published on the Instagram platform appears to show the 20-year-old from Lenzie holding a cheap Nokia mobile phone.
Beneath hashtag messages “#ibizaphone” and “#1daytogo” suggest the device had been bought just before Reid and close friend Rebecca Hughes departed for the party island.
The post also included the phrase “#wongamaker” in reference to the phone.
Another image uploaded on Reid’s Instagram account shows her and Rebecca Hughes together at Prestwick Airport before leaving for Ibiza.
Standing next to each other outside the departure area, the pair appear relaxed.
A series of cryptic messages also accompany the post including “Dinnae dae it hen#gottabadfeeling”.
Reid and Michaella McCollum Connolly were arrested trying to board a flight to Spain with cocaine worth £1.5million.
The 20-year-olds were denied bail over fears they may flee the country and have been transferred to Lima’s Virgen de Fatima jail.
Melissa’s family have set up a fund on Facebook to help pay for visits.
But the page, believed to be run by Melissa’s aunt, has already angered many users.
Last night, the family posted how they’ve sent “a wee note to Melissa and told her about this page and about the wonderful support and as soon as I hear anything I’ll let you know.”
Meanwhile it has emerged Peruvian prosecutors have failed to ask their Spanish counterparts to help examine a crucial piece of evidence in the case against the girls.
Last week images of the pair smiling in the sunshine and wearing bikinis emerged.
The photographs appeared to contradict their claims they’d never met before being forced to smuggle cocaine out of the South American country.
But the women insisted they had no choice but to pose for the snaps in Lima to convince border control officers they were holiday makers.
Drug prosecutors insisted the pictures would be forensically examined to test their authenticity as it is winter in Peru.
However, The Sunday Post can reveal Spanish Police have not been contacted to establish if they’d actually been taken in Ibiza rather than Peru.
A spokesman for Spain’s Guardia Civil said: “We’ve not been asked to investigate this picture.”
If convicted Reid and Belfast-born McCollum Connolly face up to 15 years in prison.
