Lars Mittank, a young German tourist, vanished without a trace during his vacation in Varna, Bulgaria, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. Join us as we embark on a riveting journey into the heart of this enigma, exploring the various theories and evidence surrounding this perplexing disappearance.
In June 2014, Lars Mittank, a 28-year-old man with no history of mental illness, embarked on a trip with his friends to enjoy the Bulgarian coastline. However, what should have been a memorable vacation soon turned into a chilling mystery. It all began at Varna Airport, where Lars engaged in a mysterious altercation with fellow travelers, leading to his subsequent paranoia and erratic behavior.
As the days unfolded, Lars's anxiety escalated, and he became increasingly convinced that he was being pursued by unknown individuals. Fearful for his safety, he abruptly abandoned his friends and sought refuge in a nearby hotel. What happened next remains shrouded in darkness, as Lars vanished into thin air, leaving behind his belongings, including his passport.
As we delve deeper into this perplexing case, we'll examine the various theories that have emerged over the years. Was Lars the victim of foul play, caught in the clutches of a criminal organization operating in the region? Or did he fall victim to an unfortunate accident, losing his way in the unfamiliar surroundings?

Quite disgusting to have a sponsor on such a serious video tbh smh.
It’s the fact that he wasn’t located again is what makes this case so bizarre.
Honestly some murderers must be pissed about that. They go to such lengths to hide bodies and this guy casually does it himself.
The cartel probably killed him or something you never know he was in a different country 😬
He was located 3 Month After somewhere in varna.

@@controversialverbal3792 Star fm creepy hour Podcast on Spotify, the private Detektiv Rainer Told that . A prostutiute spoke With Lars mittank ok october 2014 and ask him some fun. But lars declined With his broken english. So she asked him where he is going. He said he is going to his hotel where he lives. And she says when always a car crossed the street, lars hide always. Later they find a main trailer dog From a bulgarian and it was 100% proofed that was Lars. Sorry for my english
As a child I got an infected eardrum. I was given anti biotics in time, but before they kicked in I had the worst fever and delirious state and hallucinations I have ever experienced.
I was later told that an ear infection due to its location and that it can effect your balance and equilibrium make them quite a dangerous infection.
I don't doubt he was attacked by some football hoodlums, and the infected injury PLUS the feeling of trauma and paranoia after the attack COULD theoretically lead to a psychotic episode.
He may have ran as far away as he could and then hid himself. With the possibility of a severe ear infection affecting his balance, along with the fact he was carrying no water or warm clothing might mean he may have died within as little as a few days.
Wouldn’t anyone have eventually found his body??
@@doonagoding6146 Maybe one day someone will. But he may have walked many miles into the hills or forest, and if he was trying to hide he may have gotten himself hidden into the base of a tree trunk, or into a hole in the ground, or into a little cave or god knows where. He may be just a little skeleton now, huddled into a ball, hiding in some forgotten part of the world...
I've been curious about this case for maaaany years. I didn't know about the infection but as you've explained, this fully solves it for me. Ear infections can be horrendous, speaking from experience. The fever and the dizziness can be so extreme
There was no episode...
Lars was targeted and abducted
@@user-so9qk1nf4tAbducted how? He's the one who ran out, so he wasn't kidnapped.
You handle missing persons cases so well! Really respectful to the 'victims' but very informative too. Bravo PI!
Thank you. I try to remember that all these stories aren't just some tale of woe, it's a real persons suffering and should be treated with some respect
@@tonybean642The man's gotta make a living, but I will agree that he should have had that be at the very beginning of the video. I get that he might have figured that going straight into an ad would turn people away, but the jump from the synopsis of the case to a much lighter ad, then back to a more serious tone caused some whiplash.
@@r.o.e.408huh?
I would assume the fight just knocked his brain the wrong way which made him crazy paranoid. No idea how he just vanished though.
When someone is that paranoid, anything can happen. Like the belief that he got some government surveillance nanobots in his lungs from the filtered air on the aircraft, and he needed to go jump in the nearest body of water and rinse his lungs out.
Of course, that belief could have taken a few days to solidify. He could have been hiding in the woods and seen people looking for him and wondered, "how are these people finding me? Maybe I have a tracker inside me" and it just spirals from there
@@cyleleghorn246 Took the words right out of my mouth.
