The disappearance of Lars Mittank in 2014

The disappearance of Lars Mittank in 2014.



On June 30, 2014, 28-year-old German, Lars Mittank travelled with friends to Bulgaria on a holiday.

During this vacation, Lars and his friends spent their week partying and going to pubs… pretty typical holiday activities.

On July 6, Lars was involved in a bar fight with other German tourists, which left him with a number of jaw injuries, and a ruptured eardrum. He was prescribed an antibiotic Cefprozil (500mg), and doctors advised him not to fly because of his ear injury.

The group were meant to return to Germany on July 7, but insisted they stay with Lars in Bulgaria until it was safe for him to fly. However, Lars refused this, and reassured that he would be fine on his own.

The rest of the group flew back to Germany as planned. One of his friends later reported that when they left Lars, he was in a “good mood” and “relaxed.”

This is where things became sketchy and creepy.

Lars checked out of the hotel that he and his friends were staying in on July 7. He then checked into another hotel that was located closer to the airport.

CCTV footage in the hotel caught Lars behaving strangely. He was pacing up and down the foyer, hiding in the elevator, constantly checking his surroundings and appeared paranoid about something or someone.

At 1am on July 8, Lars left that hotel and called his mother. He had whispered to her that four men were following him and trying to kill or rob him. He also requested that she cancel all his bank accounts and credit cards, so that he couldn’t be tracked.

His mother booked him a plane ticket back to Germany for the morning of July 8. Lars then packed all his belongings and went the Varna Airport later that morning.

Security camera footage captured him entering the airport and consulting with the airport doctor regarding his ear injury.

45 minutes later, an unknown man dressed like a construction site worker entered the medical services. Lars suddenly became anxious, mumbled something and sprinted out of the airport, leaving all of his belongings behind.

The security camera caught Lars fleeing the airport in a panic. Outside, he was seen running to a nearby field where he jumped over the fence and disappeared into the forest without a trace.

Lars has never been heard from or seen since.

He has now been missing for over 6 years, and still no one knows where he is, what happened to him, or why he fled the airport in a state of panic.

This missing person case always comes to my mind when I think of eerie true crime. What makes it so bizarre is that we don’t know what caused Lars to drop all his things and vanish outside the airport. We don’t know if he was really being hunted down by four men, or why he became so paranoid in the last days of his Bulgaria trip.

All the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are just extremely sketchy, and we may never find out what happened to him.

Thanks for reading!

This is how long the average prisoner live once he arrived in Auschwitz before taking them to the gas chamber

Auschwitz was large but not the worst of the camps; it most probably was the most well known It was a labor camp. Prisoners were worked to death. Those arriving WERE sorted into those groups that could be used for work and those who were considered worthless: children, the old and sick. These were sent immediately to the gas chambers to be liquidated. So they were there maybe an hour before being killed. In 1941-1942 the extermination camps in Poland, Sorbibor, Chelmo, Treblinka, Belzec were used to empty the Polish Jewish ghettos. Understand that the word “concentration” meant where the Jews and undesirables were gathered or concentrated for subsequent elimination. There was a vast dislocation of people in the wake of the Nazi invasion of Poland and the Soviet Union. Millions of Jews were concentrated in sections, ghettos of cities and then were rounded up and ship to extermination camps. These camps were constructed away from major cities and from the time a train arrived with a load...

Horrifying Nazi Experiments Conducted On Humans

For those born after the Cold War era, it's hard to imagine a time when the entire world wasn't aware of the medical experiments conducted in World War II-era Germany. When looking back on the medical experiments of WWII, it may be easy to feel like we're  reading science fiction . However, the actions committed by military scientists in  WWII Germany  were very real. Decades later, researchers still debate whether or not there's a moral quandary in using the findings of  Third Reich scientists  in modern medicine. From seemingly innocuous experiments on eye pigmentation to procedures involving the creation of conjoined twins and the examination of internal organs, all of the worst experiments the Nazis conducted on people are on this list. Artificial Insemination Photo:  Alexander Voronzow/Mikhael Oschurkow Wikimedia Commons Public Domain Heinrich Himmler, a leading SS member, ordered Dr. Carl Clauberg  to artificially inseminate concen...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
