The mayor of the Greek island where British TV doc Michael Mosley has vanished has declared there's "no chance" they'll stop searching until he's found. Symi's mayor, Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas, is dead set on continuing the massive hunt that's seen cops, drone-toting firefighters, and divers scouring the area. Through a translator, the long-standing mayor clocking in at 22 years expressed doubts about survival prospects in the scorching heat, which soared past 40C when Mosley went AWOL.
A sniffer dog could only hack an hour's search on Saturday morning because of the blistering temps, as the search kicked off again, he revealed. Mosley's four children have arrived on Symi to help with the search efforts. His wife, Dr Clare Bailey, has been combing the island with her Brit friends in tow, according to Mr Papakaloudoukas.
He described the terrain where Mosley is thought to have trekked as "difficult to pass" and full of rocks. Not to mention, there may be snakes, he added. One of the rescue squad branded the mission to locate Mosley as a "race against time" just this Friday.
The 67-year-old telly star vanished after heading out for a stroll to the island's heart on Wednesday. Mr Papakaloudoukas is holding onto hope that Mosley will turn up "safe and alive", saying: "All the community is so sad about this, (it has) never happened before." Firefighters began a thorough search of a 6.
5km (four-mile) radius over a mountainous area surrounded by sea at 6am, according to Manolis Ts.
