In a dramatic development, new CCTV footage has emerged showing the last-known sighting of Michael Mosley, the renowned TV and radio presenter who went missing on the Greek island of Symi. The 67-year-old broadcaster was last seen walking with an umbrella near the marina in the village of Pedi last Wednesday, heading towards rocky hills.
The Disappearance
Michael Mosley, known for popularising the 5:2 diet and hosting BBC programs such as “Trust Me, I’m A Doctor” and “The One Show,” vanished while on holiday in Symi. His wife, Clare, reported him missing after he left her on the beach and embarked on a walk to the centre of the island. His phone was found at their accommodation.
Search and Rescue Efforts
Local authorities swiftly launched a search operation, which now includes divers, police officers, volunteers, and firefighters. A helicopter from Athens has been deployed to assist in the search. Drones are scouring hard-to-reach areas, and a police sniffer dog is aiding the efforts.
The Pedi Area Focus
The search is centred around the Pedi area of Symi, where a woman reported seeing Mosley on the day of his disappearance. The island’s mayor, Eleftherios Papakalodoukas, remains hopeful but acknowledges the challenges. “It is a very small, controlled area, full of people,” he said. “If something happened to him there, we would have found him by now.”
