The man’s mother, Susan Stone, told ABC News in August that the last time she saw her son was when he departed from Vienna to head to Ljubljana by train. She said her son texted a friend in Hong Kong through WhatsApp to tell them he arrived in Slovenia and wanted to hike at the Triglav National Park. She said her son planned on traveling throughout Europe, Greece and Croatia after visiting Slovenia.