I spent a fair chunk of my adolescence in and out of psych wards so I've had several friends with paranoia to that degree. (I've also dealt with severe paranoia, I count myself lucky not to trust myself enough to have fully believed it tbh.) It's sad and scary and there's only so much people can do, even less when the person is an adult. Psychiatric holds can only last so long and it's easy to pretend you're not a threat to yourself even when you're that paranoid.
@@sourgreendolly7685 yep. I'm sure getting beaten up in the foreign country was traumatic, too. It could have started by him getting off the flight and just seeing someone in the airport who looked like one of the attackers, sending him straight into flight mode that never wore off. The paranoia began after the fight, but the final trigger seems like it happened in the airport or maybe on the plane.
@@cyleleghorn246 Maybe the thought of being stuck on a plane for an extended period of time unable to flee from whatever was scaring him was what caused him to panic and he just bolted before getting that far.
either killed or an accident occurred where he died silently and no one knew about it.
This isn't in topic specifically but:
I *REALLY* appreciate you explaining how listed side effects come to be. There's such a lack of understanding around those sorts of things and it can lead to people not taking medication that they might actually need.
I learned it from my psychiatrist as a teenager. He was super informative, he'd always take out a big book of medications and show me what a med looked like along with stuff like side effects. I wish we had more doctors like him out there- people would be a lot better informed if professionals like him were the norm!
Thanks, it's through 20 years of trial volunteering that I learned that. I have a real keen interest in medicine so id pick the doctors brains when they came to see us and that's how I know.
The public generally lacks knowledge about drug development it's whg everyone thinks the C vaccine was 'unsafe' they just didn't understand the process.
@@PeakedInterest It is possible to get side effects that aren't listed sometimes I just think it's rather uncommon. When I was first diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago I was trying medications and one ended up giving me something I believe is called Alice-in-Wonderland syndrome that was so bad I was immediately taken off it. It isn't listed as a side effect even now and even my psychiatrist said they had never heard of it as a side effect before. She said that because I'm neurodivergent (ADHD and Autism) I may just be particularly sensitive to medications. So from personal experience I know it isn't impossible, but it is probably rather unlikely...
My Dr put me on meds that unknown to me interfered with b12 and lead to the worst depression I've ever felt that ruined my holiday cuz she wouldn't switch me on short notice, she didn't know about the b12 thing I had to learn that from reddit
As someone who got into a motorbike crash and had their eardrum fully ruptured and infected, I'd say your theory is correct. I could not be left alone for the next few weeks, as I'd wake up not knowing where I was and generally confused, I also developed a bad case of tinnitus which further added to my paranoia. All this together, plus him being alone, in a fight, and in a foreign country, I could easily see his reaction as a result of his symptoms, I'd probably have done the same.
Hi
I love your "Camp Fire" analysis.
Before you even mentioned about the infection progressing to the brain, I remembered when I visited my grandmother, she looked scared, said don't turn on the tap there's worms coming out!
Turned on the tv, she said
"They the ones after me, be careful, hide!"
I felt her forehead, it was very warm.
I called her GP.
She had an infection that progressed to the brain.
She was given antibiotics.
As soon as she finished the course, she was back to normal.
Yes, I too believe that he didn't take his medication and sadly something bad happened to him and if there was a 3rd part involved, panicked and may be the unthinkable happened and disposed of his body.
Otherwise, his mother would have searched all the hospitals!
Hoping he is out there safe and well and has returned home safely.
This is a very sad case
I think your theory is completely valid. The only other thing that makes sense to me is if he had been suffering from the very early stages of mental illness/schizophrenia that hadn't be remarkable until this event. The only symptom that hasn't been accounted for is his apparent lack of appetite before the scuffle. I wonder if he was already ill with something.
Yeah, the symptoms of schizophrenia are _INCREDIBLY_ easy to hide. I know because I have it. Nobody, not my friends or my family, knew anything at all was wrong with me until I got diagnosed and told them about it. The symptoms had been there for at least a year, and had been getting worse and worse, but it's incredibly easy to hide them and act completely normal and so nobody knew anything. I saw, of all things, a RUclips video about the symptoms of schizophrenia, realised I had it, and went to the hospital A&E (the British name for the emergency room) where they diagnosed me, and then I started seeing a long term psychiatrist who confirmed the diagnosis. Paranoid schizophrenia.
