Search Continues for Missing Brit in Costa Brava

Matthew Chapman, a 24-year-old from Manchester, was reported missing by his family on April 30 after traveling from the UK through France and Portugal to Spain. His abandoned van was discovered at a viewpoint near Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava, leading to a large-scale, two-day search involving land, sea, and air units, but no trace of him was found. Authorities confirmed his mobile phone signal was last detected near Tossa de Mar. Chapman was reportedly facing financial difficulties, and police remain open to various explanations for his disappearance. The investigation is ongoing, and the Catalan police have not disclosed their next steps. The case has drawn comparisons to other high-profile disappearances in the region, such as rugby player Levi Davis.
