Can somebody go see if they can find this homeless guy and get me more pictures of him so we can figure out if it's Lars?

Like she does this kind of frequently.

There was one where a guy turned up in Brazil who looks a lot like Lars but disheveled with the beard and his hair kind of crazy.

Yeah.

And that turned out to be a different man who was missing from British Columbia named Anton Pilpa, who was reunited with his family after five years.

And they think that he hitchhiked and walked from British Columbia down to Brazil and then kind of lived around Rio, I think Rio, on his own for a while during a mental break.

Man.

So some of the theories over the years that have been formed, the one that seems most obvious to me is that along with the ear injury, there was some sort of a head injury, maybe a concussion left untreated that led to erratic behavior.

and paranoia maybe, and that once he had left and had no money and no phone and no passport, he sort of was just sort of perhaps lost his memory and lost in Bulgaria and still lost in Bulgaria.

Yeah, that's entirely possible, especially if it was a head injury that was getting worse and worse by the hour.

That could definitely explain the erratic behavior of leaving his stuff and running through the airport and jumping the fence into a sunflower field.

Because if you think about it, everything up to that point, you can explain by him being intimidated in a hotel he didn't feel comfortable in by some guys who aim to rob him.

And even if those guys didn't aim to rob him, just him thinking that they were going to rob him explains everything else up to that point.

The thing that makes it inexplicable as far as I'm concerned is him thinking.

Leaving the airport the way they did and potentially leaving everything behind.

That throws everything out the window and actually makes the idea of a traumatic brain injury a lot more possible in my mind.

The problem is if that's what happened to him, it's really possible that he's up there, you know, out in the woods somewhere still and just hasn't been found and is dead probably by now.

Yeah, or I suppose he could have just wandered into a town and assimilated.

Well, his mom apparently does believe that he's still out there, which is why she tries to shake down every lead she can, but thinks that he does have memory loss and that that's why he's still out there and has never contacted her.

Another theory is that –
