THE family of Italian fashion executive Vittorio Missoni said yesterday they still believed he was alive, three days after his plane disappeared off the coast of Venezuela, and begged rescuers to find him.
The small plane carrying Missoni, 58, his wife Maurizia Castiglioni, another couple and two Venezuelan crew members went missing last Friday after taking off from the resort of Los Roques, an archipelago off the coast of Venezuela.
"We believe Vittorio, Maurizia, Elda and Guido are still alive!" Missoni's sister Angela wrote on Twitter. "Please help us find them and bring them back home."
Italian media have suggested Missoni, his wife and their friends may have been kidnapped.
The pilot of a Cessna 402 that took off exactly one minute after the plane carrying Missoni said he saw the plane disappear.
"I saw them right in front of me as they were swallowed up by a huge cumulus cloud," pilot Enrique Rada told Turin daily La Stampa in an interview published yesterday. "It was a lighting bolt. It must have been a lightning bolt."
Rada said he was contacted by the control tower advising him of the plane's disappearance shortly after he saw it enter the cloud. He said he tried to make radio contact with the plane's pilot but could not do so.
Missoni is the oldest son of the founders of the fashion house famous for its exuberantly colored knits.
