The man who spoke fluent German wandered through several cities in the Northern Netherlands (Groningen, Friesland?, Flevoland) in June and July 2020. On he 17th of July he was found deceased (natural causes) near a bench at the Zwolseweg in 's Heerenbroek (Overijssel, near Zwolle).
Before that time he was spotted/spoken to by police in:
- Beerta, Groningen at 15th of June 2020. He indicated to police that he didn't want any help
- Bangeweer, Groningen at the 22nd of June spoken to briefly by the police. He indicated his identification papers were stolen. He said that he came on foot from Germany since 3 months ago because he had to leave his rental house and was headed to the South.
- Emmeloord, Flevoland on the 12th of Juli. Police brought him to the salvation army where he got new shoes and washed his clothes (and maybe got new clothes) and food. He said he was headed to The Hague to get new identity papers.
Apparently he didn't head for The Hague (which is in Southwestern direction) but rather to the Southeast where he was found 5 days later in 's Heerenbroek.
The police couldn't determine his identity. He only had a paper in his pocket with a few names, among which "Cornelius Wagner". Which they checked and found out that he used this name in his earlier interactions with the police. They checked the identity in Germany and found out that the name was not correct. Nobody was born in Munster with that name/date of birth.
He Spoke fluent German, which leads the police to assume he is from Germany originally.

Since this is such a fresh case, with such a clear origin from Germany, hopefully this man can soon be identified.
