Vasile Gorgos was 63 years old when he left his home in eastern Romania to go on a short business trip.
As a cattle farmer and trader, Vasile often made such excursions and, this time, had bought his train ticket in advance.
The difference here was that on this fateful day in 1991, he didn’t return home.
Knowing that he was due to come back the same day, his family immediately called the police who launched a search effort.
But after days turned into weeks, then months, then years, with neither sight or sign of Vasile, his loved ones were forced to assume the worst.
With no leads or traces to follow, they suspected foul play, but endless questions were left unanswered.
But then, on 29 August, 2021, three decades after Vasile’s disappearance, his family was faced with the ultimate plot twist.
A car stopped in front of their home – the same one they’d had for the past 30 years – and out stepped an old man, looking confused.
That man was none other than 93-year-old Vasile, wearing the same clothes he left in all those years ago. His pocket even contained the same train ticket he was due to travel with.
The car allegedly raced off before anyone had a chance to question the driver, but when asked where he’d been, a baffled Vasile replied that he’d been “at home”, Medium reports.
He subsequently underwent a thorough medical examination but doctors concluded that he was in remarkably good health.
Prison?
Or institution…
Occam’s razor.
Is there an Occam’s razor when someone shows up in the clothes they were wearing 30 years ago?
Yeah, prison.
Err where did their old car come from if he left by train? And how did ‘they’ question him if he sped off? And who asked the questions? Was he just in excellent physical health? Did he have dementia? So many holes in this story!
I was confused by the wording too. I think it means to say some random car and unknown driver stopped at the same house they had for 30 years, dropped Vasile off, then sped away before they, the unknown driver of the random car, could be questioned.
