Petrus Antonius Jacobus "Piet" Beentjes (born 19 March 1959) was a man who was last seen in Texel, the Netherlands.
Case
Piet took the last boat to Texel, an island in the north of the Netherlands, but had no ticket and left a strange impression when he disembarked just before arriving at the ferry dock.
On Texel, Piet entered the home of two men. They found Piet in one of their bathrobes. While there, Piet did his laundry, took a bath, warmed up a meal, and cooked an egg. After a short conversation, they gave him some clothes and sent him on his way. Both men claim they did not know Piet. It's worth noting that both men were gay, and Piet had been struggling with his own homosexuality. Because of this, Piet's brother believes that his visit to the men's home was not a coincidence. Despite this, the men have never been considered suspects by the police.
Police suspect Piet died by suicide, as he had just ended a relationship and experienced trouble at work. His family, however, is doubtful about this conclusion and criticizes the police's lack of interest and effort in finding Piet.