I really don't think most people have even the first clue how severe mental illness works. They think it looks like it does in Hollywood movies. But it doesn't. You'll never be able to tell, even when you think you could. Even in the people you're closest too.
And so this guy could have been suffering from the symptoms of it for months, or even years, and this is just the first time it really got bad enough that it could be easily noticeable, at which point he's already deep into an episode of psychosis and it's very hard to break him out of that if he's afraid of medication. You'd have to force him to take them. Then they'd start to work and he'd exit from the episode, hopefully.
Not saying this guy definitely had a mental illness like that, just that it's very very possible, and even his friends and family would have had no idea anything was even wrong with him. It probably was just encephalitis. But yeah.
He was 28. Schizophrenia manifests during your late teens and early twenties. If he was schizophrenic people would have known.
@@frank234561 I understand what you're saying - it doesn't come on suddenly. But just so you know, people can develop schizophrenia at any age. There is even Late and Very Late Onset Schizophrenia people can get in their 60's and beyond. My mother became schizophrenic in her 80's.
This reminds me of a relative, he was around 30. Left the house because he thought there was a war outside. Police found him talking crazy stuff outside of a spa. He had not taken his meds in days. I dont know which illness he had but he used to creep me out as a kid
@@aksez2u That is very rare. I was talking typically.
The final recording where he is sprinting out the airport is so scary just what was going through his head I cannot even imagine 😢
If you been targeted and followed you would do the same
Poor Lars was clearly suffering from a psychotic break, whether induced by encephalitis, or by the stress of his situation, or due to a random brain glitch. Heck, he could even have suffered some kind of traumatic brain injury during his beatdown, which was missed by the medics who subsequently examined him. Since he never reappeared after running out of the airport & into the foliage, I suspect he found himself a really good hiding place & died there within a day or two, whether from brain injury, infection, hypothermia, or something else. I bet his buddies who were on the trip with him have been kicking themselves ever since for not sticking around even though he told them to go home -- he clearly had no idea how badly off he was. I feel so bad for his friends & his mum!
That mentality makes it easier for criminal entities to thrive.
He was assaulted once, so let's rule out the possibility that he was pursued further??? What???
@@jumpinjohnnyrussI am not even sure he was beat up. Maybe a fall during a blackout or something.
Lars said he was beat up by some gangsters hired by the Munich fans at a bar. According to Mittank they said something to the effect of “It’s easy to hire locals to beat up people here” paranoia much?
I can’t really see what he could have done as a tourist to upset the mafia so badly they put out tons of resources and risk to put a hit on him or that he was so wealthy he was worth kidnapping for ransom.
Mafia often run bars, restaurants, hotels and hearing about a tourist killed there would be bad for business also.
He ate badly was the first symptom either he did amphetamine or it was just onset of a psychosis and or mania naturally.
@@Rocketman0407 Where's the risk to tourism when they can rely on people to dismiss their crimes as "paranoia much"? That dismissal won't become valid until people stop resorting to it.
@@jumpinjohnnyruss that does not make sense since his mom was the one that told about his odd behavior . Not fake witnesses that the mafia was paid to go to the news with to cover it up.
So if he is kidnapped, what was the motive?
Why kidnap him by the airport? Worst place to do that
Why did he not run to security?
Why was he supposedly kidnapped once at the airport out of the cameras and not before?
@@Rocketman0407 His mother regarding his behaviour as strange doesn't make it not make sense. She might have been infected by the "paranoia much" disease, too.
The motive could have been to keep the network strong. If people in the network see a target escape, the people that comprise it are less fearful of it.
He may not have got kidnapped at the airport. He rain away from the airport.
It might have been hinted to him that security was in on it.
Maybe he foolishly gave them the opportunity by going off on his own.
What about a head injury? Could that have caused confusion and paranoia?
It's definitely a possibility!
