Family's Desperate Appeal: Search for Missing Brit Greg Monks in Portugal Enters Second Week
The family of Greg Monks, a 38-year-old British man who mysteriously disappeared just hours into a stag do in Portugal, are making a renewed plea for anyone with information to come forward. As the search for Greg enters its second week, his sisters are desperately urging the public to help bring him home.
Greg, from Nottingham, travelled to Albufeira with a group of friends for a five-day celebration. However, he vanished on the evening of Saturday, June 17th, leaving his loved ones devastated and authorities scrambling to find him. The group had only arrived in Portugal earlier that day.
What We Know So Far
According to reports, Greg was last seen at around 11:30 PM near a bar in the popular holiday resort. His friends initially assumed he had returned to their accommodation, but when they realised he was missing, they alerted the authorities. Portuguese police are currently leading the investigation, working alongside British consular officials.
“We are absolutely heartbroken and desperate for any news,” said Greg’s sister, in a statement released earlier this week. “Greg is a loving father, son, brother, and friend. He would never willingly disappear without contacting anyone. We are begging anyone who might have seen him or knows anything about his whereabouts to please contact the police or his family.”
The Search Efforts
The search operation has involved extensive land and sea searches, with police officers, specialist search teams, and volunteers combing the area around Albufeira. Drones have also been deployed to scan the coastline and surrounding areas. Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses in an attempt to piece together Greg’s last known movements.
Family's Plea for Information
Greg’s family is particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area of The Strip in Albufeira on the night of June 17th. They are urging anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward, no matter how insignificant it may seem. They believe that someone may have seen something that could help them find Greg.
“We know that Albufeira is a busy place, and people may not have realised they saw him,” Greg’s sister added. “But please, if you remember anything at all, please get in touch. We just want to bring Greg home safe.”
