Mushroom Foragers Find Doctor Who Disappeared Two Decades Ago

Something lost turning up after 20 years of being missing doesn’t happen too often, and it definitely doesn’t happen often when it’s a person that’s been missing. Somehow, though, this man turned up after mysteriously disappearing and being gone for two decades. If you’re curious how check out his amazing (and unexpected) story!

A man with the whole world ahead of him

The man in question was a Spanish doctor named Carlos. To anyone who happened to know him, it seemed like his life was going pretty much perfectly.

He graduated from school with a degree in psychology, was well-liked by pretty much everyone he interacted with, and was the smartest guy around. HIs future looked incredibly bright, and there didn’t seem to be anything to complain about. However, his story ended up being a bit more complicated than anyone would have predicted.

Perfect attendance

As you might expect for a successful man in the medical field, there was a lot of hard work involved. Late nights studying in school led to long days working as a doctor. He took it very seriously, and he seemed determined to make the most out of his career.

So, when he didn’t show up to work one day, it began to raise some eyebrows. This was someone with a virtually spotless attendance record! Interestingly, his family didn’t know about his location any more than his co-workers did. For such a focused, well-organized man, this was definitely alarming. Where could he possibly have gone off to, they all wondered?

Search party on the case

Plenty of people cared about the doctor, so it wasn’t surprising that they started searching for his whereabouts almost immediately. His family, friends and co-workers were all searching high and low for him. They were curious if he had left of his own accord, or if something sinister had gone down.

The search ended up producing some unexpected information: the doctor was medically depressed. Considering how successful and happy he seemed, this was shocking information. Plus, he was a psychologist, making it all the more strange. It seemed that his depression had prevented him from ever being fully satisfied with his life, no matter how picturesque it may have seemed.

A potential clue?

His depression was the first thing that they could find that offered any possible explanation to his disappearance. Had he decided to completely abandon his life and start anew, hoping that a fresh beginning would cure him?

Or, maybe he was simply fed up with his surroundings and needed to get away from it all to jumpstart his psyche. Whatever it was, they knew that he had been suffering alone, and perhaps he was now trying to find a solution on his own. One thing was certain, though: his family was truly saddened to know about his depression and that they hadn’t been able to help him through it. They definitely wanted to find and help him now.
