hello everyone an thank you for your interest although i did not get everything written in norwegian. i do understand it a bit but write none. i will erase my first message now that i have had many useful tips + my norwegian family members will be in contact with the police. maybe they have more success in doing that... although most likely my dad is using a prepaid number which makes his virtually impossible to find out. i wanted the police to carry out a quiet search with as little fuzz as possible, just to make sure he was alive but did not get that help so i wrote here to get some additional tips. the sole purpose was to do something myself without having to resort to my Norwegian dear relatives help (again).
