Missing British tourist is found alive and well

A British tourist who had not been heard from for a week was found alive and well after he caught his flight home on Monday. His family had appealed all last week to everyone on the island to keep an eye out for the man, whose name is Pete.

His family posted their appeal, writing, “Our friend has been missing since Tuesday the 1st of October last seen in Las Americas area… He’s called Pete if anyone’s seen him please could you get in touch his family are worried.”

Family members told Missing Persons Tenerife that he had simply left his phone in a bar and was unable to get in touch with relatives back home. This story, with its happy ending, has followed a number of unsolved disappearances in recent years on the Canary Islands.

Recently, it was reported that a 16-year-old girl is among the latest to vanish from the island. Nicoll Andrea was last seen on August 20 in Arona, Santa Cruz, according to the missing person’s database SOS Desaparecidos.

The teenager weighs 55kg and is just over 5ft tall. She is described as having long, wavy, brown hair and brown eyes. She was believed to be wearing a black skirt, a red top and black sandals on the day she disappeared.

Also missing since April 24 of this year is 71-year-old Marc Francis. The pensioner was last seen in Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, some five months ago.He is around 5ft7 tall, weighs 70kg and has green eyes.

One woman, named Andrea, who may be a Dutch dual national, has not been seen since vanishing earlier this year from the resort of Los Cristianos. An appeal was launched to find her last month.

At least 12 people are known to have disappeared from Tenerife and La Gomera so far this year, according to the latest figures.

The number of people missing since 2015 remains at around 28 in Tenerife.They include Oliver Heise, 23, who vanished two years ago during a solo backpacking holiday.He was last seen on August 4, 2022, in Monte de Esperanza in Santa Cruz. According to Missing Persons Tenerife, he is described as 1.85m tall with reddish brown hair and a full beard.

Many visitors to Tenerife are unaware of the dangers its landscape can hold. The volcanic island is filled with deep ravines and troughs, as well as dense forests that one can easily become lost in. This waning comes as authorities are working to identify a body that was found in a ravine in Tenerife late last month.

The corpse was discovered by a hunter in the so-called Barranco del Rey, at the height of Roque del Conde, and had reportedly been there for ‘some time’. The area is in the south of the island along the border between the towns of Arona and Adeje.
