Missing person - Australian citizen Travis Wooster - Munich
Update: dead body found in his van
I saw this in the Süddeutsche Zeitung today and want to pass it around. This guy has been missing since December 2005 and was supposed to have been heading from Dormagen to Munich. Maybe somebody here knows him or has information.

It doesn't say in the ad, but that's an English registration number for the van.
Yeah, might have helped.
He's not listed on the official Australian national missing persons list: http://www.missingpersons.gov.au/missing.htm (look under 'overseas'). In fact, can't find anything under Google. Can anyone find some more info?
Couldn't find any info on the NRW or Bayern police websites either.
Have looked into the AU Embassy websites for Frankfurt & Berlin and the AU Department of Foreign Affairs site, and can find nothing about this person. Even tried my google foo... Nothing, Me thinks this might be a Hoax but the Phone # is the real # for the AU konsulat in Frankfurt

Australisches Generalkonsulat - Austrade
Neue Mainzer Str. 52-58 (Main Tower, 28. Etage), 60311 Frankfurt
Tel. 069/90558-0, Fax 90558-119
Still funny though that the Frankfurt address is geared more towards trade to/from AU than normal AU konsulat affairs and is located in an office bldg, instead of a compound type place like all the other foreign konsulats in Frankfurt. Who wants to call the konsulat on Monday and find out

Tell the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Bet they don't care as long as the ad was paid for.
Well is Phish touring? If so this answers everything...a buddy of mine disappeared for two months in 1990(?)then finally appeared out of the blue. We were all so excited it was like"Dude where you been?" He responded" saw The Dead in Vegas"...that answered everything.
Phish has been split up for...uh, ahwile now. (ask a Vermonter, we know these things). Sad story.
I tend to notice UK registrations so I'll be keeping my eye out for the van around town.
Anyone think it woorth hanging up a blown up version of the ad in the usual watering holes?

Tut, tut... must try harder.I quote from the Shepparton News, dated January 6, 2006 - this is the local rag of Shepparton, VC, Australia (Source: McPherson News Archives)
Fear for missing carer is growing
Missing: Travis Wooster.
By Christie Peucker
Concern is mounting for the safety of Shepparton man Travis Wooster, who has been missing in Europe for more than a month.
The 30-year-old was last heard from on December 2 after catching a ferry from England to The Netherlands.
A personal carer, Mr Wooster has been living in the United Kingdom for the past two years and was scheduled to drive from The Netherlands to Munich Airport in Germany to meet a disabled client and take him skiing in Austria.
Mr Wooster never arrived at the airport.
His mother Faye told The News her son's van had been spotted on closed circuit television footage at a ferry port in The Netherlands and credit card statements show he bought petrol about 100 km from the port.
He also phoned a friend in England on the evening of December 2, when he said he was in Germany, but Mr Wooster has not been heard from since.
Mrs Wooster said she did not panic until her son failed to phone home for Christmas.She said his disappearance was completely out of character.
"There's no way he would leave a disabled person waiting," Mrs Wooster said.
"It's obvious that something has happened." Mrs Wooster said agencies including Australian Federal Police and the Australian ConsulateGeneral in Germany were working to locate her son, but the mystery of his disappearance was of the greatest concern.
"We don't know where to start," she said.
"There is no point us going over to a foreign country where we don't know the language.
"It's very frustrating that nothing seems to be happening."
Mrs Wooster said she would not give up her search until her son was found.

Fears mount for missing man
© Herald and Weekly Times
FAMILY fears are mounting for a Victorian man missing in Europe for the past five weeks.
Travis Wooster, 30, of Shepparton, has not been seen since December 2 after catching a ferry from England to the Netherlands.
His bank accounts and mobile telephone have not been used since.
Mr Wooster, who works as a personal carer, had been due to drive from the Netherlands to Germany to meet a disabled client, but did not show up.
His mother Faye said her son's failure to make the appointment was the strongest indication something terrible had happened.
Mrs Wooster said Travis was deeply committed to his job and would not willingly break such an engagement.
"That's the main point -- that he didn't pick up this fellow." she said.
Mrs Wooster said her son was not the most frequent caller to home but had promised to ring at Christmas. The fact he had not been in touch with a childhood mate now living in London was further cause for alarm, she said.
"We've got absolutely nothing. Something has happened to him. I have a gut feeling things aren't as they should be," Mrs Wooster said.
Australian Consulate officials in Germany are helping the family book advertisements in newspapers in the hope that will yield answers.

Matter of fact, I suggested the same thing to Scogs yesterday. I will contact the Ozzie pubs and ask them to post the printed ad.

Maybe we should open up this info to a wider audience by moving it from "Miscellaneous and random chat" into one of the sections that can also be viewed by guests?
Thanks YL6 and PES. As I said, I couldn't find anything in Google.. it's not a matter of 'trying harder'.
