New possible sighting in search for Steve





The Cook family have new hope in their search to bring Steve home following a possible sighting on the Greek island of Rhodes. Unlike previous sightings the witnesses were not aware of Steven's case prior to the sighting and felt moved to get in touch after seeing a picture of Steve at the airport.





The light at the end of the tunnel

Whilst dining out in Pefkos, a British family were approached by a person selling trinkets and novelty items. This person had issues communicating verbally - a similar scenario to a sighting in Stalis, Crete that the family followed up on last year - although in that instance the person was begging at restaurants.The next day the witnesses left for the UK and whilst at the airport in Rhodes they saw a missing persons poster featuring Steve and they strongly felt that the trinket seller they'd seen the previous night physically matched Steve's description.This scenario is consistent with information received following the Cook's appearance on Greek missing persons showin 2005. The appeal generated calls about sightings of someone, obviously lost, that had problems communicating, matching Steve's description just days and weeks after his disappearance.Whilst a recent search by the local police has failed to track this person down, we believe that the vigilence of tourists, locals and people will be essential to solving this ever widening, hurtful puzzle and get Steve back home where he belongs.If you, or anyone that you know is going to Greece, please send them this information, and ask them click here to print and take this profile and guide with them in the hope that it will bring Steve home to his family.
