They Left Everything Behind Except an Explanation

This episode of the Y files is brought. to you by Delete Me. Gather around. This happened on February. 9th, 2004 in New Hampshire. On the side of a mountain road, Maura. Murray's Saturn sedan sticks out of a. snowbank. Someone stops to help, but she. refuses. A neighbor reported the. accident to the police. She didn't see a. young woman. She said a man was in the.

car smoking a cigarette. When the police arrive, the car is. there, but Maura's backpack, phone, keys, and bank cards are gone. 22 years. later, we still don't know who is in. that car smoking, and we still don't. know what happened to Maura Murray. >> I'm your king. >> WHO WOULD VOTE FOR YOU? >> YOU DON'T vote for kings.

>> Hey, human. I'm just going to say I. quit. You can take that job and shove it. right up your. >> Hey, hey, hey, take it easy. This is a. family show. Besides, you can't quit. You have a. contract. >> Not anymore. Space Panda will now be. taking my place. I talked to him. earlier. So, you can tell everyone at. the studio to shove it. Uh tell the guy. who edits the show to shove it. Tell the. other guy who edits the show to shove. it, too. I don't know his name, but he. can shove it. >> Where is this coming from? >> I'm rich, human. Filthy, disgustingly. rich. [music]. I'm ancient and royal tea.

>> You're a goldfish. >> A royal goldfish. I got an email this. morning from a prince. Very polite. Explained grammar for a stranger, saying. a distant relative of mine, King Coral. Hoarder the Third, passed away [music]. and left me an inheritance of. $11 million. >> Oh, no. >> And I know what you're going to say. How. did they even know you're related? Simple. They already knew everything. My. full name, my home address, even my mug. shot. The good one from the boating. incident. >> This sounds like a scam. Wait, what.

boating incident? >> Never mind that. Focus. It was all right. there in the email. I didn't even have. to say a word. >> They already had your address? >> That's how I knew it was legit. What. scammer does that much research? A guy. who knows your old address and your king. relative? That's due diligence, human. >> That's a data broker selling your. information to anyone who'll buy it and. a scammer using that information to make. the email look real. >> They found me because I'm royalty, lol. >> They found you because your. information's out there for anyone to.

buy. >> Uh so, what happens to my 11 million. dollars and the uh the $500 transfer. fee, uh which I already paid with with. Applebee's gift cards? >> Yeah, you need DeleteMe. >> Oh, did I just get scammed and sponsored. in the same phone call? >> You sure did.

Also, quick question, Purely. hypothetical of course. If a guy who told the whole studio to. shove it a followed up with a a very. personal apology video. Is there is.

there any way to unsend that before. anyone opens the email? >> How personal was this video? >> Well, let's just say fewer clothes, more. scales, one interpretive dance, and a. moment where I I really let the fans do. the talking. >> Maura Murray was a nursing student at. UMass Amherst and before that a cadet at. West Point. She made the Dean's List, ran on the track team, and spent her. free time hiking. Everyone who knew her.

described her the same way. She was. smart, responsible, and driven. But. something was wrong. In early February, her supervisor found. her sobbing at her desk at her campus. security job. When asked what was wrong, all she said was two words, "My sister.". That weekend, her father drove up from. Connecticut to help her shop for a new. car. On Saturday night, she borrowed his. Toyota to get to a party. On the way. home, she ran into a guardrail and. totaled it. The accident report didn't mention.

drinking. She was never charged, and. insurance covered the wreck. Just a bad. week getting worse. Her friends noticed. a change in her, too. Months earlier, she got caught using another student's. credit card number to order food. She. paid the money back, but the stress. piled up anyway. School, money, a. long-distance boyfriend stationed a half. a country away. On Monday, February 9th, whatever was bothering Maura came to a. head. At 1:00 in the afternoon, she. emailed her professors and her work. supervisor. They all got a version of.

the same message. There was a death in. the family, and she needed to go home. for about a week. Only there was no death in the family. Her father was alive in Connecticut. Her. mother was alive in Massachusetts. Her. siblings were fine, too. But it was a. lie nobody questioned, and it bought. Maura Murray a week of invisibility. Then she started packing. Not a bag for the week, everything she. owned went into boxes. Her whole life. stacked and sealed in the middle of her. dorm room.

