Overview
- The boy was collected from his mother's apartment on Wartenberger Straße by an acquaintance who did not return him, an event that occurred Thursday and prompted a missing-person investigation.
- Police describe Alex as about 2–2.5 years old with short dark hair and last seen wearing a red T‑shirt with a large yellow star, black shorts with white stripes and a dark blue cap with a Spiderman head.
- The Landeskriminalamt Vermisstenstelle is handling tips and has given daytime and after-hours contact numbers plus an email address for leads; callers should use 110 for any immediate danger or urgent police action.
- Reports say the child may still be with the acquaintance but that detail is unconfirmed, and the police appeal to anyone with information or sightings to contact the LKA or any police station.
- Media outlets published the police alert to widen public awareness and the LKA-led search continues; officials and investigators are working to locate Alex and to establish the acquaintance's whereabouts and motive.