I love how respectfully you approach your topics, with genuinely unbiased fairness. RUclips needs so many more people like you. ✌
Same! I hate how a lot of youtubers will just dismiss people as crazy and glorify stuff like this
SO happy to see you getting traction again! Grats on the sponsorship and all the patrons! Also WOW this story is bizarre O_O Your theory makes the absolute most sense out of everything I... read on Wikipedia LOL. Also, we may not even have to get as far as a brain infection. The inner ear controls balance, focus, motion and relationship between your perception of your surroundings and reality. EASILY he could have gotten paranoid from the feeling his world was shifting on its axis, didn't trust anything he saw, was told or interacted with and just... needed to get the hell away from it. At that point, any number of things may have gotten him (and god I hope so because encephalitis is a PAINFUL way to go). I definitely think he's likely dead at this point. Some people have mentioned possible sightings but it's never been confirmed. If he IS somehow still alive, probably a damn good chance that inner ear issue DID do permanent damage, likely DID spread to his brain and even if he fought off the fever and swelling, damage is incredibly likely. Poor guy. I feel for him and his family.
This case reminds me of the guy who was found dead in a parking lot with multiple denominations of money in his pockets. He was last seen in various places hundreds of miles apart. Who was that guy?
@@G.reviewz "racks" are you really that clueless? lots of money, dude.....
@@theOldApple556 go fuck yourself mate yeah i never heard of it reffered to as that before ok.
@@theOldApple556 You sure? I was thinking that he might have been from Europe and had many different country’s currencies on him but no clue, really.
Yeah, basically, he had a whole bunch of different size bills. I think he also had some German and Canadian money or something like that. He might have even had some gold or jewels, but the dude was loaded. Somebody killed him, and he was acting really paranoid beforehand. But whoever killed him didn't take his money or the valuable stuff he had on him. They just left him dead in a parking lot or something. It's a total mystery, as far as I know. I just don't remember his name.
Ahh yes… I think his name was Blair? Can’t remember the surname. Very strange circumstances around his death.
I agree about the infection. The ear canal is very, very close to the brain, separated only by the tegmen. If that thin little section of bone is injured, bacteria can just waltz into downtown braintown.
I hope he's found someday, for the sake of his family if not his own.
I think it's most likely that his ear injury or perhaps an undiscovered brain injury caused his rapid behaviour change, or a brain infection as you say. Honestly it could've even been a PTSD break from being beaten badly in a forgien country. My question is why he was never found. That's the stranger bit to me, he ran to a forest that was clearly close to civilisation but not even a body was recovered? That doctor in the airport saw a man sprint after mumbling about dying and having been beaten days before and didn't call security? That's the weirder part, why was no investigation carried and why was he never found?
There have been some (albeit unconfirmed) sightings of him throughout the years, so perhaps his condition wasn't deadly and he somehow was able to survive. Being alone in a foreign country with no personal identification like your ID while also quite possibly still suffering from some kind of psychosis or paranoia would make the sightings make sense. A truck driver said he gave a ride to a hitchiker that, upon later learning about Lars' missing case, looked like a worn-down older looking Lars. Of course, none of these sightings have been confirmed, but perhaps he's still out there somewhere. Or maybe his body was eaten by wild animals and that's why they never found him.
This case has always baffled me, i’d love to hear your opinion on Paulette Gebara, she was ‘missing’ for 9 days, her body was found in her own bed AFTER polide had searches, being remade/sat on etc, her family even did interviews sat on the bed,
I think her family have something to do with it :/
That girl wasn't found in her bed. She was found at the foot of the bed. Between the bed and bed frame. It was an accidental death. She died from asphyxiation.
I know just how does a body go unnoticed at the foot of a bed? Plus her bed was so big I have seen pictures of her bed. That bed was way too big for a small child and she was only three or four years old. Also after 9 days they find her badly decomposed body at the end of her bed beneath her sheets and duvet cover was also very strange. She was from Mexico and with the hot weather there and the decomposing body I’m surprised they didn’t smell anything or notice anything. Wouldn’t there have been flies around the area where her body was later discovered?
Love this channel, finally we have someone who doesn't just recycle creepy/spooky events but adds something to them and then offers up theories that little to no one's else has heard of. Well done mate, my new favourite channel! Love you content!
28 years old is actually around the prime age to develop schizophrenia. It's possible that he already had paranoid tendencies and the fight was what sent him off the deep end.
