On Saturday night, January 14th, Thomas N. celebrated with a friend in the Hüx disco in Lübeck's old town. According to the police, he left the location around 6 a.m. and probably walked in the direction of Kanalstrasse. At least that's what pictures from a surveillance camera that filmed the father suggest. Family and friends have been looking for him since then, desperately asking for information on social networks.

When leaving the disco, Thomas N. is said to have been quite drunk. His daughter to RTL: "He seemed totally disoriented, strangers also had to help him put his sweater on, very strange." In addition, you don't know exactly whether he went to Kanalstraße, you only saw on the camera that he crossed the street." He is said to have left his jacket and cell phone in the Hüx.

Most recently, the approximately 1.70 meter tall man with blond hair wore light blue jeans and a camouflage hooded sweater. On Monday and Tuesday, the police and fire brigade searched the Kanaltrave. As the "Lübecker Nachrichten" reports, the officials deployed divers and cadaver dogs. On Tuesday, around 3 p.m., the dogs attacked because of a possible lead. As a result, more fire brigade forces were requested and the hiking trail on Kanalstraße was closed. Nothing was found, but a police spokesman is quoted as saying: "We strongly suspect something there."

Shortly thereafter, the police took to the water again with the corpse-sniffing dogs. This time, too, the dogs struck and divers searched in the area of ​​the Hüxtertor bridge. But this search was ultimately unsuccessful.

On Tuesday, the search had to be stopped at nightfall. It should continue on Wednesday. "We are now investigating in all directions," said the police spokesman, "we can no longer rule out anything."
