Notes

The 38-year-old Adrian LUKAS has been missing since September 25, 2017 from 6580 St. Anton am Arlberg/Tyrol. 178 cm tall, medium build, brown hair, blue eyes. In the 1990s, Adrian's parents moved from Poland to Görlitz, Germany where they successfully reestablished themselves. Adrian thus spent most of his life in Germany and had become by trade a medical podiatrist and masseur. He was working on training for his job and enjoyed traveling or chatting with his friends. He was close to his parents and was living with them at the time of his disappearance. Unfortunately, business was not very good so he took up an opportunity to travel to Austria as a plumber's assistant to carry out sub-contracting services for a construction company in Tyrol for a couple of weeks. The company was offering 22Euros per hour with room and board, so the opportunity was a financial boon for Adrian and he was excited about the opportunity to travel Austria which he had not seen before. He arrived in Sankt Anton the evening of September 20, 2017 accompanied by his boss, the plumber from Görlitz. They checked into a three-star hotel before heading to another hotel where they were supposed to be laying pipes as part of the construction the next morning. They enjoyed dinner and Adrian called his parents with positive reviews. He told them that the views were very beautiful and he was glad that his room was comfortable. He would call them or talk online over the next few days, each time with positive comments. There is some suggestion however that he did not always get along with his boss. His birthday came on September 21, and a Facebook post seemed like he had fund partying at a local pub. This is when it appears things started going wrong. He noted to his father that someone was being mean to him. Adrian made the comment in Polish because he didn't want others to understand what he was saying. The following morning, he felt ill and was suffering from stomach cramps. His boss would later say that he sent Adrian back to the hotel to try to rest; however, there is no sign that he ever arrived in his room. At 1:02pm (13:02) he texted his father, mother, a sister, and his best friend concerning messages. These included: "They will kill me", "I don't know if I will survive today", "If I'm murdered, I want to be buried next to Grandma and Grandpa", and "I don't know if I will survive today." They tried calling Adrian at 2:00pm (14:00) when they say the messages, but only reached his voicemail. There was no trace of Adrian after that.
