The mum of a missing Swansea doctor has spoken of her hope that he will be found safe and well after jetting into New Zealand to help with the search for him.
Anaesthetist David Holland, 31, was last seen on the evening of Friday, March 11. Friends of the doctor had thought he had gone for a swim at a nearby beach and fears were raised for his safety when he failed to appear at work. Hundreds have since been involved in a search for him.
His mum, Karen Holland, of Swansea, who has flown to New Zealand with her son Rhodri, and met up with David's girlfriend Olivia, said: “We still hope that he will be found safe and well. The authorities are continuing their search. Others enquiries are ongoing. These could take several weeks, if not longer. We would just like to thank everyone for their messages of support at this heartbreaking time and to everyone who has contributed to the fund, it’s been truly overwhelming.”
