Solved Mysteries suggestion

I would like to suggest a story that was in every Brazilian TV news for quite a while sometime ago.

The disappearance of Bruno de Melo Silva Borges in 2017. Googling his name would get you hundreds of results, but here is one, a wiki page with info on his case, everything is in portuguese but chrome could auto translate for you:

https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menino_do_Acre

"Menino do Acre", literally translated to Boy from Acre state is just how media refered to him.

After disappearing when they checked his room, he had left messages on his walls, ceiling and floor, a bunch of diagrams, a full size Giordano Bruno statue and wrote 14 cryptographed books.

A picture of his room: https://ac24horas.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/25042018-dsc_0132.jpg

A few months later he would casually walk back to his parents house (captured on video the moment his dad sees him and almost falls to the ground)

What he had to say:

!He went on a self-search isolation, and his only regret was not telling his family!<

Looking back years later:

!People accused him of doing it as marketing to sell his books!<

Personal opinion:

!I don't think he did it for the profit, but I do think the people that enabled him were in for that motive, he is just a mad lad that loves the mysterious and takes it too far. You can see in the few times he accepted to be on camera that he genuinely believes he is helping people by inspiring them to "seek knowledge"!<
