Bumping for Lars. Came across a few leftover flyers that I passed out last year or so? Maybe I should do it again... still lots of truckers from Romania/Bulgaria/Poland etc in the area. From all over Europe really.

Where are you, Lars?? :(

It is definitely one of the most mysterious missing person cases of the ZDF program "Aktenzeichen XY". Now the format reminds of the search for Lars Mittank.

Ismaning / Varna - It is one of the most mysterious criminal cases in Germany and apparently also one of the most enigmatic cases of the popular ZDF program "Aktenzeichen XY". In a specially written interview, Alfred Hettmer from the LKA Munich reminds of the missing Lars Mittank. The reason for the renewed search request: The relatives of the then disappeared 28-year-olds still live with the uncertainty. "The uncertainty is the worst and represents an enormous burden dar. Therefore, the relatives want to know one thing above all: What happened?" Alfred Hettmer explains the renewed memory of the case.

Aktenzeichen XY" renews search call: Where is Lars Mittank?
Although the missing person case was already treated in an "Aktenzeichen XY" special in June 2015, the 28-year-old still lacks every trace even after almost five years. His disappearance is still a mystery. On June 30, 2014, Mittank started a trip with friends to Varna in Bulgaria. There, the small group wanted to spend a carefree
summer vacation on the Golden Sands.

In a confrontation with strangers Mittank then suffered a blow to his ear, the reported the young man at least then his friends. Two days later, on the scheduled departure day, "Lars suddenly had doubts as to whether he could really make the flight with his damaged ear," explains Alfred Hettmer. On the same day, the then 28-year-old sought out a doctor, a diagnosed tympanic membrane prevented Lars Mittank from being allowed to fly back to Germany.
Lars Mittank still missing: "Aktenzeichen XY" publishes call
While his buddies had actually started the journey home without Lars, the young German was examined again in a special clinic. However, Mittank planned to carry out a recommended operation in Germany. With a prescribed antibiotic in his luggage, the then 28-year-old checked into a cheap hotel. This he left hastily in the middle of the night. In a panic, he called his mother and reported being followed. Why Lars Mittank felt persecuted and why the young man left the hotel is still unclear.
In order to obtain a flight permit for a return flight to Germany, Mittank then consulted the airport doctor. He also advised Mittank to stay in Bulgaria until the ear injury was treated.
On a surveillance video available to the police it can be seen how the young man leaves the practice while still talking. Lars Mittank also left his cell phone and luggage in the treatment room during his escape. The camera still recorded how the then 28-year-old even climbs over the outer fence of the airport, since then Lars Mittank every trace is lost [.....]

It's almost 5 years ago that Lars went missing. The weirdest case... I didn't realize that so much time has gone by already, without knowing. How devastating for his mother and friends.

The official Lars Mittank Facebook page has posted that a truck driver has come forward who gave a hitchhiker a ride who may have been Lars. The trucker saw a recent TV program about Lars. The hitchhiker was dropped off north of Berlin in Schildow.
The family is pleading for renewed efforts to look for Lars and for people to keep their eyes open for him and to call in any even small hints they may have.

Crossing my fingers!! So hoping this legit may have been Lars.

Let's hope so.. According to the msm, it seems that his family think it could be a serious lead..

"Now, the most mysterious criminal case of the ZDF broadcast could actually be solved. As relatives of the missing person explained about the homepage, which was set up years ago, Lars Mittank could actually have been seen in Germany.

In the brief statement, the family explains how concrete the hint now received is actually. Accordingly, a truck driver reported to the family.He explains that some time ago he brought a homeless man from the border near Dresden to Schildow, north of Berlin. A short time later, the driver apparently saw the search calls. He is very sure that the homeless person could actually be Lars Mittank.

The taken person should have been conspicuously thin, have spoken only the most necessary and have been fatigued. His hair was therefore neglected and about shoulder length, his eye sockets had been sunken.

As the family explains in the brief statement, the family has a lot of hope in this clue. "This may be a chance, even if it seems so small.Help us bring Lars home, apparently he does not remember where he lives."

Bulgaria: The Disappearance of Lars Mittank by Sonya Lowe

Bulgaria: The Disappearance of Lars Mittank (Evidence Locker)

by
Sonya Lowe
"After vacationing with friends in the beach resort of Varna in Bulgaria, Lars Mittank arrived at the airport, ready to return home to Germany.
CCTV cameras show that Lars walked around the check-in area aimlessly. He seemed calm and relaxed, just like any other traveller, waiting to board his flight. Hours later, Lars was seen running out of the airport, like the devil was chasing him. He left all his things: his phone, his bags, his ID…
Witnesses saw him climbing over an 8ft fence and run into a sunflower field. After that, he vanished into thin air and has not been seen since.
What happened to Lars?"

