The rescuers in Ikaria are "involved" in a real street race, who are "running" the investigations into the case of the disappearance of 34-year-old Natalie Christopher.
The research teams have already been strengthened by a special unit of EL.AS. -which carries specialized geolocation equipment- which went to Ikaria by army helicopter. Despite the great mobilization of the Authorities, however, the mobile phone of the British astrophysicist has not been located yet, which is the most important "key" to trace the disappearance.
In an inaccessible, bushy spot of Kerame Ikaria the last stigma
As Michalis Christodoulou, head of the Select Team of Ikaria Special Missions (EPOMEA Ikaria), explains to iefimerida, the rescuers have already "combed" a very large area and since Wednesday morning are trying to reach the last position.
"We researched the whole area of Kerame, that is, around the hotel where 34-year-old Natalie Christopher was staying with her partner. We are talking about an area of 10 kilometers, if you look at it in a straight line. We have the whole route that he walked, as the Civil Protection of Cyprus sent us stigmas ", notes Mr. Christodoulou.
According to him, "the last position of her mobile phone is in a very inaccessible area of Kerame Ikaria. It is located at the point of Kerame Lighthouse. We will see how he got there. We estimate that it may take up to two days to reach this point. "Saplings and shrubs will need to be cut."
On Thursday, divers in Ikaria get a "job"
As Michalis Christodoulou reports in iefimerida, one of the boats of the Greek Navy that was going to participate in the investigations was damaged. "That is why our boat, of EPOMEA Greece, will come to Ikaria, from today. We are also waiting for specialized search dogs as well as divers ".
Diving on the specific coastline of Ikaria, according to Mr. Christodoulou, will begin in the early hours of Thursday. The divers will follow, by sea, the route that "maps" the spots of Natalie Christopher's mobile phone.
The police were surprised, the cell phone of the 34-year-old was opened 24 hours after her disappearance in Ikaria
Meanwhile, the thriller of the disappearance of 34-year-old astrophysicist Natalie Christopher suddenly intensified yesterday, when the authorities realized that her cell phone was opened on Tuesday morning, 24 hours after the announcement of her disappearance by her Cypriot partner.
The police were surprised by the development and sent two text messages to the girl's number, which went unanswered. What the authorities are not able to know is whether the cell phone was activated by the astrophysicist herself, which means she was alive, or by someone else who found it or had it removed.
Blood was found in the astrophysicist's room at the hotel in Ikaria
However, as of noon yesterday, the case of the 34-year-old's disappearance has taken on another dimension, as in the room where she lived with her partner, blood-stained tissues were found in the bathroom and three blood stains on the pillow where the astrophysicist had leaned.
In his testimony, her partner attributed the presence of blood to the girl's nosebleed the night before her disappearance. The findings were sent for DNA testing and what the police are investigating is whether the blood came from a natural nosebleed or from a blow.
