An 18-year-old kitesurfer was reported missing after disappearing during a storm in the North Sea. More than two weeks later, he had still not been found, and the search for his body had ended, while his family continued to hope he might be alive.

Parents who had also experienced the disappearance of a child described why that hope remained. The father of a previously missing person, Yoran, said that full realization came only when the coffin was seen.
