CCTV Appears Show Missing Michael Mosley Leaving Village

New CCTV of a man believed to be missing TV and radio presenter Michael Mosley on the Greek island of Symi has been seen by the BBC.

The footage appears to show one of the last-known sightings of the 67-year-old walking with an umbrella next to the marina in the village of Pedi on Wednesday, heading towards rocky hills.
The mountainous terrain is described as “not easy” by those involved with the search.
Dr Mosley, known for his TV programmes and BBC Radio 4’s Just One Thing podcast, vanished four days ago while on holiday – after leaving a beach on foot.
A search and rescue operation, involving helicopters and drones, continues.

The new image appears to show the man in good form and walking steadily, an unnamed police officer told BBC News.
This is believed to be one of the last two CCTV sightings of the man with the umbrella before he left the village.
Earlier on Saturday, firefighters started searching a 4 mile (6.5km) radius over a mountainous area that is surrounded by sea.
Asked if there had been any sign of Dr Mosley, he said there has been “nothing”.
One theory that has emerged was that Dr Mosley was trying to take a much longer route than previously thought, passing over miles of exposed hillside.
Dr Mosley’s accommodation was in the main town about 1 mile from Pedi.

Dr Mosely’s movements have been pieced together from a series of CCTV images.
A man believed to be the broadcaster was seen on Pedi’s main street holding an umbrella about 20 minutes after leaving the beach.
A member of the rescue team described the search as a “race against time” and said he could be “anywhere”.
His four children have arrived on Symi to help with the search. His wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley has also been searching the island joined by her British friends, Symi’s mayor said.

All patrol boats, private boats and commercial boats near the island have been searching for Dr Mosley, Symi’s coastguard said, while police and firefighters have been using drones and a sniffer dog to try to locate the missing presenter.
Divers have been “looking into the water” with the help of the Hellenic Coast Guard.
Symi’s mayor Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas said the search will continue until Dr Mosley is found.
He added he was unsure why the missing presenter would try to make a long, potentially arduous journey in such heat, but he hoped the presenter is found “safe and alive”.
Greek police said Dr Mosley left his wife on the beach on Wednesday, before setting off on a walk to the centre of the island.
His phone was found where he was staying with his wife, who reported him missing, a police spokesperson told BBC News.
