Help find Devon

Posted by DR on 27/11/09

Devon Hollahan went missing in Frankfurt, Germany, on Saturday November 21st. He and his friend attended a Portugal. The Man concert, and he hasn't been seen since that night. The band themselves have posted a letter on their website (Including pictures) from the boy's father:


My son, Devon Hollahan, disappeared in Frankfurt, Germany on Saturday, November 21st at approximately 3AM, local time. Devon and his friend, Josh Friedman, had taken a train from Prague, where they both live and work, on

Friday, the 20th to attend a Portugal The Man concert in Frankfurt and to stay for the remainder of the weekend. Both Josh and Devon had purchased round-trip

train tickets.


According to Josh, they had enjoyed the concert, attended the after party with the band and had taken a cab to central Frankfurt to look for their hostel. The taxi dropped them off at the Hotel Luxor. They walked from the Hotel Luxor toward the train station. They had been drinking, beer, mostly and, according to Josh (and verified by others), they were “tipsy”, but not inebriated. After looking for several minutes, Josh stepped away from Devon to ask a couple of bystanders for directions. When he turned around, Devon was nowhere to be seen. After attempting to text and phone Devon numerous times, Josh gave up and went to the hostel. The following morning, he checked with the hostel to see if Devon had checked in on his own and found out he had not. He also checked a couple of other nearby hostels to no avail. At some point Saturday, Josh contacted the Frankfurt police and the US Consulate to file a missing person report. He waited for Devon at the train station at the appointed departure time, but Devon never showed up.


Josh called me from Prague at around 3PM MST to give me the news.


We are currently working with the US Embassy in Frankfurt, the Frankfurt Police Department, The US State Department, The Division of Homeland Security and others. We discussed Devon’s credit card activity, which wasn’t (and still isn’t) unusual. He had made 2 stops at ATMs in addition to purchasing train tickets in Prague – nothing since. I received an email from Mr. Seitz at the US Embassy indicating they have checked ambulance services, hospitals and jails with no results.


The band members and management of Portugal The Man have been unbelievably responsive and helpful in our efforts to find Devon. To all of the fans, please help us find Devon as well.


I am obviously concerned for my son. Always an independent soul, he is also responsible and diligent. This type of behavior is totally out of character.


Devon Hollahan is 22 years old, 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 150 pounds. When last seen, Devon was wearing a green, plaid shirt, jeans, a black work jacket (sport coat?) and a tan cap. He was last seen in the vicinity of the Taunusalange metro station in central Frankfurt. Pictures are attached.

We're not a big website, but I assume we have some readers in Germany, and every little goes towards helping.
