The man who was 93 years old now was also wearing the same clothes he had been wearing when he disappeared three decades ago.
Quite a few people go missing, leaving no trace behind for several reasons. However, few would turn up at their homes 30 years later with no memory of what happened in three decades and in the same clothes and condition they had left in. This is exactly what happened in the case of 63-year-old Vasile Gorgos, who mysteriously disappeared in 1991 from Rural Romania where he worked as a cattle seller as per the X account of Morbidful Knowledge @Morbidful.
One fine day, Gorgos told his family that he was going on a business trip. Going on a trip to various Romanian cities to sell cattle was quite a customary thing for the man. So when he told his family that he would be gone for a couple of days, nobody batted an eye. Little did they know that they won't see him till 2021. The family reported the incident to police but couldn't find anything about the man's whereabouts. They accepted that the man might have had an accident or something similar when he didn't return after a long time. However, they were in for a surprise when a car dropped 93-year-old Gorgos at their doorstep in August 2021.

The man was still wearing the clothes he was wearing on the fateful day 30 years ago and looked well taken care of. When he was asked where he was all these years, he simply said, "I was home," as per the outlet. The man looked confused and even had his train ticket bought 30 years ago for his business trip as per Sam Bracke on Medium. His family had been holding a memorial service for him as well. But then he turned up at the house confused, with perfect memory of his life 30 years ago but with no clue about what happened in between. As per Gone, But Never Forgotten, neighbors saw the man get out of the car but didn't feel there was anything suspicious happening so they didn't pay any heed to the driver of the car Vasile got down from or thought of checking its number plate.
The man was taken for questioning and health checks. He was in remarkable condition for someone his age and had some neurological issues that aren't uncommon for people in their 90s as per the outlet. The internet has come up with various theories about the man's disappearance. A few of them were shared by the source. Some people believe that the man decided to leave his life and family behind and settle down with a different person altogether. The theory believes that the man decided to come back because someone came to know about his past or because he wanted to spend time with his old family before he passed away and make amends.
But the problem is, that the man didn't give any explanation to anyone about his disappearance which would be essential for making any form of amends. The other theory is that he ran away with people but when he started experiencing neurological issues the people didn't want to look after him anymore and returned him to his family. There are also other theories like the man must have been in prison or aliens might have abducted him.
