The partner of the British hiker who vanished in the Pyrenees has said there has been a "terrifying development" and that it no longer seems likely that she is still on the mountain.
Dan Colegate, who is the partner of missing Esther Dingley, said on the Facebook page where the couple share their trips that the search is likely to be wound down and the case is going to be handed over to what he described as a "specialised judicial unit" based in France.
