Police continued with their search effort for missing French student Antoine Maury over the weekend. On Saturday, specially trained officers were assisted by Antoine’s parents, Pascal and Laura Maury, as well as a team of around one hundred public volunteers. The search concentrated on Holyrood Park.
Antoine has been missing since 10.30pm on Monday, October 24th, when he suddenly left his friends at Edinburgh College’s Milton Road East Campus.
He is believed to have been seen later that evening between 10.45pm and 11pm near to the Duddingston Village area of Holyrood Park, heading into the park.
The man, who matched the 21-year-old’s description, was seen topless, and officers are continuing to keep an open mind in relation to his clothing.
Inspector Alan Carson of the Edinburgh Division said: “The response from the public since Antoine’s disappearance has been fantastic. So many people have expressed a willingness to help find him as quickly as possible and I know that his family are extremely grateful for the support of the people of Edinburgh.”
