Richard M. Lee still missing + UPDATE July '13

It has been 8 weeks now since holidaying British citizen Richard Michael Lee was last seen in San Sebastian de la Gomera (see 3 previous posts in October). Sadly, the investigation has not produced any more information regarding his disappearance...
I've come across another photograph of the missing 56-year-old man, which is different to the passport image released by police here, and shows him wearing spectacles. I'm posting both below in the hope that someone may have seen the missing person.

Update July 2013:
On Wednesday, June 19th 2013, the body of a man was found at the bottom of a steep ravine near La Gomera's capital San Sebastian. The corpse was described by the police as being in 'an advanced stage of decomposition' and it was speculated that it may have been the body of missing British citizen R.M.Lee. It also appears that the listing of him as missing on 'missingabroad.org' has been taken off the website shortly after the find, fuelling speculation that it was his body. Anyway,the case appears to have been closed.
I would like to offer my sympathies to his family and friends.

Missing British citizen Richard Michael Lee: No further developments regarding the investigation have been reported locally. The search continues. Appeal for clues and please help to distribute photograph on the web! (See:HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN ? & British Citizen Missing On La Gomera  & Richard M. Lee still missing + UPDATE July '13) .

Other LA GOMERA NEWS: The government is to contract 89 previously unemployed workers for a 'socio-environmental correction' plan to alleviate and repair damages resulting from the recent forest fires that swept through several communities on La Gomera. More than 400.000 Euros have been allocated for the scheme.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN ?

Police have now released the passport photograph (above, click image to enlarge) of the missing British citizen (see my last post British Citizen Missing On La Gomera) and are asking for the picture to be widely distributed through social networks. There is still no trace of R.M.L. and the investigation has shown that he did not leave the island by ferry or by scheduled flight.

UPDATE 1: The missing man's full name has become known, it is Richard Michael Lee

Update 2: The 'Daily Mail' (online edition) has written about the case: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2221781/Richard-Michael-Lee-Hunt-British-hiker-missing-Canary-Islands-weeks.html?ITO=1490 . This article  takes most of the information from the Canary Islands daily 'La Opinion', but their theory that the man may have become stuck in a ravine while hiking in the National Park contradicts the locally-reported fact that he left his hiking gear in his hotel room. Also, the national park is more than ten miles away from his hotel.
