Best wishes that your uncle turns up safe and well.

So sorry you and the family are going through all this worry. I hope you'll soon have good news.

Please if you are the Wengen area, or going walking there at the week-end, any EFers- keep your eyes peeled.

I hope for a happy ending

Hi John. I hope you get news soon. Best wishes for your family.

I do so hope your uncle will be found soon. Best wishes to all your family. Please keep us updated.

My thoughts are with you (I am posting this to bump your post up to the top again). Please keep us informed.

What everyone else said. Keep the faith and stay strong.

PS: Anyone near Wengen who might be able to put up (more) posters?

Hoping he comes back, safe and sound.

Hi john23,
I'm sorry for you and your family's anguish, but I was thinking if there were any other details, you may be aware of, that may help in the finding of your uncle.

I hope it doesn't seem insensitive, and not wishing to pry, but is it possible that his disappearance could be related to a mental condition, that may have resulted in him having amnesia or temporary memory loss, giving the possibility that he could have got on a bus and/or train and left the Wengen area? In which case other readers, in other areas, could also help in locating him, but not be aware that the search area may need to be widened.

Or, if this is not believed to be the case - is it that a possible accident, in a hidden location could be suspected? Meaning extreme vigilance for anyone walking in that local.

So sorry for you and your family John.

I've sent the news story on to some friends at St Ursulas English church in nearby Bern. They'll be asking everyone to keep an eye out and will no doubt be saying a prayer for you and your uncle on Sunday.

Wow that was a bit of a shock. I just read the article and realsed that I actually know the guy. He lives very near to my aunt.

I hope he turns up safe and well soon.

What a small world BM. He looks just like a very good friend of ours, our dentist in the UK. Hoping for good news.

Hello John23!

Be assured in the fact that with this much support here in the forum, it's a magnified positive energy which I hope results in a good outcome for you and your family.

Thank you for posting the photo on the thread Mirfield.
BUMP
Geoff looks like a lovely fellow. Prayers and best wished that he turns up safe and sound.

My very best wishes to him, to you and to all of his family and his friends. Let's hope for the best ..................

Wish he will appear soon being well, all the best and definitely any EFers who are around the area can try to help as possible.

On another note, what is it with Wengen and the disappearances, i think there have been 4 to 5 incident past year?

There's a bit more information here:





There's also a picture of the coat he is believed to have been wearing (I can't work out how to copy it in here, maybe one of you bright sparks can do it?)

Mowvitch, I've been thinking the same, but didn't dare voice it. Bizarre.
Let's hope all is well.

It's a very popular spot for visitors from overseas, some of whom may not be used to the rugged terrain. As I understand it, there are a number of steep ravines in the area, which can be dangerous for those of us from less bumpy parts of the planet.

If Interlaken was less flat and more rugged, you'd hear more about disappearances there, I'm sure.

I'm sure there's nothing sinister about it.
