just passing this on from trip advisor apparently a british lady 65 years old has gone missing from her hotel in costa teguise on 23rd december, she is here alone and is a very keen walker, her family beleive she left the hotel at 9am to set out walking and has not been seen since. they are here in lanzarote and have checked her room, her passport etc are all there so they think she may have fallen whilst walking, if anyone has any info please contact the guardia civil the lady is called margeret holt. can you all pass this on to as many people as you can and hopefully the lady is found safe and well.

A helicopter is going to help the search in the Famara area tomorrow, so fingers crossed xxx

Update from Clare Riley - Daughter in Law of Margaret Holt.

We have just been at the search and rescue briefing to give info before the teams go back out. The guarda civil have a sighting of her at 16.30 on 23rd dec in the middle of the north between Ye and Magez heading on a road or path towards Jameos del agua or punta de mujeres. On her lists we found she had written down the bus time back from punta de mujeres of 18.10 so we believe she could have been heading for that. The search teams are focusing on this area plus the caleta de famara area going north. So If people could focus their efforts on this area it would be fantastic.

I'm still holding out hope that they'll find this poor lady, but with each extra day that goes by things arent looking good are they?

No Gil things unfortunately don't look good for this poor lady.

Still no word on this poor unfortunate lady then?  How awful for her family.  My heart goes out to them with every day the sun sets and still no sign of her.

Sadly still no news, no.

[Teeamo]

Any news/rumours ? =(

Sadly she has not been found. Her son was interviewed in Livrpool a couple of days ago. He says he has accepted that Margaret won't be found alive - but hopes that at least her body will be found. It's a very sad time xxx

[Bernie Bobcat]

It's so sad for them not having her body.  So hard for them to believe she is really gone, and no answers as to how she lost her life. 

We had a fishing trawler go down in Co Cork a couple of weeks ago, with 5 men losing their lives.  Just at the end of last week they found the last two men who had been still missing.  Even though the families had lost their loved ones, there was great consolation for all as the final two mens remains were retrieved and laid to rest.

Please God someday she will either be washed ashore, or found in some crevice or other where nobody had been able to find her before.  It's an awful situation and I can't imagine the grief that they must be suffering since Christmas.  At least she died doing something she loved.  Walking on a beautiful island.

My feelings exactly Bernie and very well put.
