    The saddest part of this story is to think that someone could go missing and no-one would even notice and/or care……!?

    I wonder why the family never reported him missing. Maybe they were that close and didn’t know he was missing. But still tho a bit strange.

    Families, especially when it’s down to bro there’s and sisters who for whatever reason have grown apart can and do lose contact. Believe me.

    I would hate to belong to a family, country,or employer that did not notice a disappearance. I just wonder how good was the reconstruction- is there a reallife photo of him ?
