Australia Australia - Attila Bogar, 35, Wollongong, NSW, 9 Oct 2014

In Avondale Heights, Attila's silver Audi is parked in the driveway of his mother's home. Roza Bogar and Carly Heard, a close friend of Attila, brought the vehicle back to Melbourne after making their own inquiries in Wollongong.
It has been a very tough 12 months for Roza, who migrated to Australia from Hungary in 1971. Her husband Jimmy, whom she met in Australia in 1977, died last April. Jimmy was a meat worker who had migrated in 1957. After he became ill with liver problems Attila researched and monitored his father's diet and ensured he exercised. He had solar panels fitted to his parents' house to reduce their expenses. He organised a houseboat holiday for the family in Jimmy's last few months. At his firm Net Business, he used to pay a masseuse to give a weekly massage to staff. When one of them was going through hard times, he paid for a domestic cleaner. Generous, hard-working, meticulous, a devoted son. "Everybody loves Attila, that's for sure," says his mother. But where is he?