And then she left the boxes behind. At. 3:15, she walked across campus to an ATM. and took out $280, nearly everything her. account. At 3:40, she stopped at a. liquor store one town over and bought a. bottle of vodka, some Dailys and Kahlua, and a box of Franzia wine, enough booze. for a party. But the store video showed. her shopping alone. Then she headed. north. Her computer history showed directions. to Burlington, Vermont and to a resort. in the Berkshires. She also searched for.

places to stay along the way. At 4:37. p.m., she checked her voicemail, the. last activity ever logged on her phone. Maura was leaving and only she knew. where. And wherever it was, she'd never made it. Route 112 in the White Mountains of New. Hampshire isn't the kind of place you. want to break down, especially in the. dead of a New England winter. All that's. out there are farmhouses, and they're a.

miles apart, and it's dark. There are no. streetlights. Your headlights are the. only light. Just before 7:30 p.m., Maura's Saturn came around a sharp. curve, spun across the road, and slammed. into a snowbank facing the wrong way. Accidents like this happen up here all. winter. You swear, you check for damage, you put it in reverse, and you hope. But. Maura wasn't going anywhere. The hood. was crumpled, and steam hissed from her.

crushed radiator. A woman in the nearest farmhouse heard. the crash and saw a car sitting crooked. in the snow. At 7:27, she called 911. She told the dispatcher she could see. someone inside the car, a man smoking a. cigarette. Minutes later, a school bus pulled up. beside the wreck. Maura was still in the. car. The bus driver, Butch Atwood, didn't see any blood. The girl looked. cold and shaken. He asked if she was. okay and offered to call the police. She.

begged him not to. She already called. AAA, she told him, and a tow truck was. on the way, she told him. Butch knew that was impossible. He lived. 100 yards down this road. There was no. cell service out here. She couldn't have. called anyone. So, he offered to let her. wait at his house, somewhere warm, until. help came. Again, she refused. Butch. drove home, parked his bus, and called. 911 anyway. His call went out at 7:42. [music]. At 7:46, a police officer reached the. Saturn.

The doors were locked and red stains. covered the inside of the car. Not. blood, wine. There were textbooks and. clothes, the liquor she bought that. afternoon, the paperwork from her. father's wrecked Toyota. Her gloves were. still on the seat. And tucked between. the seats, a book, Not Without Peril, 150 Years of Misadventure on the. Presidential Range. Stories about people. who died in the mountains, the same. mountains she was driving through. But no Maura Murray.

From the first 911 call to the officer. standing next to her empty car, 19 minutes passed. In those 19 minutes, on a dark road with an earshot of two. houses, Maura Murray vanished. The officer walked around the scene. The. whole area was covered in 2 feet of. snow, but there wasn't a single. footprint. Police dogs tracked her scent. 100 yards east and stopped. [music] The. scent ended in the middle of the road, like she was lifted off the ground. But. the state police had seen this kind of. thing before. [music]. Maura left that road in someone else's.

car. That's night, the police treated it like. an abandoned vehicle. They figured Maura. got stranded and caught a ride into. town. That explanation wasn't good. enough for Maura's family. By the. morning of February 11th, New Hampshire. Fish and Game officers pushed into the. woods around the wreck. They found. nothing. It was February in the White Mountains, where winter nights can fall below zero.

Every searcher out there understood they. were working against the clock. The. search grew. Helicopters swept the. mountains with thermal cameras. Dog. teams worked the roadsides and the. riverbanks. Volunteers walked the. properties near the crash, and her. family hired private investigators and. professional search teams of their own. There was no sign of her. No evidence. that Maura Murray ever existed past that. curve [music] on Route 112. The FBI opened a file. Investigators. interviewed her family, her friends, her.

professors and co-workers. They built a. timeline of her last day down to the. minute. Then they searched her digital. footprint. Still nothing. No ATM. withdrawals, no credit card charges, no. cell phone pings. >> [music]. >> She never reached out to a single person. she knew, not ever. Two days after the. crash, Maura's boyfriend Bill flew in. from Oklahoma to join the search. And while he was traveling, he missed. the call on his cell phone. The. voicemail was just a woman whimpering. and sobbing. She didn't say a word.

