Italian Drummer Vanishes in Budapest as Interpol Coordinates Cross-Border Search

Hungarian police questioned his bandmates, reporting no internal disputes.

Overview

  • Davide Lucchelli, 24, disappeared in a parking lot at Mester utca 30–32 in Budapest shortly before a scheduled show, with the last sighting around 8:30 p.m. local time.
  • His band, Oggetto sconosciuto, canceled the concert, alerted local authorities, and posted a public appeal that noted he wore blue jeans and a black leather jacket.
  • Lucchelli’s father filed a missing-person report with the Carabinieri in Padova, and Interpol is now coordinating efforts with Hungarian investigators.
  • Detectives are weighing several possibilities, including a voluntary departure, kidnapping, or a dangerous encounter, while treating robbery as less likely.
  • The group’s tour is on hold, the family may travel to Hungary to follow the search, and friends in Padova have rallied with appeals for information.
