For discussion of everything rum and uncanny, from cryptozoology (mysterious or out-of-place animals), UFOs, high strangeness, etc. Following in the footsteps of Charles Fort and all those inspired by him, like the field of anomalistics.
As this community is on Feddit.uk it takes a British approach to things but it needn't be restricted to the UK - if it's weird and unusual it probably has a home here.

Probably leading a double-life, he left 30 years ago to supposedly spend out the rest of his life with another partner and didn't care to tell anybody, just disappeared. Something happened in the other life, maybe his other partner died before him, so then he figured he'd go back to the original life to close things out. Decides just to show back up and pull a Costanza, like nothing ever happened.
The article also posits prison as an explanation, which would explain the clothes.
If he was in prison, he'd have been easy enough to find and there would have been a court case, a pretty major one if the sentence was 30 years.
Or he went in for something minor and just fight clubbed his way into 30 years.
I’m going with time travel as the likely explanation though