It's such a pleasure being able to watch your latest video. It's been a while since the last time I visited your channel, but I wanted to let you know that I greatly enjoy the quality content you make. Last Autumn, I even played your Andrew Gosden video to "pique" my students' interest during a lesson.
I think it was a manic schizophrenic episode. This story is a bit similar to what happened to a friend of mine. Nobody knew he had mental issues (schizophrenia often stays unnoticed until it gets really bad). One day, while traveling, he suddenly disappeared. We called the police and a few days later we got the news that he is in a mental hospital. Turned out that he went to the airport, tried to get an earlier flight because he thought someone followed him, ran out of the airport at some point and was luckily stopped by police and brought to a hospital. Doctors later said that some stressful situation during the trip might have triggered the psychosis. In Lars' case, I don't think it was triggered by an infection or the medication as he already started to behave differently earlier (Disappearing after the bar visit). Him thinking that the Bayern Munich fans hired someone to assault him sounds odd too. I think he was already affected by his mania at this point and probably got into trouble by behaving weirdly on the streets.
His friends and familly described him as a normal person. Only after him and his friends went to a bar did he start showing sighns of low appetite for some reason and then after the bar fight and after 4 guys beat him up just then did he start acting really weird like calling his mom just to whisper to her "theyre going to kill me" and also hiding in the elevator and pacing trough the halls of the hotel he was staying in. So i think either what he was saying is true or his ear rupturing was the problem. Either way his friends shouldnt have left him alone in another country. I know he told them he can be by himself but thats no reason to leave a FRIEND alone in ANOTHER COUNTRY
I'm glad I came across this channel.. I think I'm gonna binge watch a few before I take a nap
I'm wondering if it was a epidural hematoma. The ear injury indicates he was struck on the side of the head. A strong enough blow to the side of the head could rupture the middle meningeal artery, causing rapid formation of a hematoma. The hematoma could cause, over the course of several days (in some people it can be hours or minutes depending on the severity of trauma), result in compression of the brain and if it's compressing more of the prefrontal cortex, could result in bizarre personality changes. He runs off into the woods, and the hematoma continues to expand, eventually resulting in pushing the brain down onto the brainstem (uncal herniation), resulting in respiratory compromise. I think meningitis, as you mentioned, is a possibility, but I think he would generally appear far more sick in meningitis, and not be as active, but I've seen a wide range of meningitis presentations so it's a very real possibility. I had a case a while back where mastoiditis (bone near the ear becoming infected) transformed into meningitis, which then triggered a devastating brain bleed (SAH). I had another case where someone struck their head, and then presented months later, and had massive hematomas in their skull, but it had formed slowly enough to not kill them. So presentations can be all over the place - slow and fast.
EDIT: I will also add, that’s usually how people die in “one punch fight deaths” where a person is hit or pushed, falls, and strikes their head once, then dies. Because they struck an area with enough force to cause an epidural or rapid subdural hematoma to form and kill them, and they figured one head strike was not worth going to the hospital for. He could’ve gotten into a scuffle, struck his head, and figured it wasn’t a big deal being part of the fight, but could’ve been the origin of his symptoms.
Another stellar video, good sir. Cheers from across the pond
Fantastic video, as always
You always make excellent videos. Well done. Keep them coming. 😊
Thank you Amy. I really appreciate that
Your videos and analysis are fantastic. Some of the highest quality content on youtube.
Thank you so much, that is some of the highest praise on RUclips. Really appreciate it
Wow, one of the most interesting videos I've seen on RUclips in a while!
Hadn't come across your youtube channel before but will definitely be spending the rest of the evening going through your videos :)
So weird and eerie when people just... disappear.
Thanks so much for the new content! As always, your content is so, so professional and grounded. A very special day when it's a Peaked Interest Day!!🙏🖤✌️
I think it much more likely that the ear infection would cause issues than any antibiotics. My ears don't drain, born with the canal in a J rather than an L shape. So I had infections constantly growing up. They can really mess with you. Our inner ears control so much of our perception of the world, Vertigo, hallucinations etc, plus possible fever and if the infection was something that could pass the blood brain barrier...
Wish this were longer 😭 great video with superb narration 😄
excellent analysis
I don't like missing persons cases bc you get no closure at the end, and it always freaks me out & leaves me unsettled, bc like, where did they go? People don't just vanish, they have to be Somewhere, alive or not... It's maddening to not know.
