Finnish man visiting Utah is missing since 5 March 2025:

UT Post in thread 'UT - Onni Llmari Raassina, 29, came to visit Utah from Finland, missing since 5 March 2025'

annpats said:
Well, getting a taxi from outside the airport to a destination 150 miles away must have cost so much money.

Also, to note, he's from Finland, so it's not like he wouldn't have any cold-weather or and boots.

Finland is also full of lakes too. Thousands of them. Crazy to think he came to the USA to visit one. Unless, if course, it was just his phone that pinged there and he is elsewhere.

I hope the taxi driver has been interviewed. He could've got some tidbits of information of the long 150 mile taxi ride!

Must be ca. 500$ if not more…

There's a Finnish metal band named after this case (Children of Bodom.) I saw them live a long time ago and they are great.
