Man Is Lost For 30 Years Until A Car Drops Him Home In The Same Clothes

They Became Desperate

The days passed by agonizingly and the family grew more anxious. Eventually, the authorities were called in and Vasile was reported missing.

Weeks went by and there was still no sign. Even the authorities were baffled as Vasile seemed to have vanished into thin air. Their initial hope now evaporating, the family began fearing the worst.

They Were Heart Broken

The weeks turned into months. Still, without even the faintest clue of what had become of Vasile, the family suspected that something terrible must have happened.

The tragedy was not knowing—he may have been kidnapped, lost, hurt, or worse. Unable to prove anything conclusively, they faced a heartbreaking decision.

Saying Goodbye

Unable to continue living with constant speculation, the Gorgos family began holding regular memorial services for him. The entire village joined them in remembering their husband and father.

Eventually, the months slowly turned into years. The family finally had to face a painful truth. Pressured by the authorities and for legal purposes, Vasile was tragically pronounced dead.

Moving On Was Hard

Life without Vasile was hard but his family was forced to move forward. Time had marched on relentlessly. The family changed and even grew, but they never forgot Vasile in their hearts.

Seemingly in the blink of an eye, thirty years passed until Vasile became nothing more than a tragic memory. Now, the family was faced with the tremendous challenge of getting over their grief for the missing, beloved late father. But it didn’t end there. Soon, their tragic story took a more eerie and unnerving tone.

Stepping Up

Vasile’s wife, Bianca, had a lot on her plate. Aside from being crushed by her grief, she had to manage her late husband’s cattle and properties.

In the blink of an eye, she found herself having to step up from her former housewife duties to become the sole breadwinner in the household. And that wasn’t all there was to it.

Twice A Parent

She still had to be there for her children and twice their needed parent. Her days and nights were filled with anguished thoughts about whether she would be able to raise them properly in the absence of their father.

Luckily enough, she could count on her brothers and Vasile’s who often visited the house and helped Bianca with anything she needed. However, this came with additional problems.

Gossip

Small villages such as Bianca’s are often a fertile breeding ground for slander and rumors. Most people live rather uneventful and monotonous lives, and the easiest way to make them a bit more exciting is following a story, real or imaginary, about someone they know.

For the weeks following her husband’s disappearance, Bianca was the object of everyone’s compassion. But that changed soon.

Vasile’s Brother

Some people in town became suspicious of Vasile’s brother’s recurrent visits to Bianca. One may think that they had no particular reasons to do so; after all, Bianca was in great need of any help anyone could bring her, and the man was her deceased husband’s brother.

It was only natural that Bianca’s brother-in-law volunteered to make Vasile’s loss a little lighter and less painful. Or at least, that’s what one would think.

An Affair?

However, some people in town didn’t feel that way. Some frowned upon Bianca’s closeness to Vasile’s brother; some even hinted that they may be having an affair.

A part of it perhaps had to do with the village’s conservative mindset; maybe they didn’t like that Bianca had stepped up to manage her late husband’s properties and would rather see her in the role of the reclusive, eternally grieving widow. But was that all there was to it?

Suspicious Visits

Bianca received Vasile’s brother’s visits more and more often, and the two of them seemed to be getting closer by the day. The man would play with his nephews and it seemed like he was becoming a second father to them.

People started thinking that Bianca was getting over her grief too quickly. However, the widow wasn’t concerned about those rumors: she thought that, with all she had on her plate, there were other things that merited her attention more. But that soon changed.
