I think it's just because it has been constantly on the News. It will drop off headlines soon and sadly that will be that.

I loathe comments that people are somehow 'ghoulish' for having an interest. We've all got relatives, we've all been on holiday it isn't a stretch to put yourselves in their shoes and wonder at the decisions made and why.

Yeh I'll admit I'm following this an find it interesting and sad at same time.
Some people are like what's the point in talking about it, nothing we can do...
Yeh but that's not the point.
Some people have no interest in talking about people they don't know personally.

Someone commented on his wife's most recent insta photo that they saw a shock of blue colour on mountains near the area. People have told them to just form the police

Well yeah if they see something they should be telling the police. Why wouldn't you?

Maybe he went into a cave for shelter and then went in deeper for water?

Instead of just going back to the hotel? It’s a small island

Lucimaya · 08/06/2024 20:12

Can't believe he still hasn't been found. It's been over 3 days now.

They are saying he changed path, why would he go on a longer walk in the relentless heat?

User14March · 08/06/2024 20:12

On the caves, apparently shallow/easily checked, NB blog linked on previous page.

Islands getting bigger every day.

HumphreysCorner · 08/06/2024 20:13

Myself and my teachers at school are hoping he will be found 🤞

Question: they’re now checking the cave system, but why would he be in there?

Locals have said that there's a network of caves in that area and he could have stepped into/fallen down a hole

Christ0nABike · 08/06/2024 20:14

@RainbowZebraWarrior the moors murders were near Manchester and nothing to do with the lovely NY Moors. But I do get your point!

Exactly! He could have gone for shelter in the mouth but as if he'd be deciding to walk for miles underneath.

Or... are we misunderstanding the entry to these caves. Could he have fallen in a shaft somewhere? It all seems so unlikely. If there was a huge risk then people would be getting lost left right and centre. None of this adds up unless you are to believe he headed into the mountains on some Rambo like mission rather than a man out for an afternoon stroll.

I'm here to discuss the different news reports, and goodness knows there's plenty and there's a lot of inconsistencies. Shame his wife isn't giving more away but i can see why she isn't. Would be good to know if he did say he wasn't feeling well or if he was feeling OK, and did he say he would meet them back at the beach or back at the villa.

Are you joking?!!! This woman and her family who must be worried sick owe you nothing. Absolutely disgraceful

Aquarius1234 · 08/06/2024 20:16

I just read online that people think he planned this 😐

Well they wouldn't be falling in left,right & centre since people avoid the area he's lost in because of how hazardous it is

PrettySenior · 08/06/2024 20:20

Maybe he started walking, realised the path was more difficult than he expected, started feeling unwell and realised he wouldn't make it back to the hotel and went into a cave to rest?

I'm really hoping he's found alive. Not only does he seem like such a nice man, he also worked so hard on his longevity while sharing what he found with everyone so we could, too. It seems so cruel if his life has been cut short anyway.

I think it’s unlikely but then I’d have said it was unlikely that Robin Williams would have taken his own life, too. We just don’t know celebrities as much as some people think they do. Fingers crossed he is found soon.

sunshinegrass · 08/06/2024 20:20

@HebburnPokemon his wife's insta is drclarebailey and it's a comment on the most recent photo. (Photo is unrelated)

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 08/06/2024 20:22

The most obvious explanation is usually the right one. He ended up in the water. Whether his body will ever be found will depend on the currents.

That photo has now been deleted from her Instagram account.

But somehow a man of MMs intelligence ignored common sense and ended up in distress where he shouldn't really have been. All seems unlikely.

What - online by who, people who know him? Shameful that you are repeating this with no substance. How would his family feel reading this?

Water then couldn't get out?

HumphreysCorner · 08/06/2024 20:25

Sadly and hoping not but I feel he's left his phone and deliberately gone missing. 😔

There's also people online who think the earth is flat. How have they come to the conclusion that he planned it?
