Wengen, canton Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - A 23-year-old British man, Myles Robinson, has gone missing in the small resort of Wengen, a town in a region he knows well, having spent vacations in the area for the past 15 years. He was last seen dropping a friend off at her hotel, near the Blue Monkey bar in the town at 02:00 Tuesday 22 December. He was vacationing with his family, who have told UK media that “he’s a normal boy. He would never wander off. We are a really close family.”
The Swiss army have reportedly been called in to help in the search to find him, but locals who saw him at the bar, interviewed by the British media, say they find the disappearance “very strange” and inexplicable.

I cannot understand where he could be, Wengen is such a small place, no cars on the road except the select few taxis. My husband’s family have been visiting that area for 40 yrs+ and there is a great community and atmosphere every time, considered one of the safest family resorts. My thoughts are with the family.

It’s very strange, since it was a clear night and the centre of town is small, as you say, and he was seen by several people that evening. Here is the police report – only in German, I’m afraid: http://www.police.be.ch/site/index/pom_kapo_news/pom_kapo_news-detail.htm?newsid=31969&cat=tn

I run the company in London, who recently hired Myles to join us in January. All of us are horrified by this tragic event and want to help the family in any way we can. Can anyone help us reach his father, Michael, or other members of the family? We can be reached at suzi.huntington@partners-cap.com.

Myles worked with us before Christmas in London. He is a REALLY level headed great boy. He was very happy. I gave him and his girlfriend a lift back on a number of occasions. He is a happy boy and the Robinsons are a VERY close family He will not have wondered off. This is a nightmare for them. I hope they receive all the best help in finding him. Please pray for them.
