Fears are growing for a British grandfather who disappeared from a costa del Sol bar just one day before his scheduled flight home. Dennis Collinson, 78, was last seen at a bar in Fuengirola on Saturday, september 27th, prompting a search by Spanish authorities and distress among his family.
Collinson had travelled to Spain for a weekend break and was due to return to the UK on Sunday, September 28th. When he failed to appear for his flight, his worried family alerted the police, initiating an investigation into his whereabouts. The disappearance has sparked concern as Collinson has no known medical conditions that might explain his vanishing.
The pensioner was reportedly enjoying a drink at a bar near his hotel when he was last sighted. Spanish police are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the area and interviewing potential witnesses to piece together his movements. His family are being kept updated on the progress of the search and are appealing for any details that could lead to his safe return.
“We are extremely worried about Dennis,” a family member told The Sun. “He’s a fit and healthy man for his age and wouldn’t just disappear like this. We’re desperate to find him.”
The costa del sol is a popular destination for British tourists, and while incidents of this nature are rare, authorities are treating the case with urgency. Anyone with information regarding Dennis Collinson’s disappearance is urged to contact the Spanish police or the British Consulate in Malaga.
