The family of a British tourist are "worried sick" after losing contact with him a week ago while holidaying in Majorca.
John Webster, 61, has not been heard from since last Monday evening when he called his partner Kristiane Johnston, who lives in Canada. On holiday in the island's capital, Palma, John called his partner while at Hogan's Bar and said he would call her again on his walk home to his hotel, the Urban Hostel.
He failed to call and Kristiane's text messages were read but not responded to, Olive Press reports.
The English language newspaper said there have been numerous attempts to contact him at the hostel and through local law enforcement, but he has vanished without a trace. He was previously checking in regularly, so his radio silence is out of character.

He said he was going to call me right back and didn’t. I have been trying to contact the hostel where he was staying, and the police. I am worried sick about him because he keeps in touch and this isn’t like him." Olive Press unsuccessfully tried to contact the Urban Hostel in Palma for comment.

Kristiane continued: "I spoke on the phone with him for half an hour on Monday evening when he was at Hogan’s Bar. He said he was going to walk back to the hostel and then we’d chat again. Two messages I sent him that evening were opened but since then, none of my messages have been received."
The Foreign Office has been contacted for comment.
