Found Deceased Greece - Dr. Natalie Christopher, 34, British, missing after jog, Ikaria, 5 August 2019

[indicolite22]

Translation via Google Translate:

According to the SKAI report, which aired on Tuesday night, latest information from Ikaria indicates that the 35-year-old's mobile phone was activated today.

SKAI also reports that two text messages have been sent.

However, as SKAI reports it remains unclear whether the astrophysicist herself opened her phone or anyone else.

who heard voices and entered hotel room? why on earth would you do that?

«Άκουσα κάποιες φωνές το προηγούμενο βράδυ.

"I heard some shouting* the previous evening."

*The Greek word can literally mean voices (as the online translation rendered it), but in the context here, it means shouting.

Wow. This could go any way. MOO.

Ok, I don't think they were staying in Kerame on the northern part of the island.

There is a Kerame Beach on the southern tip, closer to Ayios Kirikos (about 10km), so that may make more sense.

After comparing photos from Google Maps and the news video below, it looks like they were staying at the Blue SeaSide Studios near Kerame Beach.

A preliminary inquiry was being conducted by Samos police headquarters, with both security law enforcement and crime detectives joining the investigation.

Police sealed off the hotel room and were said to be seeking data from the private phone records of the couple to assist in the investigation.

Greek authorities were under media scrutiny last month as they were investigating the death of an American scientist, Suzanne Eaton ...

That's interesting. They're bringing in crime detectives from the neighboring island of Samos to assist in the criminal investigation.
Here's the official press release from the Hellenic Police that was referenced in that article.
SAR (Search And Rescue) and criminal investigations are being conducted in parallel/at the same time. (my summary/paraphrase of the press release)

SKAI also reports that two text messages have been sent.

It appears from another source, that it was the police who sent two text messages to her phone today. They went unanswered. Also from the article below:

The 35-year-old's phone appears to have deactivated on the afternoon of August 5 and appeared active again this morning.

From the geotagging effort, two broadcast spots were found in different parts of the island.

Hmmm...if I had a nosebleed the night before I probably wouldn't go running in the morning Also, since apparently they were on a tight schedule to leave, I might do a short run but nothing long. It says upthread that she left at 8:00 am and he called and spoke to her at 9:30 am and she was still running and going uphill.

That's a long run. I would like to know if she typically did 1 1/2 to 2 hour runs.

Very curious.

 

[Patrick Jane]

Οι έρευνες εκτείνονται από την περιοχή Κεραμέ Ικαρίας έως το Ακρωτήριο Δράκανο, μια απόσταση περίπου 10 χλμ. Πρόκειται για σχετικά εύκολη περιοχή, χωρίς δύσβατα σημεία.

The searches (of the SAR) extend from the region of Kerame, Ikarias until the Cape/Headland Drakano, a distance of about 10 kilometers (6.21 miles). This (search area we're talking) about (is a) relatively easy region, without rough/inaccessible points.

maybe she is in training for another race. marathon training does tend to take over your life! i know my marathon training was all consuming each time. if she has no other opportunity this week to get in her long run then she might have been going that morning.....or using the terrain as hill training

us runners are competitive (with ourselves) and she is definitely a serious runner

She did a marathon in Cyprus in June and it looks to be over rough ground.

"A few blood spots were actually found at three different points. A few blood stains were found on the pillow, in the sheets and in front of the mirror, "the hotelier said.

I would expect a person with a nosebleed to get a tissue from the bathroom. I would further expect to find a bloody tissue in the bathroom wastebasket. MOO

 

[whitelilac]

Very concerning.... what is it with bright talented athletic women vanishing?
Any info on how long she has been in a relationship with her "partner"?

 

[Patrick Jane]

A Greek navy helicopter equipped with thermal imaging from the nearby island of Chios was involved in the search, according to local reports.

[Officer Dibble]

wow.

this JUST happened july 2:

Found Deceased - Greece - Dr. Suzanne Eaton, 60, American, gone for a run, Crete, 2 Jul 2019 *ARREST* #2

a random psychopath was arrested, but similar story. is this man still in jail?

and another man (tourist) went for a walk and didn't return in june.
Greece - Greece - John Tossell, 73, British tourist went for a walk, Zante, 17 June 2019

then again, the bf could just be familiar with these cases. i suppose the "went for a jog and never came home" excuse is used quite often. MOO.

Good spots - thanks for sharing

 

[Officer Dibble]

«Φύλλο και φτερό» από τις Αρχές το δωμάτιο που έμεναν

The authorities are (going over) the (hotel) room they stayed in "with a fine tooth comb."*

*The phrase here (which I translated to an English idiom) is a Greek idiom, which literally means, "leaf and feather," and means in context here that the police are searching every bit of that room, with the implication being that it may be a possible crime scene.

Σύμφωνα με τον σύντροφό της, το πρωί εκείνης της ημέρας είχε ανοίξει η μύτη της 34χρονος.

According to her partner, on that morning she, the 34 year old, had a bloody nose*

*literally means her nose "had opened," but in context here means that the partner is claiming that the blood stains on the bed were due to her having a bloody nose.

(my translation only)

Εξαφάνιση αστροφυσικού στην Ικαρία: Κηλίδες αίματος βρέθηκαν στο κρεβάτι του ζευγαριού

And from here MOO:

How did he know she had a bloody nose in the morning if he never saw her that morning (as was reported earlier)?

This made me laugh at the irony of it.

 

[Officer Dibble]

If she really did have a nosebleed, this is going to cause difficulties by swaying opinion with the police, without proof. The comments further above about her saying on the phone she had to go slow but would make her way back slowly, are interesting.

 

[AmandaSkis]

If the phone was showing as deactivated on 05Aug but then pinged the next morning, I’m inclined to think she was injured during her run and is still alive. Maybe turning off her phone to save the battery.

Or do they have the wrong man?

It's way too eerie.

Okay, went down some rabbit holes. Not so eerie.
