Matthew Mullaney was only 21 when he left Massachusetts to study abroad in Italy. 
But just a few weeks after his arrival, on January 31st 2003, 
Matthew left an Irish pub and disappeared without a trace.
His disappearance triggered an international search across Europe, 
with several unconfirmed sightings reported until around 2006. 
After that, the trail went cold.
Many theories have emerged about what might have happened to Matthew, 
but as of today, he remains missing. 
His case continues to be one of the most mysterious disappearances 
involving Americans abroad.