Investigators traced the call to a Red. Cross calling card, but that was it. The. card couldn't be traced to a person. Now, Bill believed it was Maura, but. nobody [music] could prove it. Leads. came in from everywhere. Torn women's. underwear turned up near the search. area, but DNA [music] proved it wasn't. Maura's. Human bones were found nearby. Also not Maura. Five weeks after she. vanished, another young woman. disappeared in Vermont, Brianna. Maitland. Investigators looked for a. connection between the two cases, but. never found one.

Over the years, they dredged the pond, dug up the basement of a house near the. crash site, and searched properties two. towns over. Nothing. And the mysteries. kept stacking up. Nobody ever identified. the man the neighbor saw sitting in. Maura's car. Nobody could ever prove who. left that sobbing voicemail. And nobody, not her family and not the FBI, ever. learned where Maura Murray was going. that night. Her father asked to see the. case file and the state said no. >> Fred Murray has been frustrated since. the day his daughter disappeared with.

the response from police. And. ultimately, he wanted access to the. records. And so, he went to court to try. and obtain all the records in this case. [music] And this is a battle that went. all the way to the state's highest court. in New Hampshire. >> He sued for it and lost. It's been 22. years and the family has never seen the. full file. The case is still open and. New Hampshire still classifies the. disappearance as suspicious. Her name is. on file with the state cold case unit, the FBI and NamUs. Every few years a new.

tip comes in, a new search gets. announced, and her family drives back up. to those mountains to search all over. again. Route 112 is still two lanes. Cell service is still spotty. And Butch. Atwood, the last person to speak with. Maura Murray, blamed himself until he. died. He said, "I just wish I could have. gotten her to come with me.".

Gather around. This happened. There's a. video that's been reposted on the. internet for the past 12 years. It has. millions of views and the mystery is. still unsolved. It's security footage of a man at Varna. Airport in Bulgaria. He wears a yellow. shirt and carries a backpack and duffel. bag. He looks like any other tourist. walking through the terminal.

Then he starts to run. He sprints through the terminal, bursts. out the doors, and keeps running until. the cameras lose him. He climbs a fence, drops into a field of sunflowers, and. disappears. He leaves everything behind. His wallet, [music] his phone, his passport. Lars. Mittank made his run on July 8th, 2014, and nobody seen him [music] since.

>> [music]. >> People who knew Lars Mittank said he was. a nice guy with a nice life. He grew up. in northern Germany and worked at a. power plant. He had friends, family, a. girlfriend, people he was close to. After his father had a stroke, Lars went. by his parents' house most days after. work to help out. In 2014, he was 28 years old and had. never been out of Germany. That summer, he and five friends flew to Bulgaria for. his first trip abroad. They stayed at a. beach resort at Golden Sands, right on. the Black Sea. The kind of place where.

the bars stay open until the sun comes. up. They spent a week hanging out on the. beach during the day and hitting the. clubs at night. His friends said Lars. was relaxed and having a good time. They. all were. One friend did notice that Lars wasn't. eating much, just light meals here and. there. But it was hot and they were. partying, and it didn't seem strange. enough to change any plans. One of their last nights in Golden. Sands, the group went to a bar to watch. a World Cup game, Costa Rica against. Netherlands. Lars wore his Werder Bremen. shirt, and there were Bayern Munich fans.

in the crowd. During the match, Lars and. the other Germans got into an argument. People were drinking, tensions were. high, and Lars and his friends left. before it could get worse. On the way back to the hotel, his. friends stopped to grab food. Lars. wasn't interested. He told them he'd. meet them at the hotel and walked off. alone. They didn't see him again until. the next morning. [music]. When Lars finally showed up, he had a. ruptured eardrum. He said four men. jumped him while he was walking alone, and he thought the Bayern fans from the.

