Lord of the Rings with a live orchestra – pure magic. Would you try this? 🤩

A 21-year-old Dutch medical student walked to a bathroom at dusk in an Ugandan national park. She never came back. What was found two days later has never been explained. Sophia Koetsier arrived in Uganda in August 2015 for an eight-week medical internship at a hospital in Kampala. After completing it, she and two Dutch friends hired a tour guide named Michael Kijjambu for a 17-day safari before flying home. Before she even reached Murchison Falls, things had already started to unravel. Sophia had previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and her behaviour became increasingly manic as the trip progressed. At Kidepo Valley National Park, other tourists and park officials warned Kijjambu to stop the trip and take her to a hospital. He ignored them and continued to Murchison Falls. On October 28, 2015, the group arrived at a student centre near the Nile. At sunset, Sophia picked up a plastic bottle she used for rubbish and told her companions she was walking to the latrines nearby. A ranger later said he saw her near them, gazing toward the river. That was the last confirmed sighting of her. Two days later, rangers found her clothes torn into strips and scattered near the Nile. Her underwear was hanging five metres up in a tree. Her purse and shoes were arranged neatly on the ground below. There was no blood anywhere. No drag marks. No animal tracks. When her underwear was later examined for DNA in the Netherlands, Sophia's DNA was found as expected. So was an unknown male DNA profile. Ugandan authorities declared she had likely drowned or been taken by a wild animal. Sophia's mother Marije has never accepted this. She has travelled to Uganda 28 times, recovered evidence missed by police, and located witnesses who were never questioned. In court in 2025 she testified: "I feel amputated without Sophia. We have not celebrated her birthday for nine years." A case against Kijjambu for operating as an unlicensed tour operator is still ongoing in a Kampala court as of 2025. Sophia has never been found. Nobody has been charged with anything relating to her disappearance.
