Family received a postcard from him from Florida in 09/1987. The last communication they have had with him was a postcard he sent postmarked 09/12/1987 from Knoxville, TN

Frustratingly little info here! For example, where in Florida was he? Did the postcard mention what he was doing there or with whom? Same thing for Knoxville.

Funny, I live not far from this town and have never heard any mention of the case.

Maybe I can try reaching out to the local paper? Their website has one of those "submit a story suggestion" links, so it's worth a shot. At least let people know about him.

It wouldn't hurt to try! There is so little info on his case so getting an interview with a family member might make the story clearer.

I found an article about his mother's death. Her name was Inge Rasmussen Fischer. Her husband's name was Hardy Fischer and they had two kids, Michael and Susanne. She died aged just 39 of cancer.

Mother died 12th August 1984 and he went missing 14th August same year, so sad all round.

Poor kid. Sounds like he just needed to get away after his mothers death, probably overcome with grief. Odd though that he disappeared from the actual funeral. Why didn't he go home with the family? If he left from the funeral then he'd be wearing, presumably, a black suit and have few personal possessions?

Does anyone find it strange that there's no contact for 3 years and then in 87 he sends 2 postcards I quick succession from Florida and Tennessee and then bam..nothing else? It looks vaguely like he was sort of headed East, but who knows to start looking!
