American scientist vanishes on Greek island of Crete.
U.S. citizen Suzanne Eaton, a 59-year-old research group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, was last seen on the afternoon of July 2 near the port city of Chania, where she was attending a conference. Greek authorities have launched a search for Eaton, according to the research institute.
The Hellenic Police, the national police service of Greece, did not respond to ABC News' request for comment. "Understanding this is speculative, since Suzanne is a keen runner and her running shoes have not been found, a ‘more likely’ scenario is that she may have gone for a run," the institute said Friday in an earlier statement."There are many observations that challenge such a theory including the heat of the day suggesting that a swim would have been more attractive.