Yo im so glad you brought back the campfire analysis
This channel is so incredibly underrated
Great presentation, love your style. Hope Lars is found one way or another : ) X
Large Mid Tank. Great subtitles RUclips..
I commented on another vid, but I want a campfire analysis on "The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run." It's unsolved and not overdone on YT. Plus,1930's shanty towns, Eliot Ness, prohibition in the US. It all seems right up your history-loving alley.
They're all things I can add to the list. I can't promise to make videos about them because not every story can be made into a video. But I will research them and see where it goes. Elliot Ness is the 'untouchable' right?
The sudden damage to his eardrum activated a latent susceptibility to psychosis, which is what he was suffering from, in increasing severity, after the brawl with the bar patrons. It's unusual for a ruptured eardrum injury to cause a psychosis directly or to indirectly bring it about, but it has happened.
But where is the body then? People don’t tend to die the horrible death you described and conveniently hide themselves so well in the meantime that they’re never seen again.
Possible that he fell into water? Bumped head and drowned? ( but I think he might float later, ugh). Very sad strange tale
Didn't eat much is what people do when they're on stimulants. So is psychosis and hallucinations. Lack of sleep causes EXTREMELY vivid hallucinations
Thanks for subtitles in Portuguese 😊
Yes I'll definitely give this a second view for the hard work that goes into this channel.
I think your theory is the best one I've heard.
The problem with this theory is that his body was never found. It sounds likely that an infection made him delirious, but I don't think it was his cause of death because his body would've been found if it had. I think he might have run into the sea or something like that as a result of his delirium and that he was never found for that reason.
Sounds like schizophrenia. My ex husband acted exactly similar to that. He refused medication. I left him after 11 years. It was hell. He's been homeless for 3.
Greeting from Bulgaria ! My first thought was he took some sketchy drugs. This happens a lot to a foreigners in Bulgaria.
This is so tragic. He was just a normal guy and then a random assault turned him crazy and he killed himself before anyone could notice.
this is the best channel
Great video! I think you're on to something with your theory.
My theory is that he was possibly given the wrong medication and it messed with his brain. Plus, him having an ear infection probably didn't help at all either. All this combination of factors possibly made him paranoid and it lead to him dying in the middle of nowhere.
Wow, a country where you can just check in to the doctor anytime and get help. I live in Canada, and if you want to see a doctor, they're like, 'See you in a month,' or five months sometimes.
Are you from Lancashire but live in America? Crazy mix of accent you got there, mate.
thank you for putting a less distracting background music
So his friends just left him alone in a strange country while he recovered? I wonder why they didn’t stay with him. One of his friends could have easily worked something out and taken a later flight home with him. His mom believes he is still alive but he may have suffered from memory loss.
He was assaulted by football fans and that led to this situation.
I can't imagine anything more stupid than fighting over a football team, whose players don't care at all about the guys watching them play on television. 😅
I hope the guys who jumped Lars are struggling with the fact they they are responsible for this
It’s possible they don’t even know about the case. I think it’s really bad the did not investigate more of what happened while he where at the resort town. Especially the McDonald’s evening.
Someone said this was over soccer? Which is it.
It was a simple case of psychotic break. Nothing less, nothing more.
I'll throw another theory out there: he could have been muling. Perhaps the entire group was. The fact that not one of Lars' friends stayed with him has always struck me as odd. Speaking of; prophylactic antibiotics for an injury (presumably) caused by blunt force trauma seems a bit unusual to me, but I'm no expert.
Agreed. I'm leaning to the mule theory, willingly or otherwise some or all of his group were muling, and Lars either didn't want to go along with it from the get go or changed his mind only to be coerced with that beating into agreeing again, and then again getting cold feet and trying to flee.
Took me a second to register what you meant by muling but that's a possibility for sure!
With the prescription, my understanding is that's more likely to happen to tourists from wealthier countries in places like Bulgaria due to a combination of less up to date medical knowledge and wanting to appease tourists. It could just be more likely there in general for the former reason as well. Over prescription of antibiotics wasn't being as discussed, especially as heavily, before the past couple of decades when we started seeing more 'superbugs' so it stands to reason that some places might be behind on that discussion.
This theory is very likely.
muling?
