roughly four miles away from the main club and bar strip of Albufeira. Last night Greg's sister Jillian admitted her "unimaginable" fear Greg may be "lying somewhere and
we can't find him". The family had shared a photograph of the last known picture of him, showing him in navy Nike shorts and a t-shirt of the same brand. Jillian said Greg's

on CCTV in Cerro de Aguia. This area includes "rough terrain", including jagged rocky hillsides and sharp cliffs, she said, and was over an hour's walk from the Albufeira
Strip, where his friends last saw him. The family had also set up a Facebook group to help spread the word, which now has over 10,000 members. JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get
