That’s what it wrote Algemeen Dagblad and the Italian news agency Ansa. The man was last seen last Monday. When he had not returned from a long mountain walk that evening, his partner raised the alarm. She had stayed with her child that day in a mountain hut.
Since Tuesday, the Italian authorities searched for the Amsterdammer. The police, fire brigade, a rescue team and a group of volunteers, among others, were deployed for this. Hectares forest were searched, dived into the water, searched in gorges and there was climbed to more than 1800 meters to find the man, but without success. “They did much more than was possible, with a skill that is really amazing,” said the mayor.
The mayor has informed the Italian news agency that the search was stopped after six days, because there was no hope to find the man’s life at that height. “Our thoughts now mainly go to the family,” the mayor responds. It is not excluded that a new search will be held with new instructions.
