The show followed his traces that fatal night and found substantial witnesses who spoke with “open cards”. His friends who were with him “showed” a certain woman who, as they say, knows a lot but does not come forward … She gave her own answers to “Tunnel”.
Special mention was made of the route that Laertis followed during the fateful night when he left his friend’s house in Nea Philadelphia. His friend claimed he left pedestrian and made a short cut from the bridge of the Podoniftis stream, as it would be the shortest way to reach his house. Aggeliki Nikolou insisted on the fact that Dekelias Avenue is close by. There would be a passing taxi he would take after someone had recently stolen his motorbike to go to his girlfriend’s house as people who know him said or somwhere else.
His girlfriend claimed in the show that Laertis, despite having spent several nights at her house in Kallithea, had no keys. His friends denied her by telling Tunnel that the missing person had told them that he had keys of her appartment.
Surveys of the first days focused on the stream, and other possible routes were not searched. The journalist appealed to taxi drivers if someone took him that night.
“He told me he had money and he was vanished …”
Laertis had already left to the garage of an engineer friend of his motorcycle for repair when he called him to tell him they stole his second motorbike, a smaller cylinder. The incident forced him to postpone their scheduled appointment for the morning of Tuesday, April 9th.
Around eleven and a half he appeared in his garage wearing a white hooded sweatshirt. He told his friend that he did not have a good mood and left. At midday he went with other clothes back to the workshop and begged him to go through the repair of the motorcycle and not wait until the next day.
“He told me that in the meantime he was paid, I do not know the amount, but he had money on him when he disappeared. In fact, he told me he had to call his girlfriend on the phone, but someone had stolen his cell phone and could not communicate with her. “said the engineer to ” Tunnel “.

Late in the evening his friend told him to stop and continue the repair the next day.
“We closed the garage together around eleven and we walked to Heraklion Avenue. At some point we parted and continued to walk. He was eager and wanted to finish repairing his motorcycle. If we suppose something happened and fell in front the wrong people the wrong time and they stabbed him, where did they take him? On the other hand if he took a taxi where did he go? To his girlfriend? What to say, my mind goes to evil… “, he emphasized.
The mother of the missing young man who watched the conversation asked him if he was wrong for the time because a girl saw Laertis earlier in the night at Agiou Meletiou. The engineer ruled out this possibility and was absolutely sure that around eleven they left the garage.
“He used to go to his girlfriend at nights …”
“Tunnel” was found with Laerti’s parents in the restaurant that used to work.
His colleagues spoke with the best of words about his consistency and friendliness. All of them tried to share details and his photo on social media in the hope of providing some information about his fate. They even checked material from security cameras nearby, but nowhere was recorded.
His colleagues knew that every summer he went to Mykonos to work. They gave courage to his parents and wished to come out of their anxiety soon.
“To lose a friend without any signs of life has not happened again,” said to “Tunnel” his close friend. He described him as a very social individual. Its disappearance was communicated to about thirty thousand users on the Internet and abroad, who showed interest in this case.
“His girl knows something, I’m sure … When he disappeared we went to find her. It seemed to us that she reacted very strangely instead of helping, she began to tell us, “What are you doing here? What do you want from me? “… his friend emphasized.
“She was afraid. What was she afraid of? I think Laertis changed when that woman came into his life. Every time I suggested to go out with our girls she always found an excuse. Her ex-companion was a man of delinquent behavior and we have heard that he had threatened her in the past. I had never heard Laertis talk for him. On the other hand, though, something may have happened he could not talk about it. I know that fifteen days before he was lost, he had quarreled with this girl and they did not communicate for a week … Did she have been with her ex-boyfriend these days? “, The friend of the missing person wondered.
Another friend of Laertis who spoke to Tunnel said that he often stayed with her in the one-year relationship.
“We went and we found her to tell us if she knew what had happened and she was terrified. She knew us, she had opened her house to us , she was afraid of us, why? What are we murderers? No investigations have been made if Laertis went there … My friend had said that her ex was not the best guy… There is a lot of darkness in this case … No trace was found … “he said .
