Did he come to Poland alone?
Did he visit someone here?
Usually the British come in groups.

Polish MSM took up this case

"It is known that
Sam Kennedy did not board the return plane for which he had already purchased a ticket
and has not contacted his loved ones since then.

Police in Scotland are now understood to be working with Polish authorities and Interpol on the matter,
while the Foreign Office has said it is in contact with the family."

Is he stuck on a cactus?

I hope this young man is found, there seems to be scant detail out there, like who he was with or if he was alone, where he was last seen etc. Virtually nothing to go on.

 

[Interested_But_Confused]

Unless I'm missing something, there's a real lack of crucial information.

For example, Sam didn't board the flight home on the 27th, but when did his family actually last hear from him? When was the last contact anyone had with him?

What makes you wonder if he is stuck on a cactus? All I have read was that he did not take his flight home.

 

[ms_x_to_the_m]

Important info missing.
Where was he staying? luggage still there? did he check out?
visiting anyone, friends, family?
I am hoping he decided to extend his vacation and forgot to tell his family back home, hopefully.

The poster is making fun of the Jay Slater case as there were rumours earlier on that he was stuck on a cactus.

From Polish MSM

"The missing man's sister informed that the 20-year-old was staying in a hotel
located next to the Kazimierz district in Krakòw.

On Thursday,
he checked out of the hotel,
and later
trace of him was gone.

The man was due to return to the UK on Thursday but missed his return flight.

The man is of slim build, is about 175 cm tall and has green eyes.

He was supposed to celebrate his 21st birthday on Wednesday."

Does anyone know when he was reported missing? Just thinking that surely if he went missing last Thursday it wouldn't take until today for an appeal.

I'd imagine local police would have been investigating first to see if they could locate him.

However, according to the spokesman of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Krakow, subcommissioner Piotr Szpiech, the Polish police did not receive a report of Kennedy’s disappearance and is currently not conducting a search.

Thank you! I have not followed the Jay Slater case. (Gotta check it out now.) I was questioning the poster!

How strange!!!

British Police was informed
but
NOT Polish????


Well,
the guy is an adult,
it is holiday time,
maybe he decided to lengthen the stay?
Maybe he met someone, a girl perhaps?

But why he didn't inform family at home,
it is anybody's guess.

I hope he is OK.
My country is considered safe.

Did he book a direct flight? According to airport/arline data, direct flights from Krakow to Glasgow leave on Wednesday afternoon and Sunday evening. If his flight was on Thursday, it was probably not direct.

It said he was due to arrive home Thursday so perhaps he was getting the Wednesday one and arriving home the next day? Not sure how long flight is from Poland to Glasgow and time difference.

Edit: flight is around 5 hours so depending on the time in the afternoon of the flight it makes sense for him to arrive home Thursday.

Reports also say that he left his hotel on Thursday, so he could not have been on the Wednesday flight. It's a 3 hour flight with arrival in the early evening.

If he decided to stay longer,
he should have changed the date with airlines.
He had a return plane ticket already bought.

According to MSM reports
he was due to return to the UK on Thursday
but missed his return flight.

So...
He checked out of hotel on Thursday and...
vanished.

Did he take Uber to the airport?
Or...
Did he go somewhere else without informing the family?
