Searched for Michael Mosley in the water and is now focusing on the mountains on the Greek island of Symi.

Three days after Michael Mosley's mysterious disappearance, there are still no signs of the world-renowned diet guru, but the police believe he disappeared on land.

"We won't give up hope. It's been three days since Michael left the beach to take a walk. The longest and most unbearable days for me and my children," said his wife Clare Bailey Mosley in a statement on Saturday morning.

Clock 06:00 on Saturday morning, the rescue team began to search an area with a radius of 6.5 kilometers, says Manolis Tsimpoukas, who leads the search in the Dodecanese group, where Symi is located.

Shortly after lunch, the Greek police announced that they are now concentrating the operation on the mountains on the island and will no longer be using the coast guard's services, writes The Times.

Eleftherios Papakalodouka, mayor of Symi, says that the search operation has shifted from the harbor to the Vroulia mountains on the north coast of the island.

The police do not believe that Michael Mosley had water with him during his outing.

Mosley was on vacation on Symi with his wife and disappeared on Wednesday near Pedi, a harbor on the island located near the Turkish coast, 20 kilometers northwest of Rhodes.

With the help of surveillance camera footage, the police have been able to track Mosley's route to Pedi. On several images, Mosley can be seen with an umbrella in hand at the beginning of a new hiking trail that leads up to the mountains

Michael Mosley, 67, became a world-renowned name as a proponent of intermittent fasting and launched popular diets such as 5:2 and 16:8 over ten years ago. Many of his books have been published in Swedish and he has frequently appeared in Swedish media.
