Aeryn Gillern, an employee of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, vanished on Monday, October 29, 2007.

He was Mr. Gay Austria in 2006.

Very little is available on the disappearance but one blog says he was found in a canal.

That would mean an autopsy was performed and any drugs or alcohol would be featured in on-line stories.   There is nothing.

Another account says someone saw him jump into the Danube River, and later saw a body floating. But police and rescue divers did not find a body.

He left his passport, cell phone, clothing, and a medical report showing he was HIV negative in the sauna dressing room.

Aeryn's mother believes a previous encounter with police shaped their response to his disappearance. He had assisted capturing a purse snatcher but was involved in an altercation with police in that incident. (Edge, Boston article.)

It is not clear what his situation is.   If the reports of a body were mistaken he could be alive.    Although the manic episode from Subliminal Distraction spontaneously remits when exposure is stopped, the memories are permanent.   They are experienced as reality in the victim's mind, just as if they had actually happened.
