Yorkshireman Aidan Roche, 29, was last heard from on June 22 while in the Grindelwald area of Switzerland on a solo hike, just two days before he was set to travel home. His older brother Niall told the Mirror it was not a particularly difficult trail and of how out of character the disappearance is. Niall said: "There's none of his bag or anything that he had with him. It doesn't make sense how we haven't found anything. We've searched thoroughly. There is not a trace." Friends and family are desperately hoping for more clues as the Swiss police and mountain rescue service have ceased their efforts after "exhausting every option" with no new evidence. A GoFundMe campaign has now exceeded its £30,000 goal, with funds going towards generating new leads by raising awareness in the area, as well as the use of a search helicopter. Aidan Roche is an experienced 29-year-old hiker from Middlesbrough. His day job is as an offshore chemical engineer where he works three weeks abroad and three weeks off. He spends all of his time off walking and being in the outdoors. His brother Niall told the Mirror: "This is what he does when he's not working. So he's fully kitted out for it." The 6ft 2in tall man grew up in Longlands, a central Middlesbrough neighbourhood and had been living in Leeds before just moving back to the home area before he went away. Aidan's friend Beth Taylor says he had a distinctive tattoo on his arm reading "MAYASWELLMAYSENYA" and loved to play "blaring" music from a speaker as he walked. "He is just really happy and outgoing. He's got loads of friends. He's really social, you know, he's constantly busy when he's back){kind=link}