@@catscanhavelittleasalami transporting drugs
Another reason the trafficking theory doesn't make sense is the fact that he ran outside. He was in a safe place - with the doctor inside an airport. It would be different if he had been picked up in a car and driven off our something like that. How would traffickers know that he would be running off at that exact time?
What a heartbreaking case, especially for his family and friends. 😥
I think it's more likely he was simply severely concussed.
Same. Or he got bad drugs. People are getting overly complicated about this case.
Wouldnt an infection take longer to develop those paranoid symptoms ? And he immediately showed signs of paranoia. I think its more likely that the beating he took mixed some wires up in the brain. So his paranoia could have possibly resulted from brain trauma
My cousin is severely, severely autistic. When he is out of control, his doctor prescribes antibiotics for a few days. It calms him right down. Apparently there’s a strong connection between the gut microbiome and the brain. Autistic children might be at a higher risk for gut dysbiosis hence why antibiotics sometimes help with their psychological distress.
Since I have a close relative whose physiological distress is improved by common antibiotics, it’s not hard for me to imagine that antibiotics could cause the opposite reaction in some people, disrupting the gut biome and causing or augmenting psychological symptoms.
I think you’re possibly right about the ear infection, just don’t want to be too quick to dismiss the possible role of medication here since I’ve witnessed it first hand.
That's interesting. How are his teeth? It could be what you've hypothesized, but it could also be that he's having a gum or tooth infection that's affecting his brain/behavior.
Lars disappearance.... If he was hallucinating and crazy..., he should have been found later.
I am from Bulgaria 🇧🇬!
this all sounds like a fallout of a brain injury he likely incurred in that brawl, which wasn't looked at/properly diagnosed
The question is if their ever was a brawl. He waited for his friends outside a restaurant while they were eating, but when they came outside he was back at the hotel. The next day he explained he had to leave after some football fans had a verbal fight with him and afterwards they hired some bulgarian/russian guys to beat him up. No one besides himself witnessed the interaction. And doesn't it seem strange that you go back to your hotel alone after a brawl instead of inside to get the help of your friends? And what football fans would hire someone else to beat someone up instead of a direct fight after an argument. This rather seem like part of his psychosis.
I dunno what it is about ure videos but i cant stop watching keep up the great work my dude ❤❤
Maybe a manic episode? I had a manic episode once and it was quite similar - I got this extreme need to flee, later I calmed down and came back but it takes about 24 hours to calm down and get your wits about you 😢.
Also - sunshine causes my mania, lack of appetite happens during my mania, and risk taking like picking fights happens. I believed I was being followed by the fbi, Sheriff, police, and my former employer - it's feels like the world is after you.
mental illness can be random and take people by suprise so this could be why he went AWOL
Who is the ominous woman with a stroller or luggage cart who apparently followed him as he left the doctor's office? It is a link in the chain of organized crime, in this case organ trafficking.
In addition, the airport is a high-security area where an alarm is triggered immediately if a person runs away from a medical examination and climbs over fences. There are also said to be hundreds of recordings from cameras installed in and around the entire airfield area
How big was the woods that he disappeared into? Was there a search for his body?
Wasnt he hit in the head? Cant that cause some major stir in the brain to where it causes you to become psychotic?
Why was the lady waiting and hurriedly followed him after he ran out the drs office?
The question still remains, why was he never found ?
He would have been wandering in the wilderness for two maybe three days completely confused and paranoid. When he died it sprobably it was in a random spot
Everybody should watch hostile, breakdown, and other movies to give them a sense of healthy paranoia before traveling, or just watch this channel. Paranoia can be a life saver. STAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS! ASSUME THE WORST, hope for the best.
God I love this channel, I just discovered it and have some time to binge.
Head on a swivel everyone!
I agree with your theory but where is his body x
Psychosis is a rare adverse side effect of many antibiotics
I think he started going into psychosis before that though. His friends noticed he was barely eating. The McDonald’s story sounds like some kind of Paranoia. Maybe he blacked out that night and his delusional mind made him have false memories.
Why he seemed fine otherwise was probably because the alcohol was masking the psycotic symptoms. Alcohol has some antipsychotic effects being a downer.
