With the greatest of respect, it's highly unlikely anyone on here would know anything.

If you are concerned, your best point of contact in the first instance is the British High Commission in Malta. Their website is here: http://www.britishhighcommission.gov.uk/servle t/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage &c=Page&cid=1046950045315

They may be able to carry out enquries on your behalf.

Good luck.

So sorry to hear this Rossi! Have you tried all friends? Even the ones she hardly spoke to or wasn't that close? Someone may have a number for her or know of her whereabouts?

I have found these numbers for the local authorities and also contact your own police station and see if they can be of any help;
Officials:
British Consulate Crete: 0030 2810 224 012
British Consulate Athens: 0030 2107 237 727
Malia Police: 0030 2897 026 900

Try not to worry too much, maybe as you say she is having too much of a good time and not thinking about home. It's easily done. My sister went to Australia to finish off her nurse training and worked in the outback, she didn't get in touch for over a week and when we tried to contact her she wasn't where she was supposed to be and hadn't been to where she was supposed to have been either. We rang the local police out there and she was eventually found staying somewhere else as plans were changed at the last minute and she didn't even think that we would be worrying about her.

I hope she turns up safe and sound xx

I am sure your daughter is having too good a time to think about phoning her mum, she will not realise how worried you are.

Having said that if your daughter does not contact you over the weekend can you email me or repost as a lad from this town also went missing in Malia about 2 years ago, unfortunately he has not been found but I am sure his parents could tell you who to contact etc.

I am sure she is safe and well, someone would soon contact you if anything is wrong.

[Reverandfunk]

Asking strangers who are a couple of thousand miles away isn't really a good idea.

Where was she staying/working? Contact the embassy/consul who should in turn contact the local police.

[Rossi52]

I dont know where she is staying now,nobody not even here friends know or have heard from her.As for asking strangers ive had some good contact info.So thanx to everyone who has emailed me

[fine,thanks]

hope you get contact soon.

Rossi I am sure she is fine and just having a good time. Years ago I was travelling alone in america and was meant to call my sister who was living there just to say where I was and that I was ok. I didn't for quite a while and she was worried sick. The truth was that I was having the time of my life and just didn't think, very selfish I know, but I was young.

I hope she get in contact over the weekend, if not then get on to the authorities and contact sandbach.

take care
warpig

[warpig3]

Just thinking, is there any possibility of you flying over there? You could ask in the bars etc I am sure someone will know her.

[Rossi52]

Great news everything is kind of ok,shes been it touch.Ive just got to sort some things out.
Again thanx to everyone

[sandbach99]

I'm so so pleased for you, give her another 20 to 30 years and she will realise why you were so worried, when her children do the same.

[warpig3]

rossi am so glad, and a little relieved, hope all is ok.

~Rossi on another level entirely, having viewed VHG's link, i am shocked, appalled and disgusted at Petras treatment, do you have a web site ? I am most sincere in this request, just cant believe what I am reading.

[Rossi52]

Sorry i havent a website i wouldnt know were to start making one. Just google Petra Blanksby and loads of web pages come up.also i did a BBC1 documentary for the programme Britains Secret Shame,Petra died in my arms after 5 days and 4 night by her bedside on Nov 24th 2003,we have still not had an inquest,its going to be Jan 14th 2008 (which is a long time to wait) scheduled for 3 weeks i cant say to much so as not to prejudice the jury,but you will find a lot on the web about it,and what really happens to our mentally ill young people in our so called society.Thank you for caring

[~Wingnut~]

Ahh so glad she has been in touch Rossi! Did she ring to wish you Happy Birthday? :o)

As Warpig has said I am also shocked and appalled at reading the link above. My heart goes out to you and your family xxx

[brionon]

To all those who thought Rossi was wrong to ask here -You are wrong. In a case like this the thing to do is to spread your net as wide as possible. Someone might have seen or heard something. If you don't ask people can't know.

[naomi24]

I agree with Brionon. In circumstances like this, anything is worth a try.

[kirsty23]

hello dad i didnt realise you were that worried i am really really sorry that i made you feel that way!!!
love youxxx
