Crete: Intensive Search for Missing 33-Year-Old Doctor

The search is fully underway for the 33-year-old doctor, Alexis Tsikopoulos, who has been missing since December 7 in the Chania area of Crete. Volunteers, using thermal cameras and drones, are combing the Fre area, where his traces were last detected.

Volunteers from the Friends of Hunters of Akti Thermaikos Group, along with specially trained dogs, are thoroughly searching abandoned houses, wells, and pools in the wider area. According to patris.gr, the searches started today, with a mapping of the area yesterday.

Alexis Tsikopoulos, who worked at the Venizelio Hospital, last contacted his father on December 7, expressing discomfort. His car was found in the Fre area with a mechanical failure.

During the search, a 54-year-old fraudster tried to exploit the family, claiming he could locate the missing man with "quantum technology." The fraudster was arrested and sentenced to imprisonment.
