Who is the witness who saw her walking away.
Or did they see her on her way to have a swim. The swim where the sports coach thinks he saw her.

Last known pic shows missing Brit woman in Greece before she vanished

A BRITISH woman who vanished from a Greek beach was last pictured with her husband just three hours before she mysteriously disappeared. Michele Ann Joy Bourda, 59, had been enjoying a snack with h…

Color me confused here. She was allegedly wearing two piece rhinestone beaded swimsuit and red bone-rimmed glasses, yet in the alleged last pic she sports something that looks like one piece swimsuit with no bead in sight and wire rimmed glasses. WTF?

Perhaps a one piece swimming costume for a swim and then the 2 piece for relaxing, sunbathing.

Saw her walking away, in what direction ?

To the water, where the sports coach later warned her about going out too far.
Or was that maybe not her.

Or did she get changed and go back in the water.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

The flashy two piece does sound like one you'd lounge around in, one not for swimming. One to be seen in.

I bought a swimsuit once that faded the first time I wore it.
I took it back and was told it was not a swimsuit for swimming in, it was a fashion swimsuit and was not meant for wearing in the water.

No refund for me

And the other pair of glasses for...?

And the other pair of glasses for...?

One might be prescription and the other for 'looking good' . I carry a few pairs usually.

And the other pair of glasses for...?

Maybe one pair is for reading and has prescription lenses and the other a cheaper pair to wear near the water.

Me too, always have my readers and my glams

What about the pair of water shoes left behind.
Was there one pair for the water and one dressier pair. The yellow pair.

Or did she walk off barefooted.

I think the reporting is not clear. Some state that the shoes were left behind, other media seem to indicate Michele was wearing the shoes when she disappeared. But again, I think 2 pair of shoes is reasonable. One to swim/beach, one to keep dry for walking to the cafe etc.

Brit who vanished from Greek sunbed 'seen walking away from scene'

Michele Ann Joy Bourda, 59, had been swimming at Ofrynio beach in the city of Kavala at around noon on Friday before she suddenly went missing.

www.dailymail.co.uk

''The British woman who vanished from a Greek sunbed six days ago while her husband slept was seen walking away from the scene, as it emerges she also disappeared in London in 2020, according to Greek media.''

''In London 2020 following a dismissal from work, the woman vanished before she was later found by the police.

She has reportedly been suffering with health problems in recent times, spurring her husband's anxiety about her current whereabouts.

In the photograph from the beach cafe, Mrs Bourda is pictured wearing a dark swimming costume and sunglasses, and appears calm as she chats with her husband, who is shown in the photo wearing a white cap. ''

'A new picture of the missing woman has been released (Image: ANT1)
Missing Michele Ann Joy Bourda was pictured enjoying breakfast at a cafe with her husband just hours before she vanished.'

Looking at what I can see of the swimsuit she's wearing at the cafe, I think I can see what could be some tiny pink stones.
Unless it's a flaw in the photo.

Could it just be a strappy top she has on in that photo, or dress/beach cover up, with swimsuit on underneath or she’s yet to change into it? It seems a bit odd to be to sit at a cafe in your swimsuit, especially first thing in the morning having breakfast. I mean, Ibiza beach club, yes, but normal cafe, I’d generally put some clothes on. Especially if I’d just arrived and was having breakfast.

 

[Smccat]

Mr B is sitting topless. Normal etiquette for me also at the beach, is to always cover up to sit down for food/drinks. It might be a vest top Michele is wearing.

Hopefully not a disrespectful question, but could menopause symptoms possibly play a role in this and MB's past disappearance? speculation, imo.

 

[dulcinea]

For greek standards, her hair would be considered blonde (dark blonde) . Not in that specific photo which looks wet but overall!

I was thinking the same. I get called blond all the time and in no way would I call myself blond. However, by local standards I am considered blond. Where I am originally from people are quite a bit lighter and I am considered dark! The pictures are important here because if someone is looking for a very light bleach blonde, they will walk right past her.

I was just reading that after I posted. So she's got wet and had a change. Makes sense.

I don't understand. She went to the beach with two swimsuits? She wore a black one a few hours before noon when she had something to eat. Then she changed into a two-piece beaded swimsuit?

She's a swimmer/hiker/cyclist, and she went swimming in a two-piece beaded swimsuit? That does not make sense.

It was warm enough on August 1 that she would dry in the sun in a few minutes. No need to change bathing suits.
