LAHAD DATU: The search for a 61-year-old man who went missing inside Gua Tepadung, Segama, has entered its third day, with rescuers still combing the area for clues.

Ismail Ibrahim disappeared on May 26 while searching for swiftlet nests after being left alone in the cave by two companions who had gone out to find drinking water. When they returned, he was gone.
