Associated Press

Police and military authorities are searching for an airman missing from the American base at Souda Bay, Crete, since Aug. 12.

The U.S. military has requested police help in tracking down Senior Airman Larry Gonzales, U.S. Embassy spokesman T.J. Dowling said Tuesday.

Gonzales’ hometown was not available.

Local media reported that police had found Gonzales’ car and were trying to locate two British women last seen with him.

The U.S. military base at Souda Bay is the only American military installation in Greece.

Basically a naval support unit, it plays a key role in American and NATO military interests in the Mediterranean.
