Thank you. His luggage arrived in Germany. But the silence by the police, the airline, the airports, etc is deafening.
Wasn’t there a 24 hr rule on if people were officially thought to be missing?
If he’d arrived at Frankfurt, the border cops would expect you to pass through their point in terminal one or two. So, if there is an entry....they have a computer entry that he came into the country. No entry....no record.
I live in the Frankfurt area and have used the airport at least forty times. It would be impossible to avoid the border entry control folks. The airport for the most part....shuts down by 11PM and they clear out folks inside for clean-up.
I would note too....that you have to pass the border entry folks first, before you get to the baggage area.
