Arian, a 6-year-old autistic boy from Bremervörde, disappeared on April 22nd and triggered a week-long search involving up to 1,200 helpers. However, the search was halted after four days without success.
Despite the official search operation being stopped, many residents in the area have organized private search groups to look for Arian. Some are even using private search dogs to aid in the search efforts.
In Elm, where Arian disappeared, only two police officers remain to support the parents. They belong to the special “negotiation group” unit and are trained in communication to handle cases like this one. The “Arian” investigative group has taken over and is restarting the search efforts.
A family friend of Arian has been providing updates on the search through her Facebook page, urging people not to conduct their own searches and to respect the family’s wishes. The family hopes that Arian will find his way home or be found by a local resident who comes across him by chance.
It is important for everyone involved in this case to respect the family’s wishes and not conduct individual searches unless advised otherwise by the authorities or the family. The community remains hopeful for Arian’s safe return as they continue their efforts to find him.
