Hello legends, Jack here, host of Crime at Bedtime. I'm currently travelling to the US because my other show, One Minute Remaining, was lucky enough to be nominated for an award. I’ll be back very soon, but while I’m away, I’m diving into the vault to bring you some of my favourite and most terrifying Crime at Bedtime stories from the past three years.

We’re going to kick off with quite possibly one of the most bizarre missing persons cases you’ll come across. A young man by the name of Larz Mitankov arrived at an airport one day and was seen on CCTV entering the terminal before, moments later, running back out of the airport and vanishing.

At one stage, Larz became one of the most famous missing persons cases in the world as the story circulated across YouTube. Larz has never been found...

This is his story.

Lars Joachim Mittank is a German man who disappeared on 8 July 2014, near Varna Airport in Varna, Bulgaria. Mittank was vacationing at the Golden Sands resort, where he was supposedly involved in a fight, and was subsequently unable to fly home with his friends for health reasons.

Mittank was documented acting strangely while alone in Bulgaria. He called home to his mother claiming that people were trying to kill him. On the day when he was supposed to fly home, Mittank went to the Varna Airport to consult with a doctor.

He was later seen on airport security footage running out of the airport and towards an adjacent forest. He has never been seen since. The case has generated intense interest, and the frequency with which people viewed the footage of him fleeing the airport has led to him being named, the most famous missing person on YouTube.