@ Dotr. Wow! Not wanting to be over sentimental...but sitting here with a lump in my throat. Hoping....

Is it a long time ago this trucker dropped this homeless person? I believe the last show was around June 15 2019.

„Aktenzeichen XY“: Einer der mysteriösesten Fälle vor der Auflösung? | TV This side is updated on July 21. Translated from German:

Update from July 21, 2019: Lars Mittank lacks any track for five years, file number XY renewed the search for the then 28-year-old in recent weeks several times. Now, the most mysterious criminal case of the ZDF broadcast could actually be solved. As relatives of the missing person explained about the homepage, which was set up years ago, Lars Mittank could actually have been seen in Germany. In the brief statement, the family explains how concrete the hint now received is actually. Accordingly, a truck driver reported to the family. He explains that some time ago he brought a homeless man from the border near Dresden to Schildow, north of Berlin. A short time later, the driver apparently saw the search calls.

His hair was therefore neglected and about shoulder length, his eye sockets had been sunken. As the family explains in the brief statement, the family has a lot of hope in this clue. "This may be a chance, even if it seems so small. Help us bring Lars home, apparently he does not remember where he lives. "The family appeals:" Keep your eyes open in the most remote corners, impenetrable forest areas, deserted gardens, big cities, everywhere he can be. Just take pictures, do not speak to him when you see him. Nobody knows how he will react. "

Bad news for Lars family:

'Update of July 25, 2019: The disappearance of Lars Mittank has been causing speculation for years, a few days ago, the mystery of his resolution seemed to have come a step closer. A truck driver believed that he had taken Lars Mittank in Germany. However, as the family of the then 28-year-old now reports, the supposedly homeless person was not the missing Lars Mittank.'

Oh darn how disappointing!! :(

More from your link:
"We just received a call from the police. The person who was seen several times in the room Schildow, it is not Lars," family members explain on the specially created for the search home page. Accordingly, the identity of the person seen is known. The first hot track for a long time therefore vanishes.

However, the family explains in the short statement: "Nevertheless we ask you to keep your eyes open all over Germany!"

Maybe I missed this, about the CCTV footage from the hotel. Four years after Lars Mittank became the "most famous missing person on YouTube" his family still clings to hope

Mittank eventually had to check into a cheap hotel called Hotel Color, near Varna Airport, as he saw his friends for the last time leaving in the plane.

One of Mittank's friends in the group later told a German television that Lars was "relaxed" and in a "good mood" when they left him.

However, Mittank's mother got a horrifying call from her son later from his hotel room, where her panicked son told her that he was being followed by some people who were trying to kill him. He reportedly told his mother to cancel his bank cards.

Mittank's mother, Sandra Mittank told a German TV: "I thought, god, my son is in danger. I could hear his heart pounding over the phone. He said people were trying to rob him or kill him."

He also sent a text to his mother asking her about the antibiotics he had been prescribed by the physician.

According to a CCTV footage of that hotel, Mittank was seen flustered, pacing up and down the hotel foyer, looking out the windows and even hiding in a lift.

Reports state that Mittank left the hotel at 1 am before returning later. No one knows till date where he went during that time.

The next day, Mittank texted her mother saying that he had safely made it to the airport terminal, however, when an airport doctor was examining him before flying, he reportedly appeared "nervous and erratic" and was also mistrustful of the drugs he had been prescribed by the physician.

The airport doctor, Dr Kosta Kostov, later said that Mittank began to tremble when he saw a construction worker entering the room and cried: "I don't want to die here. I have to get out of here."

Thank you for bringing up this case so that it will not be forgotten.
In fact, that's a very strange case and I'm afraid we will never know what really happened.

I am so sorry for his mother and his family.

Do we know if the fight actually happened? Were there are any witnesses to it? Ruptured eardrums happen without a person being wacked. It could be another sign that Lars was losing a grip on things.

I always thought it was telling that he sprints out of the airport before easing into a casual jog. If he really feared for his safety, he would've bolted it all the way. It was the behaviour of a confused, paranoid individual.

A few days ago, I read a blog and it was written, that he could not been found that evening,by his friends and was missing till the next morning.It also stated in that blogspot that he also had an injured jaw.

Lars was 28 years old at the time of his disappearance, makes me wonder if he and his friends had any contacts with girls/woman during their stay there...(maybe he runn into some trouble,because of that?) ..while he was waiting for his friends outside Mc Donalds.I find it hard to understand that he didn't go inside Mc Donalds to be with his friends,when he saw the "locals" there,who they had a dispute with,earlier that night over football.
