Well-known American troubadour missing in Copenhagen

Fellow musicians asking for help finding colleague

UPDATE – June 4, 2012 – 9:55 AM – Patrick's colleagues report that he has been found and is safe.

 

The Copenhagen troubadour community is asking for the public’s assistance in finding one of their colleagues. 

 

American-born singer and guitarist Patrick Thomas Hallanan, a regular on what is called “the Strecker circuit” in Copenhagen went missing sometime Tuesday morning from Lergravsparken in Amager. Hallanan’s belongings, including his passport, were found at the flat where he was staying in Copenhagen.

 

Friends said that there is evidence that Hallanan was despondent and possibly suicidal.

 

Hallanan’s fellow musicians have organized a Facebook campaign asking for any one that has seen or heard anything from Patrick since Tuesday or may have an idea of his whereabouts to contact the Copenhagen police at +4533141448 or kbh@politi.dk
