GREEK cops are now investigating reports of a possible sighting of a Brit woman who vanished off a beach in Greece while her husband was sleeping.
Michele Ann Joy Bourda, 59, was at the Ofrynio beach in Kavala with her husband before she shockingly disappeared – sparking a huge search operation.
A sports instructor has now claimed that he saw a woman who resembled Mrs Bourda swimming in deep waters near the beach.
He claims to have asked the Brit not to go any further, LBC reports.
A Hellenic coast guard spokesperson confirmed the search had not only expanded across a much larger area but would continue.
“Patrol boats are now focused on the entire Strymonian Gulf and it will continue,” they told the Sun.
“There is no change in this operation.”
The Brit was last seen wearing a two-piece beaded swimsuit, yellow beach shoes, and red sunglasses, according to authorities.
Sources say the woman’s belongings were still at the beach after she disappeared.
A source told The Sun: “We are giving it our all.
“There are still no signs as to whether she went missing on land or sea but right now there are no plans either to end this search.
“We are not at that stage.”
A coast guard official said that the Brit had been “residing temporarily” in Serres, northern Greece.
