Police in Norway say they have found a collapsible canoe which belongs to missing Dutch cyber security expert Arjen Kamphuis.
The
canoe was found a day after several other items owned by Kamphuis turned up on
the coast, east of Bodo where he was staying when he disappeared. He is known
to have bought a canoe to use in the Norwegian fjords.
Norwegian television
station TV2 also claims that a fisherman found Kamphuis’ identity papers close
to where the canoe was found. Police have declined to comment on the other
findings.
Kamphuis was last seen in Bodo on August 20 and should have returned
to the Netherlands on August 22. On September 6 a witness told police he had
spotted the missing man in Denmark.
Police also say that Kamphuis’ mobile
telephone had been turned on on August 30 in the vicinity of Vikeså, about 50k
from Stavanger in Norway. The device remained active for 20 minutes after which
a German sim card was put in it.
The hunt for Kamphuis, 47, has been conducted
by a police team known as Kripos, who specialise in organised crime and
disappearances, Norwegian police said in a press release. According to Dutch
media he is an expert in cyber security who advises governments, journalists
and human rights experts. He is also an associate of Wikileaks founder Julian
Assange.
