According to the Daily Mail there was a sighting on cctv at 4.30pm which his wife saw and said was not him and the shorts were different.

The DM says the confirmed sighting we are using phos from "is timestamped 1.52pm and was taken from the Blue Corner in Pedi, a fishing village about fifteen minutes walk from St Nicholas and around a quarter of the way through the walk.
Footage seen by MailOnline from ten minutes earlier shows him carrying the same purple umbrella and walking past a cafe at the other end of the Main Street.
The video shows him walking towards the Marina part of Pedi from where he could have taken a boat back to Symi or carried on over the peninsula along rugged terrain with no shelter from the searing heat."

I wonder which footage she was looking at. Surely she’s seen the subsequent footage now. That’s definitely him. So he did make it to Pedi.

That’s basically the insinuation, is everyone thinks it’s him and she said it wasn’t,

Anyone want to open a follow up thread? This one just about full now.

Done

Delatron · 07/06/2024 16:15

Reports in the Mail saying witnesses who saw the discounted footage said the man was wearing the same colour shirt, baseball cap, rucksack and sunglasses. I mean The Mail quite often get it wrong but it’s bizarre that in such a small town there would be someone else looking and dressing similarly. We have to assume that there was though.

Reports now that he was seen at the port in Rhodes. Seems like he left Symi

Poettree · 07/06/2024 16:16

I'm really confused by your description as looking at the map of the island, Ano Symni seems to be on the coast, not inland, and has a port, I think.

If you go on google maps and get directions by bus from Symi town to Pedi you'll see what I mean - the bus travels inland through housing settlements between the two places (both on coast, Symi town is the port, Pedi is a little quieter beach with a few restaurants.)

Actually, scrap that, I think the supermarket is in Pedi, Symi

But that's from CCTV on Simi, not Rhodes. It's just being reported by the press in Rhodes.

This is horrific and mumsnet should take it down. Should all be ashamed of yourselves

People are obviously concerned about the poor man and it’s natural to guess at what may have happened to him. If you don’t like it then there are plenty of other threads for you to look at. Door’s that way ➡️ 👋

People were concerned about the woman who fell in a river not so long ago. SM speculation was considered not helpful at best and distracting/misleading at worst.

Feedbackloop · 07/06/2024 16:23

Good thing is it shows he made it back to the town. Hopefully he has decided to just off for a break somewhere and he is alive.

i dont think the greek police will be reading these threads nor do i think the general public will be dashing to the greek islands

LaBelleEtLeBadBoy · 07/06/2024 16:27

Sandy971 · 07/06/2024 16:11

I wonder if he’s known in Greece? He’s very into the Mediterranean Diet. I wonder if someone there has seen him and knows he is probably quite wealthy, therefore kidnapping him

Although what would be the point without telling anyone.

Hoping he has come to no harm.

Carly944 · 07/06/2024 16:28

Is everyone looking at simi on Google maps.

What beach was he at first?

BirthdayRainbow · 07/06/2024 16:30

I'm wondering if he has been found but the family wants to wait to release the news. Perfectly reasonable. As so many are saying he would have been found by now if still on the island.

But people are still searching?

PassingStranger · 07/06/2024 16:50

I wonder if he's been abducted? Surely he would have been found by now, if he'd just fallen down and hurt himself?

Which was completely driven by her family and friends who wanted it to have a high profile.

Where is the villa he was staying in, in relation to where the cctv was showing him?

He made it to the town centre, but where was he supposed to be going after that?

Is the villa he was using with his friends not in the town centre?

@PassingStranger I was quoting @Oaktree55

I know. I was agreeing with you.

I really don’t think this is funny. There’s a time and a place for humour and I don’t think this is at all an appropriate time for it. There are lots of people hoping he will be found safe and well - probably close to millions, and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration - and this seems a particularly bad time to indulge in a bit of black humour, however light-hearted it’s intended to be.

I'm glad you didn't find it funny because it wasn't meant to be funny or light hearted@Acapulco12, I was angry, I'm assuming you didn't read the post I was replying to correctly, maybe you didn't pick up on the crazy conspiracy theory the person has changed their name to suggest.

I can't believe that crass "Just that really. Will he be found?" OP hasn't been edited.
