The family of Spanish trekker Santiago Sanchez say he has gone missing while attempting to hike from Madrid to Doha, Qatar, for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
According to the Associated Press (via ESPN.com), Sanchez last contacted his family on Oct. 2 after making his way to Iran. His last post on Instagram, where he has been documenting his journey, was one day earlier.
Sanchez's parents reported him missing on Oct. 17.
"After a few days, we didn't worry about him not posting; it matched what he had said," his mother, Celia Cogedor, said.
