Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP20103) and 5 other sources
Florin Ghita, a 21-year-old Romanian national, disappeared in August 2001 under mysterious circumstances. In 1998, Florin left Romania to continue his education in Luxembourg, where he lived with his father. In 2001, he applied for a tourist visa to visit the United States and arrived in New York on July 3, 2001. About a month later, Florin contacted his father from Orlando, Florida, claiming he had been robbed of his luggage and money. He provided the address of a Salvation Army shelter in Orlando to receive funds via Western Union.

Although Florin successfully picked up the money sent by his father, that was the last time his family heard from him. Despite extensive efforts by his family and authorities, including contacting Romanian and U.S. embassies, no further information about his whereabouts has emerged. The Orlando Police Department continues to investigate the case, but there have been no significant leads since his disappearance.

Florin was 5'8" tall, weighed around 170 pounds, and had blonde hair and blue eyes. His case remains unsolved, and authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward.
