Yeah, and this one can be frustrating to research, and this is our caveat, in that this situation, as you'll learn, happened in Bulgaria to a German man.

And that's part of the reason it's hard to get great information.

There are plenty of people on the Internet telling this story with different details, and it's just sort of one of those cases where we can't get our hands on Bulgarian case files from the cops.

Right.

Right.

And read it ourselves.

So we did find a Redditor who did something last year who claims that he got information from Lars' mother, who you're going to meet, Sandra.

She's not going to be on the show.

You're not going to really meet her, but meet through our words.

But, you know, who knows?

This is someone on Reddit and –

All his sources were in German, so I couldn't double-check those either.

Right, yeah.

No, I mean, that's a caveat that works for just about any true crime or disappearance case these days, just because there's so many people who, you know—

take a story and run it through their own grinder.

And, you know, like you said, little details, little facts get changed here and then somebody else picks up the same fact without double checking it.

And now all of a sudden it's all over the place and you can't tell if that's because it's real or because a bunch of people just repeated the same incorrect facts.

So we're going to definitely do our best.

But one of the things about this story is there are enough, you know, totally verified facts to it that, you know,

you don't really need to get completely lost in the details.
