No leads yet to find missing Englishman

The disappearance of Englishman Gareth David Huntley, who went missing after going to the Lubuk Teja Waterfalls, near Tioman Island last Tuesday, remains a mystery as the search and rescue team has yet to find any leads to find him.

Rompin district police chief, DSP Johari Jahaya said the search for the man, involving an eight-member team from the State Fire and Rescue Department, as well as the police K9 Tracker Dog Unit, entered its fifth day on Saturday.

The search is also assisted by members from the Civil Defence Department and local residents, he said when contacted by Bernama.

Huntley, 34, said to be a volunteer of a turtle project in Kampung Juara, near Tioman Island, was believed to have gone to the vicinity of the waterfalls alone around noon that day.

Friends lodged a report on his disappearance last Thursday when he failed to return.

Meanwhile, it is learnt that close friends and relatives of Huntley have set up a Facebook page 'Find Gareth Huntley' to help find him.

The latest information on the page also stated that Huntley's family members and close friends from England are on their way to Kuala Lumpur.