bar hired them to do it. His friends. told him to see a doctor. The doctor. looked at the ear and didn't like what. he saw. The pressure change on a flight. could make the damage worse, so Lars. couldn't fly home yet. He got a. prescription for an antibiotic, Cefrazil, and was on his way. His. friends offered to stay behind with him. Lars said he was fine. It was one extra. night, and they all had flights booked. The next morning his friends went home. and left Lars alone in Bulgaria. He. checked into a cheap hotel near the. airport. It wasn't the best part of. Varna, but it was just one night. Late.

that night he called his mother, Sandra. He was whispering. He told her the hotel. was strange and that he didn't feel. safe, and that the front desk had his. credit card information. He needed her. to cancel his card. Then he told her men were following him, four of them. He said they were trying. to rob him, maybe kill him. Sandra said she can hear her son's heart. pounding through the [music] phone. They. talked again and again that night, and. on one call he told her he was hiding. After the last call, he texted his. mother one more question. He wanted to.

know what Cefrazil was. Back in Germany, Sandra was afraid to. call back. If Lars was hiding, she. didn't want his phone to ring and give. him away. She booked him a flight home. for the next day. In the morning, Lars. called one more time to tell her the men. were getting closer. Then he texted to. her that he made it to the airport. Sandra bought him a bus ticket in case. he still couldn't fly and wired him 500. euros to cover whatever he needed. He. would never pick up that money. He would. never get on that bus, and he would. never take that flight.

Lars walked into the terminal a little. after sunrise. He was carrying his. backpack and his duffel [music] bag. His. mother gave him one piece of advice. See. the airport doctor before the flight to. make sure it was safe to fly. So, Lars. found the airport medical office. The. doctor on duty examined his ear and told. Lars it wasn't serious and cleared him. to fly.

But Lars didn't want to leave the. doctor's office. The doctor said Lars. was nervous, erratic. [music] He kept. asking about his medication, the. Ciproxin. He said he didn't trust it. The doctor told him it was just an. antibiotic, nothing to worry about. Lars was just a few hours away from. home. All he had to do was walk to his. gate and get on the plane. Then a construction worker stepped into. the doctor's office. The airport was. under renovation, so workers were coming. and going all the time. Nobody reacted, except Lars. He started to tremble. Then.

he told the doctor, "I don't want to die here. I have to get. out of here.". And he jumped and ran. The cameras. caught all of it. Lars tore through the. terminal, past the check-in counters, past travelers wheeling their luggage. toward the gates, and straight out the. front doors. Outside he slowed to a jog, but he didn't stop. He kept moving, putting distance between himself and. whatever he was running from. From the calm walk into the terminal to. the dead sprint out of it, about half an. hour. The footage gets grainier the. farther he goes, until Lars is just a.

small figure in a yellow shirt running. away from the terminal. At the end of. the airport property, there is a fence. over 6 ft high with barbed wire. The. cameras never saw him climb it, but two. witnesses did. Lars went up and over it. His passport, his phone, and his wallet. were still sitting in the doctor's. office. Across the fence was a field of. sunflowers, and in July they were taller. than a man. Beyond the field is a. highway, and past that, thick woods. where no camera ever caught him again. Lars went into that field with nothing,

and nothing is what the searchers found. >> [music]. >> Bulgarian police searched the field, the. roads leading away from Varna, and the. woods around the airport. They found. nothing. [music] No clothes, no. belongings, no body, no sign that Lars. had ever been there. His mother hired a private investigator.

who checked hospitals for patients with. no identification. Sandra went to Varna. herself and handed out flyers. Still. nothing. Germany's Federal Criminal. Police listed Lars as a missing person, and the news covered it. The broadcast. alone brought in 75 tips, but none of. them led to Lars. The airport footage. went online, which has been viewed. millions of times and re-uploaded again. and again. Lars has been called the most. famous missing person on YouTube. Lars never filled that prescription. He. never took a pill. That comes from the. doctor at the airport, the last person.

to ever speak to him. He said, "I can't. think of a single reason why he left my. office in such a panic." He said he's. still confused. Lars had no history of mental illness. There were no warning signs, not to his. family, not to his five friends who just. spent a week with him. And he wasn't a. man who ran from his life. He was the. son who came by after work because his. father had a stroke. He had a. girlfriend, a steady job, people. counting on him back home. Lars knew how. to hunt and fish, but he ran with no. food, no water, no supplies, not even an.

