Oslo (AFP) - A Dutch WikiLeaks associate who went missing under mysterious circumstances a year ago probably had a kayaking accident, Norwegian police said Friday, adding that his body had not yet been found.
Arjen Kamphuis, a cybersecurity expert then aged 47, had not been seen since he left his hotel in the northern Norwegian town of Bodo on August 20, 2018.
His disappearance had triggered a wave of conspiracy theories on social media, ranging from CIA and Russian involvement to a mission to carry out a secret project for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Then police discovered a kayak in the same area where a fisherman had found some of Kamphuis's personal belongings floating in the waters about 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Bodo.
"The police have concluded that Mr Kamphuis most likely suffered an accident in the evening of August 20, 2018, while kayaking in the Skjerstad Fjord a few kilometres north of the village of Rognan in Nordland County in northern Norway, and was subsequently lost at sea," the police said in a statement.
"His body has still not been recovered," they added.
WikiLeaks, which published secret US military documents and diplomatic cables in 2010, called Kamphuis's disappearance "strange". MORE AT LINK

Police believe that he fell asleep whilst kayaking across railroad tracks after nearly beating himself to death.

It takes a lot of stamina to go kayaking after shooting yourself in the head twice.

He left a note saying how stupid he felt for trying to kayak on the railroad.

Wonder if this guy was the deadman switch that wasn’t triggered when they took Assange out of the embassy because he was already a dead man.

Might be better to be dead than to be taken or held at a CIA black site for “questioning”.

Since they haven’t found a body, that is not out of the question.
