Man Who Spoke with Missing Teenager Lora Appears to Police

The man who was seen talking to 16-year-old Lora before her disappearance from Patras appeared voluntarily to the police. He claimed he met her to buy her old mobile phone for 200 euros. Security camera footage shows a brief and seemingly calm conversation between the two, with Lora leaving shortly after in a taxi. Authorities had discovered that the 16-year-old had recently purchased a new iPhone and told a friend she needed money to go somewhere. The investigation is ongoing, with police examining Lora's movements at a pawn shop and seeking further information about her disappearance. The 58-year-old man has no prior record with the authorities.
