Tobias Strebel, the 35-year-old Justin Bieber superfan who spent $100,000 on plastic surgery in an attempt to look more like the pop star, has gone missing, the New York Daily News reports.

Strebel first rose to prominence when he appeared on an episode of Botched and revealed the amount of money he spent chasing Bieber's look. Strebel was last seen a week ago in West Hollywood, L.A., his friend Mel Espinoza told the local ABC affiliate."This is very unusual for him to be missing," Espinoza told ABC. "He hasn't done any, not shown up for no reason, no note or anything."

In addition to chasing Bieber's look, Strebel has also hoped to profit off of the notoriety he gained for undergoing so much plastic surgery. The Bieber-wannabe recorded a song with others that have gone under the knife aiming to looking like a celebrity.


Strebel may be driving a grey Toyota Camry. If you have any information about him, please contact the Los Angeles police department.
