A family in Denmark appeals desperately, as a relative has gone missing in Thailand since March.
Tracking Down the Unseen - The Mysterious Disappearance of Jakob Jensen
Here's the lowdown on Jakob Jensen, a 41-year-old Danish bloke who's been AWOL in Thailand since March, sending shockwaves across Danish and Thai communities, as well as social media.
The PrologueJakob touched down in Thailand back in February and was bunking with a mate in Ranong province. By March 1st, his condition started to spin out of control, prompting his pal to take him to the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok with the intention of getting him home. But that's not what happened. Jakob vanished without a ticket or a trace.
The Last Rays of ContactThe following day, he dropped an email to his mum, sounding as calm as ever - the last contact his family had with him. His phone went cold on March 3rd.
The Enigma UnfoldsFast forward to March 19th, Jakob was spotted again, this time at the Palmy Hotel in Ranong. Witnesses described him as disheveled, confused and erratic, leading to a run-in with the tourist police who ended up putting him on a bus to Bangkok. He mentioned a friend there, but his family claims they know nothing about such a contact. On March 21st, he was seen getting off the bus in Prachuap Khiri Khan - the last confirmation of his whereabouts.
Days Turn into WeeksHis family contacted Danish authorities and the embassy in early May. On May 6th, international missing persons alert was issued. The Danish police are rumored to have requested access to his bank records, pending review. Thai immigration records only prove his presence in Ranong.
The Search Goes OnBoth local authorities in Ranong and Bangkok have the case on their radar, with assistance from the Danish embassy in Bangkok too. Media outlets on both sides of the globe and social media users have shown their support, hoping to bring light to Jakob's situation.
