On the island of Amorgos, a US tourist went lost while hiking alone. Greek authorities are now looking for him. Albert Calibet, 59, has not been seen since his buddy reported him missing on Tuesday afternoon when he failed to return after a trek, according to local authorities. According to Greek public broadcaster ERT News, a number of agencies are taking part in the search for Mr. Calibet, including teams from the nearby islands of Paros and Naxos and volunteers from the coastguard.
Michael Mosley, a British broadcaster, vanished on the Greek island of Symi a few days before, and his corpse wasn't discovered until four days later. The US State Department has been approached by the BBC for comment. Nearly 25% of Amorgos is under search by land and sea, according to the island's mayor Eleftherios Karaiskos, who spoke with ERT.
According to him, they have been searching the northern portion of the island with a drone and are also trying to find Mr. Calibet's phone. There have been no responses to calls made to Mr. Calibet, who the mayor said had previously been to the island. The mayor hinted that Mr. Calibet may have chosen a more rigorous path, stating that the trek he had started was crowded rather than strenuous.
According to local news sources, Mr. Calibet set out on a four-hour trek in the town of Aegiali on Tuesday at about 7:00 local time (00:00 EDT). The missing man's search comes days after authorities searched Symi, another Greek island, for days in an attempt to find Dr. Mosley, a well-known British TV doctor who disappeared after going for a stroll along the beach. Investigators determined that he died on the day he vanished due to natural causes when his corpse was discovered in a rocky region.
