Accidental find ends three-year-old disappearance case Nico Ros (53) | Lievegem

Lievegem/OostkampAlmost three years after his disappearance, the body of Nico Ros (53) from Lievegem was found. It was a hiker who accidentally found him in a forest in Oostkamp. “The family was informed this week,” said Alain Remue of the Missing Persons Cell.

A sonar boat was used to search the Ghent-Bruges canal. An item was also devoted to the disappearance of Nico Ros (53) from Lievegem in the Faroek search program. The fifty-year-old left on April 5, 2019 with his bicycle from his home in the Krakeelhoek and has been missing since then.

His bicycle was found a day later on the bank of the Ghent-Bruges canal, about twenty kilometers from his home. The detectives did everything they could, but the bicycle turned out to be the very last track to the fifty-something.

Until last Wednesday. Then a hiker found the body of Nico Ros in a forest on the Leiemeersen in Moerbrugge, a sub-municipality of Oostkamp. “So he was discovered by accident,” says Alain Remue, head of the Missing Persons Cell. “And that’s not exactly exceptional. We suspected at the time that he would be in the water. But now he was found further away in nature.” The relatives of Nico Ros were informed after the discovery.
