Super.
In July 2014, Lars Mittank, a 28-year-old from Germany went on a vacation with his five of friends to Varna, Bulgaria.
The week went by really fast," said Paul Rohmann, one of Mittank’s friends. However, the day before the group was scheduled to fly back home, Lars got in a fight with other German nationals at a bar. The fight stemmed from a disagreement over football.
Lars was absent for most of the evening but reappeared at his hotel the next morning, recounting to his friends that he had been assaulted by a group of four men, resulting in injuries to his jaw and a ruptured eardrum.
Afterwards, Lars visited a doctor who recommended against flying due to his injury. Additionally, the doctor prescribed an antibiotic for him.
Despite his friends' desire to stay with him, he insisted he could manage alone. He encouraged them to stick to the initial travel schedule and fly home on July 7, which they did.
Lars checked out of the hotel with his friends and then checked into a new hotel. But this is where things turn really strange.
The day following his friends' departure, Lars displayed odd and paranoid behavior. From his hotel, he contacted his mother, Sandra Mittank, speaking in hushed tones, expressing fears that individuals were attempting to harm or rob him. He also urged her to cancel his credit cards.
The CCTV in the hotel captured him pacing up and down the halls, looking out windows, and hiding in an elevator.
Around 1 am, he departed from the hotel and came back approximately an hour later. His whereabouts during this time remain unknown.
In the morning, he once again called his mother, telling her that the people pursuing him were getting closer.
Lars arrived at Varna Airport on July 8, 2014, the day he intended to board his flight back to Germany.
He sought advice from the airport doctor, Dr. Kosta Kostov, who later characterized his demeanor as "nervous and erratic." According to Kostov, he told Mittank that he was fine and could return home. Lars also expressed concerns about the medication he was taking.
Shortly after, a construction worker entered the office, causing Lars to exclaim, "I don't want to die here. I have to get out of here." He abruptly fled the office, abandoning his luggage containing his wallet, cell phone, and passport. These final moments of Lars Mittank can be observed in the CCTV footage provided below.
Upon exiting the airport, he can be observed in the footage jogging away from the airport, scaling a fence, and bolting into a meadow. Following this, he completely disappeared.