extra t-shirt. Then the sightings. started. >> [music]. >> About a year later, a truck driver. thought he saw Lars hitchhiking on a. road outside of Varna. In late 2016, police in Brazil found a. man walking along a highway with no ID, so confused he couldn't say who he was. His photo spread across social media, and thousands of people saw Lars Mittank. in his [music] face. He turned out to be. a Canadian man who'd been missing for 5. years. In 2019, a German trucker gave a ride to.

a hitchhiker with long hair and a beard, and later realized that the man [music]. looked like an older Lars, but none of. sightings were ever confirmed. Sandra runs a website called Find Lars. Mittank. She believes her son is alive, that he lost his memory, and that maybe. he's still out there somewhere, too. scared to ask anyone for help. Sandra. has watched the video, too. She says, "Every time I see it, I feel like I want. to protect him. I want to rescue him.". The cameras lost him at the edge of a.

sunflower field. Every July, flowers. grow tall enough to hide a man. That was. 12 Julys ago, and Lars Mittank never. came out. Gather around. [music] This happened on.

a Friday morning in September 2007. A 14-year-old boy walked into a railway. station in the north of England and. bought a one-way ticket to London. He. had 200 lb in his pocket and a portable. PlayStation in his bag. He did not bring. a phone. 2 hours later, his train pulled into. King's Cross, [music] and a security. camera caught him walking out of the. station and into a city of 8 million. people. Andrew Gosden was never seen again.

Andrew Gosden lived in Doncaster with. his parents and his older sister, Charlotte. He wore thick prescription. glasses and looked younger than 14. His. family called him Roo because, as his. dad put it, he was little and bouncy as. a kid. He loved heavy metal, Slipknot, Muse, Marilyn Manson. After school, he. disappeared into the basement to play. video games, and he was brilliant,

ranked in the top 5% of students in the. entire country. His teachers figured he. was headed for Cambridge. The night. before he disappeared, the family put a. jigsaw puzzle out on the living room. floor and watched TV. It was an ordinary. night in every possible way. The next morning, his dad had trouble. waking him, which never happened before. Andrew seemed irritable, and that wasn't. like him either. But a few minutes after 8:00, he walked. out the front door in his school uniform. and headed for the bus stop, the same. bus he took every morning. Andrew never.

missed a day of school, not once in his. life. But that day, he did not get on the bus. A family friend spotted him at 8:20, sitting alone on a bench in a park. nearby. He was waiting. Waiting for the. rest of his family to leave the house. Once they did, he walked back home and. let himself in. He took off his school. uniform and put it in the washing. machine, then hung his blazer on the. back of his chair. This is exactly what. he did every day after school. Anyone. glancing into his room would think. Andrew came home at the normal time on a.

normal day. Then he changed into a black Slipknot. t-shirt and black jeans. He grabbed a. bag covered in band patches and tossed. in his wallet, his keys, and his PSP, and nothing else. A neighbor's security. camera picked him up walking away from. the house toward the train station. At. 9:08, he stopped at a cash machine and. withdrew £200. He reached Doncaster. station at 9:22 and asked for a one-way. ticket to London. The clerk thought he. looked a little young to make a 2-hour. trip alone and offered him a return trip.

almost for free. Andrew said no. He boarded the train at 9:36, and a. passenger sitting across from him. remembered a quiet kid who played his. PSP the whole trip. At 11:20, the train. pulled into King's Cross. 5 minutes. later, CCTV caught Andrew walking out. the main entrance. Then he disappeared. into the city. His family wouldn't know for hours. That evening, the Gosdens sat down for. dinner. The blazer on the chair and the. uniform was in the washer, so they.

figured Andrew was home down in the. basement on his Xbox. They called him to. eat. No answer. He wasn't in the house. They started calling everyone who might. know where he was, neighbors, friends, his school. That's when they learned Andrew never. showed up for class. The school tried to. call that morning, but they dialed the. wrong number and left a voicemail. [music] with the wrong family. So, for. an entire day, nobody knew Andrew was. gone. His parents called the police. Their son was missing.

