The area is known locally as 'The Abyss'
The search operation looking for TV doctor Michael Mosley has been moved to a 'very dangerous' area of the Greek island where he went missing. The focus has been switched to an area known locally as 'The Abyss'.
Dr Michael Mosley missing: Live updates as wife releases statement on fourth day of search She described the ordeal as the “longest and most unbearable days” for her and their four children. The rescue operation, which initially began by Pedi Bay, is now focusing its search close to the "bottomless" network of tunnels near Agia Marina.
According to reports, Dr Mosley was said to have been feeling unwell before he went for a stroll on the island. The latest available CCTV appears to show the doctor walking with an umbrella near to the marina in the village of Pedi in Symi. Earlier footage from a property at the edge of Pedi’s small marina showed the health guru strolling towards a mountainous path at about 2pm local time on Wednesday.
The couple’s four adult children – Alexander, Jack, Daniel and Katherine – retraced their father’s last-known steps. They were thought to be among a small group, including some of their friends, searching a two-mile trail between Pedi and Agia Marina. Why did he leave the beach and his wife and friends? Why did he not take his telephone? From the CCTV footage, it’s also clear he didn’t stop for a drink in Pedi or take a rest. He seemed to be walking very determinedly. Surely it would have been better to stop and have a coffee or some water but, no, he decided to carry on.”
Officials have considered a number of theories, including that Dr Mosley may have fallen off a cliff or been bitten by a snake. CCTV footage shows a man said to be him walking with a purple umbrella, just over a mile from the beach he set off from. He and his wife were staying at a holiday home near Symi, the main port on the island, which is just 25 miles square and has a population of just 2,500.
