The Helsinki District Court has officially declared a schoolboy missing since June 21, 1989, as deceased. The 15-year-old student was on board the M/S Finlandia ferry when he disappeared during the journey between Stockholm and Helsinki. Despite various investigations, there have been no leads regarding his fate, and public interest in the case was minimal at the time, leaving scant information about the incident.

Only a single news article about the disappearance was discovered by Yle, which was published in Helsingin Sanomat shortly after the event occurred. This article reported that the boy was last seen aboard the ferry at around 5:30 AM, describing him as slender, about 170 cm tall, wearing jeans, a light blue t-shirt, black corduroy pants, grey Adidas sneakers, and white socks at the time of his disappearance. The scarce details concerning the disappearance reflect a tragic lack of public attention towards the case in the years following the incident.

Court documents regarding the declaration of death suggest that the boy likely fell overboard. This conclusion highlights the enduring mystery surrounding the boy's disappearance and underscores how incidents at sea can often fade from public memory, leaving behind unanswered questions for the families affected, as well as the implications of a lack of media spotlight in such cases.
