A Scottish man has gone missing in Rome, with his fiancée describing the ordeal as an absolute nightmare as desperate appeals go out for information on his whereabouts.
Colin Alexander Ross was last seen on Friday, August 14, walking up a side street near the Piazza della Rotonda, one of the Italian capital’s most famous squares, home to the ancient Pantheon and surrounded by busy tourist spots.
His disappearance has left his fiancée in a state of panic, with the couple having been on holiday in the city when Colin simply vanished. What should have been a romantic trip has turned into a desperate search, with family and friends back in Scotland rallying to help spread the word.
His fiancée has spoken publicly about the trauma of the situation, calling it a holiday nightmare and urging anyone with information to come forward. The last confirmed sighting of Colin placed him heading up a side street off the busy piazza, after which all trace of him disappeared.
The Piazza della Rotonda is a heavily visited part of central Rome, packed with tourists and locals throughout the day and night, making his disappearance all the more baffling to those who know him.
Family members are working alongside authorities and are using social media to circulate appeals, hoping that someone in Rome or anyone who was in that area on the day may have spotted him or have information about where he went.
Anyone with information on Colin Alexander Ross is urged to come forward as soon as possible to help reunite him with his family.
