Police have also requested data from mobile operators in a bid to determine the man's last known location. Authorities have been unable to contact Calibet via either of his two mobile phones.
His disappearance comes just days after the body of well known doctor and nutritionist Michael Mosely was found on the nearby island of Symi. Search crews spent nearly four days looking for the 67-year-old before he was discovered behind a wall just feet away from a resort on Agia Marina beach. Amorgos is a remote island with a population of less than 2,000 people, said Leon. “It’s 30 miles from Santorini, which is the nearest place with an airport,” she said. “They can’t get the resources there to help the search.” None of the missing man's belongings have been recovered.
