Missing since 4pm Friday afternoon. Still not found .

Concern is growing for the fate of the hiker who vanished into thin air yesterday in the stretch of coast between Masua and Cala Domestica, along the route of the third stage of the Santa Barbara Mining Trail .

The man, a 39-year-old Irishman , was walking along the path with his brothers. At a certain point they decided to split up and all traces of him were lost. The search continued all night, without success, and continues today near the pine forest of Masua with 15 technicians from the Alpine and Speleological Rescue of the stations of Iglesias, Cagliari, Medio Campidano and Ogliastra, assisted by the Mobile Coordination Center and an Air Force helicopter that took off from Decimomannu.

The technicians are scouring the coast on a large scale. Yesterday they retraced the path starting from the last known position transmitted by the man, also in action a drone with a thermal camera and the Fire Department personnel who scoured the area last night with the Drago helicopter, two dog units and drones.
