Four clues after missing Brit disappears from Greece sunbed - last sighting to 'danger'

The desperate search for a British woman who disappeared from a sunbed while on holiday is set to continue, with no signs of her yet - three days after she went missing.

Michele Ann Joy Bourda, 59, was last seen on a sunbed at Ofryni beach, Kavala in Greece on Friday, August 1. It is understood she went to the beach in northern Greece with her husband, who was asleep when she vanished.

When he woke up, his wife was nowhere to be found, according to local media. It comes after a girl, 3, was found dead on beach by a horrified passer-by.

The alarm was then raised by Michele's concerned family, according to Greek missing persons charity Lifeline Hellas.

Greece's Hellenic Coast Guard launched a search operation at sea and it was investigating the reports that her belongings were left on the beach. It is reported that three recreational craft, five fishing boats as well as two patrol boats have been involved in looking for Ms Bourda.

Here's everything we know so far about Ms Bourda's disappearance.

Last sighting

Michele is described as having straight blonde hair down to her shoulders, hazel eyes, is 1.73m (5ft 6in) tall and is thin. On the day she disappeared, she was wearing a two-piece swimsuit with rhinestones, yellow beach shoes and red sunglasses. She was apparently seen swimming at around 12pm.

Belongings left behind

Sources claim Ms Bourda's belongings - her clothes and bag - were left behind on the beach beside her chair after she vanished.

'Life in danger'

The Greek missing persons charity, Lifeline Hellas, issued a Silver Alert on Saturday after the police were unable to locate her.

"Her life is in danger. If you know anything, contact the Silver Alert service, 24 hours a day, at the National SOS Line 1065," the alert said.

A Silver Alert is issued to notify citizens about the disappearance of elderly people, especially those with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Recent move

A coast guard official said that Ms Bourda had been "residing temporarily" in Serres, northern Greece.

They told The Sun that her husband is Greek before adding: "Michele is a British citizen who likely also had a home in the UK.

"There are coast guard boats and private boats out looking for her."

Details surrounding Ms Bourda's disappearance are scarce. While it is not known how long the Greek authorities plan to continue the search, a source told The Sun: "We are giving it our all.

"There are still no signs as to whether she went missing on land or sea but right now there are no plans either to end this search.

"We are not at that stage."
