In a tragic turn of events, 74-year-old Susan Hart, a grandmother who had gone missing while on vacation on a Greek island three weeks ago, has been discovered deceased in a secluded location.
On Sunday, April 30, Susan Hart, a resident of Bath, reportedly disappeared after boarding a ferry from Kalymnos to Telendos, a secluded island, along with her spouse, Ed.
According to sources, the individual in question reportedly made plans to remain stationed at the forefront of the island, while their partner ventured off to partake in a rock climbing excursion with an acquaintance.
Upon their return, it was discovered that she had vanished without any indication of her whereabouts. Officials and volunteers have joined a family from Bath in an extensive search of the island for over two weeks.
According to Ruth Landale, the daughter of the deceased, her stepfather has positively identified her mother’s body. The deceased, who was residing in Switzerland, will now be repatriated to her home country. Greek authorities will carry out a post-mortem.
Former World Health Organisation employee Susan Hart has been identified. She resided in Switzerland with her spouse, Ed, who is a native of the country.
As reported by The Mirror, the couple had been making frequent visits to the bigger island of Kalymnos for approximately the past eight years. Telendos, a smaller island located approximately 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) off the coast of Kalymnos, is considered an administrative part of the larger body. The island, which is small in size, has a semi-circular shape.
A solitary mountain with a sheer, level peak descends precipitously into the ocean on all sides. At the southernmost point of the island, the sole settlement is situated on a level terrain. Susan Hart took the ten-minute ferry trip from Kalymnos and planned to read for a while before heading over to a local restaurant while her husband went climbing.
According to The Sun, she opted to refrain from participating due to health issues. Upon Ed’s return, Susan was nowhere to be found. No one in the restaurant had seen her.

Following her mysterious disappearance, the search for their mother was diligently carried out by Bethan and Ruth, who was in Australia at the time. Ella, aged 43 and from London, also joined in the search efforts. In an interview with The Mirror, Bethan questioned, “How does someone simply vanish without any clues?”
According to the siblings, the likelihood of discovering their missing family member alive is dwindling with each passing day, leaving them unsure of their next course of action. On Saturday, Ruth took to Facebook and stated, “Someone, somewhere must have seen something.” In a small community, it is highly unlikely for individuals to disappear without leaving any trace.
A mother suffering from dementia is reportedly in a highly vulnerable state. There is a need to locate her. The individual pleaded for assistance.
According to Bethan, her mother may have been experiencing memory loss prior to her disappearance. However, she clarified that her mother had not received a formal diagnosis of dementia.
The family, who had previously fought for access to CCTV footage showing Susan leaving the restaurant, is now making a frantic effort to obtain video footage from the opposite direction. According to reports, there were statements made suggesting that reviewing footage from behind the restaurant could potentially provide clarity on a matter that was causing concern.
Additionally, it was mentioned that Susan had returned to Kalymnos via ferry. In a recent statement, Bethan challenged the accuracy of earlier accounts claiming that Susan had been discovered deceased at the base of a cliff. According to a flyer distributed by the family, Susan is described as having blue eyes and short brown hair that has been dyed.
According to reports, she was last seen wearing a brown hat, grey Bermuda shorts, a light brown cardigan, a grey short-sleeved top, grey hiking boots, a grey sweatshirt, and her wedding ring on the day she disappeared. Meet Susan, a mother of three and grandmother of four children.
