I do not mean to be argumentative but I will just say that I very seriously doubt the name "Matthlas". I think it was a typo. Geogen (http://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/en/Default.aspx) offers free surname mapping of Austria and Germany, they show the popularity of the name at home and throughout the the world, there is not a single "Matthlas" listed. Nor is there anyone with that last name in the United States per (http://www.gens-us.net/). Nor does it show up anywhere in the world according to (http://www.publicprofiler.org/worldnames/).

ETA: Assuming that perhaps it is a second name or middle name I would expect it to show up elsewhere. So I simply entered the name "Matthlas" in the white pages of;

US (http://www.whitepages.com/) There were three listings, and one for a business related to the Dirk Matthlas cleared by police. Also, it is curious that DM and the others listed do not show up on peoplefinder.com when the name "Matthlas" is used, but are present when searching the same name with "Matthias".

Germany (http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/) 0 entries
Austria (http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/) - Automatically searches for "Matthias".
Switzerland (http://tel.local.ch/de/) 0 entries

I do not mean to be contrary. I just want to let you know where I am coming from. I would be glad to help with anything German language related as would my father I am sure. He was a translator for several decades so I think he would be the better choice.

I agree that there was a for sure typo on the name "Brigit" vs the updated "Birgit" but I'm honestly not sure about Matthias. I'm sure its not the facebook link mentioned above.

Just for comparison sake I've emailed my contact for clarification on the Brigit vs. Birgit and also on Matthlas vs Matthias. Will update asap.
 
Just found out that the long form of Dirk is: Diederik. It is a German, Dutch and English name. Lets expand searches to cover Holland and definatly search for "Diederik" instead of just "dirk" which could be a shortform.
 
Tom, do you know what type of work he did?

I also wonder why he had assumed someone else's identity. An illegal alien? A criminal? A spy?

If he came to the US as a legal immigrant, his fingerprints would be on file.

If he were born in the US or came to the US as a child, he would not have a thick accent.

Could he be the unidentified man? Could he have assumed someone else's identity after his disappearance?

This looks like a great possibility Kiva! The height/weight is a bit off but there as some definite visual similarities.

I agree on the typo Brigit vs Birgit - my name is Birgitte, and that is very difficult for English-speaking people to pronounce. Even my family in Florida calls me Brigitte :rolleyes:

I regards to what you wrote about Google.... Google uses "robots" to search the net for new sites and updates - and all sites will be found at one point. You can however program your site, so informations are not picked up by these "robots". Also - if the site is flash, you need to use Meta tags.

I don't see a match there. There would be no hiding those sunken aged cheeks.

You are probably right. The unknown has very full cheeks, a distinctive hairline (which does not match), and a nose which almost appears upturned. I was trying to stretch to think how the man in the photograph who, in my opinion looks no where close to 45-55 might have aged. That photo appears to be of a significantly younger man to me, I suspect that it is at least several years old. Likewise Schultz appears prematurely old for 42. The height discrepancies 5'9 to 6'2, are what sell it for me, although in the past even this sort of vital information has been known to be off after a match has been otherwise verified.
 
In Germany and Holland the name Dirk is also spelled "Durk" and "Diedrich" with an english translation being "Dereck"
 
What about Stefan Rombusch? I know the age is off, but as it is I can't reconcile the 45-55 range based on the photo of JDoe. Also, he is know to have traveled from Germany to the US and was last known to have been in California.

Another long shot, Stephanus Franciscus Maria van Leent, a Dutch citizen bears a striking resemblance although nothing else that we know of JDoe seems to fit.

Raphael Alabert
Missing since October 20, 1998 from Nice, France
Classification: Missing

Vital Statistics


  • [*]Age at Time of Disappearance: 25 years old
    [*]Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 182 cm
    [*]Distinguishing Characteristics: White male. Brown hair; blue/grey eyes.
    [*]Marks, Scars: Scar on back of neck, under hair.

Circumstances of Disappearance
Raphael Alabert was last seen on October 20, 1998. He had learnt he was not admitted to a specialization course that was very important to him. He disappeared on the same day, with his car, after withdrawing 6000 Francs.
After a year without any news from him, his car was discovered in Lecce, Italy. The car, a white Seat Ibiza bearing lic# 7803 VW 06, was found near the railway station. Inside were found his pullover, purse, drivers licence, a key ring, his house keys and his father's house keys, and his credit card.
There was also a ticket stub from a Nice armory, for a 22 calibre gun, bought in 1994.
The left door ignition seemed to have been broken, and the window was smashed.
Following a police investigation it was determined that Alabert was already in Italy on October 25, 1998, as his name was on a register of an inn located in Brindisi.
 
his nose is probably too long and not enough space between the bridge of the nose and his mout.
 
I think if this man had lost 50 lbs since he went missing on 10-26-2005 he could be a match. He was said to wear glasses and had a speech impediment. That could also account for the loose skin under the neck of the unidentified. I don't know if this name or DOB is accurate but you may want to check it out. Someone may want to post a side by side comparison.

I did a side-by-side -
picture.php


I think the nose is not right - Mr. Michalik has brown eyes and the UID has blue. The hair is also very different. And it is not mentioned that Michalik should be from another country.

I see some simularities, but I don't think it's the same man.
 
The ears are a No Match
The Jaw line is a no match
The mouth is a no match

I live in Australia and I have been searching and searching for anything from a ex wife named Karen or a daughter

If anyone has anything else they can tell me to search for I will happily help

I live in the same state
 
He has a really Baltic look to him. If I hadn't already heard Germany in connection with him, I'd be thinking Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Finnish.
