I had reached out to Itaka foundation about the potential match, and unfortunately it's not him. Turns out the missing date provided in Maciej's case is in fact the date of last contact, therefore it's not possible that the Doe found in Olsztyn is him. It still leaves me curious about who it might have been, since it just seems so unlikely nobody knew or recognized that young man. I might try looking around international missing person's databases as well, since once again it was an area very well known with tourists, especially ones from Germany and ex-Soviet states (notably the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast, located around 2.5 hours away from Olsztyn). If anyone has any potential tips or other ideas where to look further, such as those missing person's databases, please reach out. I'm specifically looking for missing persons databases from Germany, Russia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Czechia, and Slovakia. Anything could help, and I would love to see him get his name back. I'm even considering making an attempt at a composite/reconstruction based on that morgue photo, since it just seems impossible that no one would have recognized him or knew who he was.
