Other people say that, well, maybe not that, but it just wasn't widely known.

It was some German kid.

It wasn't all over the newspapers.

And so people, you know, they didn't necessarily even know what was going on if they saw this flyer, or maybe they didn't even run it on the evening news.

Yeah, and so, like, if it was three weeks, four weeks after the disappearance that, like, news started to really spread or maybe news never really spread, if you were a driver and you gave a kid a ride on the A2 highway outside of the airport, you might not have ever put two and two together.

Or if you saw some kid running through a field into the woods, you might not have ever heard of Lars Metonk either.

either so um there's it's possible there's people out there with information who just aren't aren't don't know to to cough it up although that's probably exceedingly unlikely these days because of the exposure that this story's gotten

Yeah, one interesting tidbit is that they did find that those 500 euros were untouched in his account.

And I don't think we mentioned, I think some people speculate the fact that it was 500 euros on the nose and that it was Western Union and he had never used it meant that he was being told by somebody to get 500 euros wired via this way.

But again, that's just internet speculation.

Yeah.

Well, I also saw that it was his mom's decision.

He just asked her to wire him some money.

She had decided that that was according to that documentarian.

Who knows?

We really need to get Sondra Matonk on here, dude.

One of the cool things that happened through this, through his mother investigating this, is various leads came in over the years like –

hey, there's this guy that speaks German.

He could be Lars.

She would go check it out.
