From the article:
The children thought he was dead and held memorial services for him for about 15 years.
That was until one Sunday evening in August the old man was left in front of the house by a car. Neighbors say the man was confused, that he no longer knew exactly what the gate was. And for them it was something strange to know that Vasile Gorgos was most likely dead after being missing for 30 years.
Gorgos’ daughter-in-law turned white when she saw him at the gate. She told her husband that her father had come home, believing at first it was a bad joke. Surprisingly, the old man seemed very well looked after, but when asked where he was he replied that he was home.
Most likely Vasile Gorgos suffers from a neurological disease because he does not remember where he was and does not remember his children very well. However, he remembers the events that happened before his disappearance.
In the old man’s pockets he found a ticket for that day’s train on the Ploiești – Bacău route, but also an identity card with the address of the Buhoci municipality. It is very likely that someone picked it up and took it home to the address in the bulletin.

Missing dad reappears 30 years later with the same clothes and no memory of what happened
Vasile Gorgos had gone to sell some of his cattle, as normal, but his family wouldn't see him again for 30 years

Crazy that he was wearing the exact outfit he left in 30 years ago!

Wearing the same clothes that look to still be in good shape instead of rags, Eastern European country, perhaps he was imprisoned and just released because of his age and loss of memory. Back when he disappeared, prison officials would take and keep what you came in with and you were given your things back when released. His clothes would still look okay if they'd been stored away for 30 years. Just a guess.
