checked into the Novochoro Apartments, a tourist resort consisting of 31 units, shortly before he went missing. A manager there said late this afternoon: “The police are doing their job and

I’m sure we’ll have good news soon. “But it’s obviously concerning because this gentleman will have been missing for 48 hours come tonight. “He was with a group of male friends. “I

information on his whereabouts his sister had published earlier in the day. Portuguese police could not be reached for an immediate contact this afternoon. Other British holidaymakers
