In July 2014, 28-year-old Lars Mittank vanished in one of the strangest missing persons cases ever recorded. While traveling in Bulgaria, Lars stayed behind as his friends returned to Germany—then abruptly fled Varna Airport, leaving behind his luggage, phone, and passport. Security footage captured his final known moments before he disappeared without a trace.

In this episode, we explore the timeline of Lars Mittank’s disappearance, examine chilling CCTV footage, and break down leading theories involving head injury, paranoia, medication, and possible foul play. More than a decade later, the mystery remains unsolved.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Lars Mittank is asked to call +49 1577 8300896, or the local non-emergency police number at 112. Or, email findet_lars@web.de.