Even in 2007, London was covered in. cameras. More than one should have. caught Andrew leaving King's Cross and. moving into the city. But when transport police first went. through the station footage, they didn't. recognize him. Andrew was 5'4 and thin, just another little skinny kid in a. crowd of thousands. CCTV footage is. recorded over every month, so the tape.

of Andrew leaving King's Cross is the. last confirmed sighting of him. >> [music]. >> He walks out of frame and then he's. gone. And Andrew was almost impossible to. trace. [music] He didn't own a phone. He. went through a couple when he was. younger, but he kept losing them. When. his parents offered to replace his last. phone, he asked for an Xbox instead. He. had no email address and no social. media. He played video games, but never. online. He paid for everything in cash. and never touched his bank card. The. only computer in the house belonged to. his sister. Police searched that along.

with his school computers and found. nothing. No secret emails, no searches, no plan, nothing. A 14-year-old boy with no digital. footprint walked into the biggest city. in Britain carrying cash and. disappeared. And everything Andrew did that morning. is documented to the minute. The cash. machine at 9:08, the ticket window at. 9:22, the train at 9:36, the station. exit at 11:25. After 11:25, there's. nothing at all. Not a camera, not a. witness, not a single trace from anyone. that's ever been confirmed. Once the.

story hit the news, sightings came in. from all over the UK, and one of them. felt real. Someone at a Pizza Hut on. Oxford Street was sure they saw Andrew. there that same afternoon, and his. parents believed it. But it was never proven, and neither. were any of the others. It [music] was. just dead end after dead end. So, the. family did their own detective work. His. parents tracked down the clerk who sold. Andrew his ticket, and they found the. passenger who sat across from him on the. train. They traveled to London, bought. event magazines, and circled everything.

a kid like Andrew might attend, and. there was plenty. The 90s disappeared, 30 Seconds to Mars played London. A few. bands were in town that same week. For a. metal kid with 200 lb in his pocket, the. city was full of opportunity. His. parents handed out flyers everywhere a. boy like Andrew might go. King Tut was. at the British Museum, they went there. They went to concert venues. They went. to the steps of King Cross itself. They. plastered his face all over the city. Andrew planned this, but nothing about. it looked permanent. [music] He left 100. lb of birthday money sitting in his.

bedroom. He left his passport. He left. the charger for his PSP that he took. with him. He didn't even bring a coat. But days turned to weeks, >> [music]. >> and weeks turned to years. If Andrew. planned on coming home, something went. horribly wrong. [music]. With nothing new to go on, the same.

theories have circled for years. Maybe Andrew went to London for a. concert, and somewhere in that crowd. something happened to him. Maybe someone. was waiting for him at the other end, somebody he knew about. Maybe he wanted. to start over as someone new and. actually pulled it off. There are no. warning signs, nothing to explain any of. this. His father said that even if. Andrew was hiding something from his. parents, he would have told his sister. Charlotte and Andrew were best friends. who told each other everything, but he. never said a word. Then 14 years after Andrew disappeared,

police arrested two men on suspicion of. kidnapping and human trafficking, and. the arrests made national headlines. Police seized their computers and. phones, and the family waited for an. answer. And they waited for months, and. then a year. Then in September 2023, police let both men go. They had nothing. to do with it, and the Gosdens. apologized to them publicly. The case is still open, and police say. they follow up on every lead. The family. still runs a website, and they hand out. flyers showing a computer's guess. [music]. at what Andrew might look like now, a.

grown man of 33. But one detail about Andrew isn't a. guess. He has a double ridge on the. cartilage of his right ear. It's the. kind of thing nobody ever notices unless. they're looking for it. His parents. still put money into his bank account. Nobody's touched it since the morning he. emptied it, but they keep funding it. just in case. And then there's this. 11 years after Andrew vanished, and 3. years before those arrests, a man turned. up in an online chat room asking a. stranger for help. He said his partner.

just walked out, and he needed money for. rent. He called himself Andy Roo. The stranger asked how much he needed. Andy said 200 pounds, and he logged off. and never came back.
