➡️Americans and Canadians: do YOU recognize this man?⬅️

He collapsed on the streets of Amsterdam in 2023 with a brain injury. He wasn’t carrying ID and he lost most of his ability to communicate. His identity still hasn’t been established.

Interviews near where he was found have turned up that he was a native English speaker with an American or Canadian accent, enjoyed shopping for art, was passionate about Buddhism and cultures like Nepal, and gave different names to different people (Chris and Lucky being the best known). He was probably living a hippyish, off-grid lifestyle with substantial personal savings from earlier in life.

One of the few words he can still say is “nonsense,” so he probably said this quite a lot.

The Dutch Cold Case Team has taken over trying to identify him after time has not healed his ability to communicate. If you think you might know who he is, please help reunite him with his loved ones and give them closure. Scroll down on this page to the button that says “Tip via het formulier”, and rest assured sending messages in English is 100% fine. Also, his family won’t get a surprise bill for his hospital stay. https://www.politie.nl/nieuws/2026/augustus/17/een-heel-leven-maar-geen-naam-wie-herkent-deze-man.html
