Fears are growing for a British tourist who has been missing for four days after a night out in Portugal’s Algarve.
Greg Monks, 38, had travelled to the party resort of Albufeira for a five-day stag do.
His parents and his girlfriend Nicole Ashleigh Kelso have now flown to the nearby Faro Airport to search for the Glaswegian as his disappearance is seen as ‘completely out of character.’
His sister Jillian sounded the alert on Friday, saying that he had last been seen in the early hours of Wednesday on his way back to the apartment he was staying in.
She wrote on an Albufeira website for UK expats: ‘My brother has not been since Tuesday evening.
‘If you are currently there and have any information place contact me with any info.’
Jillian revealed that police had placed her brother around Cerro da Aguia, a ridge overlooking the coastline, on the outskirts of Albufeira, on the night he vanished.
The hill with residential properties is more than an hour’s walk west of the Albufeira Strip where Greg is thought to have left his friends, whereas the Novochoro Apartments he had checked into on Tuesday night is a 30-minute walk north.
Responding to the wave of support from British holidaymakers and expats as well as locals, Jillian said in a new Facebook post late last night: ‘Hi all.
Thank you for all information and shares and we truly appreciate it. There have still been no sightings or no updates at present.
‘As previously stated, this is so unlike Greg and we are truly desperate for answers.
‘I am now seeking help from residents of the Cerro da Aguia area to please check any home cameras or doorbell footage around between 2am and 5am on Wednesday as police believe he was in the area around this time.
‘Please share this if you know anyone in the area. Asking for people that live in Cerro da Aguia that have cameras that cover the street or parts of the street to send me a message with their name and phone number.’
