Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, wife of missing television and radio personality Michael Mosley, expressed her unwavering hope as the search on the Greek island of Symi continues. Dr. Mosley, 67, vanished after embarking on a walk on Wednesday.

“The past few days have been the most agonizing and unbearable for myself and our children,” Dr. Bailey Mosley said in a statement. “The search efforts are ongoing, and our family is incredibly grateful to the people of Symi, the Greek authorities, and the British Consulate for their tireless work in finding Michael. We will not give up hope.”

Dr. Bailey Mosley has actively participated in the search alongside friends.

New CCTV Footage Emerges

BBC News obtained new CCTV footage, believed to be one of the last sightings of Dr. Mosley. The footage shows a man, believed to be Dr. Mosley, walking with an umbrella near the marina in the village of Pedi on Wednesday, heading towards the rocky hills.

An unnamed police officer informed BBC News that the man in the footage appeared to be in good health and walking steadily. This has led Greek authorities to shift their search focus to this area.

The mountainous terrain increases the risk of falls or getting lost. One theory suggests Dr. Mosley might have attempted a more challenging route than initially thought, potentially covering miles of exposed hillsides.

Extensive Search Efforts Underway

Authorities are utilizing various resources in the search, including drones, helicopters, sniffer dogs, divers, patrol boats, and private vessels. Symi’s mayor, Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas, assured that the search will continue until Dr. Mosley is found.
