The search continues for 25-year-old Michael Frison, who went missing while on holiday in Sardinia. He disappeared after leaving for a walk on the evening of Saturday 13 July in countryside near Luras. Frison, who has British and Italian heritage, had been visiting family and volunteering on a farm in the northern part of the island. His mother, Cristina Pittalis, has launched a desperate plea to find her “sweet” son, stating that his disappearance has left her feeling “distraught”, especially given the “remote” and “often treacherous” terrain of the island.
According to reports, Frison left his accommodation at the volunteer site with a bottle of water, leaving behind his phone, laptop and ID. When he failed to return that evening, friends and family went looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Frison was officially reported missing at about midday the following day. Two rescue teams equipped with drones are currently “working very hard” to search the area where he went missing.
The British Foreign Office has stated that they “are supporting Mr Frison’s family” and are in contact with the local authorities. The British Embassy in Rome have also been in contact with the family. Frison’s friend, Harry, said that the excessive heat in Sardinia has caused concern for his wellbeing. Harry has been supporting Frison’s family and is hoping to fly out to Sardinia this week.
Frison’s mother said the Italian authorities will decide whether to continue with the search on Friday. But she said she is worried it is “too soon” to stop searching, and fears that her son is in “real danger”. “I’m taking it day by day and hoping that we will find him so that we can take care of him and help him recover from this experience,” she added
