Menerusi laman page Facebook Gopeng ULTRA, mereka memuatnaik gambar terakhir Ashraff (Acap) ketika melalui trail Bukit Batu Putih.
Manakala seorang netizen bernama Bee Ghozali pula berkongsi satu video di percayai Acap (dikenalpasti menerusi pakaiannya) ketika berada dipuncak bukit tersebut.
Menurut GOPENG ULTRA, seorang pelari, Dewi memaklumkan beliau ada meminta tolong Acap untuk mengambil gambarnya ketika berada dipuncak Bukit Batu Putih.
Kemudian Dewi meneruskan lariannya dan meninggalkan Acap dibelakang.
Seorang pelari lelaki bernama Marcel pula memberitahu dia ada memotong Dewi ketika menuruni Bukit Batu Putih tetapi kurang pasti adakah dia turut memotong Acap.
Dari info yang diberitahu Marcel, kemungkinan Acap berada diantara kedua pelari tersebut ketika di Bukit Batu Putih amat tinggi. Namun kehilangan beliau hingga kini masih kekal misteri.
Semoga pihak berkuasa dengan bantuan orang awam yang berusaha bersungguh2 dalam misi SAR ini berjaya menemui Acap dengan selamat.

We have a break regarding Ashraff final whereabout by info gathered from fellow runners who were able to identify him during the event. Based on the photos and videos we received, Ashraff was spotted at the peak of Bukit Batu Putih. He helped a runner named Dewi to take a photo of her at the Peak. After her photo was taken, Dewi continued the race, meaning she was ahead of Ashraff after Bukit Batu Putih.
Another runner named Marcel remember overtaking Dewi after coming down from Bukit Batu Putih, however he didn't remember overtaking Ashraff. By chronology, most probably Ashraff was between these two runners after Bukit Batu Putih.
Bukit Batu Putih is the most challenging part of the race. This is to confirmed that he did make it to the Peak. He can be identified in the video.
The reason we are sharing this info is with the intention that other runners might be able to remember/identify running along side Ashraff. Therefore we can close in on his final where about.
We would like to thank Dewi, Marcel & the photographers from adventuredotmy for sharing their information with us. If you have any info, please share with us first before posting it on social media. Currently we are working closely with the SAR Team to close-in on his final whereabout. Therefore each and every info matters.
In addition, the search-and-rescue mission today was assisted by Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM), abseiling team and more volunteers have come forward to help with the search. Radius of search completed from Bukit Batu Putih to Gua Tempurung.
Once again we would like to remind everyone, if you have any information regarding Ashraff, please private message us on facebook instead of publishing it on social media. Please respect the privacy of the parties we mentioned above. The reason they are mentioned is because other runners might be able to remember them and indirectly Ashraff too.
Your support is highly appreciated by us. Thank you.
