A missing Brit who vanished on a Greek island while on holiday with her boyfriend has reportedly been found dead in a ravine, say local media.
Dr Natalie Christopher, 34, vanished on beautiful Ikaria and when she didn't return to her room her devastated partner raised the alarm.
She had arrived on the island on Saturday for a short break before being due to leave for Cyprus on Monday.
The boyfriend told Protothema News that she told him that she was jogging up a hill in a rocky part of the island, and promised that she would be careful.
"I can't go fast, I'll be back slowly, don't worry," he claims she told him.
But when she hadn't returned by 11am he got worried and informed the landlord of the property the couple were renting, who then called police.
The landlord said that the woman's phone was ringing, but nobody was picking up.
They discovered her mobile was sending out a signal from the same area at first, but later appeared to have been switched off.
On Sunday she posted on Facebook: "Beautiful spot for swimming and deep water solo, had so much fun today.
"Realised later there are bolted routes here too, would love to come back again to climb. Any takers?"
Dr Christopher is a renowned astrophysicist, conducting research at the European University Cyprus in the Astrophysics and High Performance Computing group.
Christopher recently represented the country at the International Science Communication Competition FameLab.
She also launched the “Cyprus Girls Can” campaign to get women and girls, of all ages and abilities all across Cyprus, more involved in sport.