Even before the idea of Lars contracting an infection was mentioned, that was my thought as well. Someone who's completely normal and lucid with no history of mental illness doesn't just randomly develop psychosis. Lars probably didn't start taking the antibiotics soon enough, which caused bacteria to take hold in his brain via the ruptured eardrum. The infection subsequently led to his distrust of the antibiotics, which meant he didn't take them at all. I'm sure he's deceased, unfortunately, regardless of what happened. 😢RIP Lars.
He was at the exact age where schizophrenia manifests.
@@vortex_1336 That's true.
Always pleased to see you upload. I've heard this case before and I came to the same conclusion as you.
My grandad had a few infections before he died and was incredibly paranoid at times. It really warped his mind before they were treated.
Either that or a traumatic brain injury during the fight that caused the delusions.
How his body hasn't even been found is so bizarre to me.
Because he isn't dead. He is still schizophrenic, wandering around/hitch hiking and trying to avoid the people trying to kill him. A trucker reported to have picked him up a year later around warna.
His name actually was Large Mid Tank?
After watching your Benoit video , surely a head injury or some kind of concussion could be a possibility in relation to getting jumped.
About 10 years ago, a guy in my neighborhood lived with his mom. His friend was getting married and they went to a Gentleman’s club w/VIP service (they were roped off). A guy came in their area to tip a stripper and got into a verbal altercation with the guy from my neighborhood.
The bad guy hit my neighbor with a champagne bottle. He was KO’d and sent to the hospital.
When he got home, he became paranoid and had to sit in darkness (due to brain damage). He killed his mom and himself weeks later while recovering. No note, no reason. His friend just said he wasn’t himself.
I believe he got brain damage from a fight and this lead to his actions
I just did a quick search and there are cases of antibiotics causing hallucinations (ear conditions can cause that too) and there’s even antibiotics linked with suicides, insomnia, anxiety, etc.
Your theory definitely sounds the most plausible.
If he died of a brain infection, where is his body? They never found him.
Why is mental illnesses not even a consideration? He could have unlocked paranoid schizophrenia. There might be some illicit drugs involved or alcohol abuse. Whatever it was first two theories are proposers. Even if you walk into a bad neighborhood chances are you'll get mugged and beaten not murdered never to be seen again.
lars mittank saying look what that behind you he run away
It looked like he had forgotten something and was jogging back to get it and ran into some trouble.
Just want to mention that human trafficking isn’t always for sexual purposes. A 28 yr old fit male would be a perfect target for labor slavery
Just subscribed👌🏻 You should make video about Finnish halloween murder that occured in the city of Raahe last Halloween. Raahe is one of Finland's most notorious cities, with high occurences in drug dealing, murders etc. You should check that out 👌🏻
Video actually starts at 2:14
You covered all the questions leading up to his disappearance, but then stopped short of discussing the biggest mystery of all - WHERE DID HE GO? And why wasn’t he found? I’ve never heard anyone discuss what is near the airport in the direction he ran off. Was there a nearby River? I assume it was an urban area. Could he have fallen into a sewer or drainage pipe near the airport? The real mystery here is how a man can disappear without a trace…not in the woods, but next to a busy urban airport.
This is a reupload right? Or did I dream of this and it became real ?
It is! He said there was an error in the upload from yesterday so he fixed and reuploaded it
@@constantinekampschafer1821 ah thanks!
Thank you for another outstanding video! Would you consider giving your views about the Otto Warmbier story?
He should have taken the airplane out of there while had the opportunity 😮
Curious as to why you didn't discuss anything about finding his body. Always enjoy your videos though this one is no different! Thanks for making these :)
what is there to discuss? body is gone.
They didn't find a body unfortunately, that's why it's called a disappearance and not a death. Absolutely tragic, not knowing for certain must be torture for his loved ones..
Criminal organizations need to get practice to see how people respond to different phases of their method, and it's always safer for them when there's no motive that can be associated with them.
Nobody knows what to do about that, so most people just dismiss the possibility... which makes it even more of a possibility.
U a criminal how would you know such a detailed comment. R you in it brooooo
@@danielnadakuitavuki8093 No, I've just been targeted by one or two such organizations and have had plenty of time to contemplate their opportunities.
@@jumpinjohnnyruss so your a genius
here😊
Makes sense but WHERE IS HIS BODY?
