KALAMATA – According to several Greek media sources, an American couple who had been missing in southern Greece since January 23 were discovered dead in a ravine on Mount Taygetos near Kalamata on Friday. The couple, David Harrison Robinson, 83, and his wife Lukretia, 80, were living permanently in Dapia of the Messinia prefecture in the southwestern Peloponnese.

They were last seen driving their blue Opel car eastward before they were reported missing. The Greek police’s drone located their car, and their bodies were found nearby in the southern Peloponnese on Friday afternoon.

The Fire Brigade and its disaster rescue team EMAK, as well as volunteers from Messinia, made efforts to retrieve the bodies from the ravine before nightfall. A formal confirmation of their identity is pending.
