THE owner of the Dubrovnik hostel where Britt Lapthorne stayed has denied she was seen trying to post an Australian passport the day after the backpacker went missing.

An anonymous caller last week told Ms Lapthorne's father, Dale, that he had seen Milka Perkovic trying to mail the passport at a post office.

Mrs Perkovic's children said yesterday she had in fact sent the forgotten passport of another guest. "Our mother did not try to post Britt's passport." -- SELMA MILOVANOVIC
