Missing doctor's family requests assistance in accessing his Apple account to locate him.

Tom Doherty, a 67-year-old doctor from St Albans, has gone missing in France while hiking in the Pyrenees near Col d’Escots on Tuesday. His family has not heard from him since he sent a photo on WhatsApp showing clouds over the top of a mountain around 5pm that afternoon. In the photo, it was evident that the weather was turning bad. Just two-and-a-half hours later, Tom sent a message saying that he had fallen and was unable to move. This was the last communication his family received from him.

It has now been four days since Tom’s disappearance and his family is growing increasingly worried. The weather in the region has been unfavorable, with thunderstorms and heavy fog. They fear that Tom may have been caught in the bad weather. In their search for him, they have turned to his Apple account, hoping that the location data attached to his photos and the Find My app could provide some clues. However, their attempts to access his account have been unsuccessful so far.

Tom’s niece, in a social media post, expressed the family’s desperation to access his Mac laptop, which is currently locked. They have been unable to unlock it as they have tried his password too many times. They believe that the laptop could hold valuable information about Tom’s last location and are eager to access it to check his iCloud and Find My app.

A search operation, involving dogs and helicopters, was launched after Tom’s disappearance. Tom’s wife and one of his children have been at his last known location since Wednesday morning. Tom, a grandfather-of-one, is described as an avid and experienced walker. He has three daughters and one son, and has been retired for almost a decade. Prior to retirement, he was a respected consultant of Tropical medicine and specialized in Malaria. He has spent most of his time in France since retiring.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has confirmed that they are aware of Tom’s disappearance and are supporting his family. They are also in touch with the local authorities. The weather in the region has continued to deteriorate since Tom went missing, adding to the family’s concerns. They are urging anyone with any information about Tom’s whereabouts to come forward and help them find him. They are desperate for any leads that could bring Tom back to them safely.