Girlfriend: They exposing me in danger …
The girlfriend of the missing young man spoke to Tunnel for the last time she saw Laertis and gave her own responses to what his friends had said.
“Laerti’s sister said I hold the key to his disappearance. I understand the pain of the girl as well as all of us, but let’s figure out at what danger someone who does not know what has happened can get in. “emphasized.
She said they were found on Sunday before he disappeared at her house. From there Laertis called his mother from his cell and asked her to prepare something to eat all together. They went to his father’s house and then she left for her job. On Monday, 8 April, Laertis went to her house to pick up the jacket he had forgotten there. It was the last time she saw him.
” He came and hit the bell, picked up his black jacket because he was feeling cold and told me he would go to the garage. In the evening I sent a text to his mother to tell him to call me. On Tuesday, however, a friend informed me that he had lost his cell phone. I learned that Laertis disappeared when his parents called me to ask if he came to my place, “she told the Tunnel.
She stressed that she did not go to the places where the missing person was hanging out, nor did she associate with his friends as they did not fit her like a person, and she had made it clear to her partner. All this time she had not realized he had any differences with anyone.
In a related question by the reporter about the night in question that Laertis left his friend’s house on foot, he said it was not something he used to do because he did not like to walk.
“To tell you the truth I do not know what may have happened. If they robbed him for money and hit him, he would have been found. Unless he suffered amnesia, he fell without being found … I personally panicked because I do not know much about his past. That’s my problem … “, she concluded.
“Here in the stream you are afraid to walk during the night …”
The father of the missing person along with the reporter of the show was found on the bridge in the stream of Podoniftis, from where possible Laertis made a short cut when he left his friend’s house.
“If he eventually followed this route, then he would pass by here to return to the house In ten minutes. From here, only pedestrians and delivery boys with motorbikes are passing through “the father said to” Tunnel “.
Last time he saw him in the morning before disappearing at their house when Laertis went to change his jacket.
“The night he did not come back and we supposed it would be to his girlfriend. When he did not show up and the next day we started worrying and looking for him. Until then, we did not know he did not have a phone. We later found out from the police that the last signal was emitted from Kallithea area two days before his disappearance.”he said.
He pointed out that they have searched in the stream and the surrounding area at least ten times without result.
“We even searched the abandoned houses, I personally raised boards and sheets. We did not find anything. The police did not search here at all. Neither witnesses were found. Even if someone hurt him, it would not be easy to carry him to hide him somewhere. Beyond that, our mind goes to all the possibilities … “, emphasized the father of the missing person.
Resident spoke to Tunnel’s camera about the area.
“The point is deserted, the lights are off, many greens have risen and it is dangerous for someone to fall into the river … At night you are afraid to come here… I saw with my eyes a lady from which someone grab her phone while she was talking … “, she said.
“I’ll go everywhere to find my child …”
The mysterious disappearance of Laertis has plunged his family into anxiety.
A tragic figure, his mother, described to “Tunnel” the Calgary they are climbing every day, hoping to learn something about his fate.
Last time she saw him on the morning of Tuesday 9 April when she left home to go to work. In the afternoon that she did not find him there, she did not particularly worry. She assumed that she would be in the garage where he was repairing his motorcycle or he was with his girlfriend with whom he had been together for the last year.
“Someone had stolen his motorcycle and for that reason he stopped working as a delivery boy. He had to repair the second he had, to work again. Neither had a phone with him and all his personal documents were found at the house. With him he had only the money he had paid. I do not know exactly how much it was, about three hundred euros … “, she said to” Tunnel “.
As she said, Laertis might have been a character closed to himself, but no one in the family had ever realized he had troubles.
“As a mother I think my child is alive and he will come back… For so many days I do not know how I stand on my feet…” she said with a knot on her throat …
Laertis has a height of 1.75 m. and when he got lost he was wearing a black jacket, sports black shoes with an orange mark and a gray suit.
