The sister of a Manchester man missing in Colombia has said the family are "extremely, extremely worried" after seven weeks without contact.
Anton Green, originally from Whalley Range, was last heard from by a friend in the South American country on August 6, 2026. His sister, Sian Tuohey, 40, said the family have become "very anxious" after weeks have passed since he last contacted a family member on August 5.
Family losing sleep
Sian told the Mirror on Thursday (September 24): "It was easy to stay positive in the beginning, but it's got to the point definitely for me and my mum where we're losing sleep. We're very anxious throughout the day. We don't know what's happened but with all this time, you start imagining the worst and making up your own conclusions."
After visiting a few places in Europe, Anton decided to travel to South America. Fluent in Spanish, he spent some time in Colombia where he decided to settle on the outskirts of the capital as he took a liking to the way of life, culture and cost of living in the country.
Lived near Bogota
According to his family, the 43-year-old has lived near the city of Bogota where he has stayed around the Fontibon and Mesita Del Colegio areas. His family say he had recently moved homes weeks before his disappearance.
Anton is described as dark skinned, with short afro hair and is listed at 5 ft 6.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News this week, Sian said: "One of his friends in Colombia thinks the last time he spoke to Anton was August 6. My dad spoke to him on August 5. It was a videocall, he seemed to be behaving normal. He said he was planning on maybe briefly going to Ecuador, we're just not sure. He's definitely had major struggles with his mental health at a similar time last year so for the past year we've been keeping an eye on him but it has been a bit of a struggle."
Appeal to Anton
Leaving a message to Anton, Sian said: "Get in touch with his mum or dad. We're extremely, extremely worried. I know he doesn't have his own children, but he's got his nieces and siblings and we're worried. I don't fancy losing my brother in another part of the world."
A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office previously said: "We are supporting the family of a British man reported missing in Colombia and are in touch with local authorities."
