The case is rare and intriguing. Wednesday December 13 near Toulouse, a child who disappeared six years ago reappeared. The young Briton, now 17 years old, was able to tell investigators new information about his journey.
Alex Batty is now 17 years old and crystallizes many mysteries. This young Englishman who disappeared in 2017 has just resurfaced in Aude. Wednesday December 13, while walking along a national road, he attracted the attention of a delivery man. Alex Batty was 11 when he disappeared while on holiday in Spain with his mother and grandfather. His grandmother, who is also his legal guardian, accuses the two adults of having kidnapped him.
Alex Batty will soon be repatriated
Thursday, December 14, in front of the French gendarmes, Alex Batty spoke of a life of wandering for six years within a spiritual community. He would have lived in Morocco before joining France, where he moved from town to town in three departments.
But a few weeks ago, when his mother told him that they were going to Finland, Alex decided to run away. According to the public prosecutor, he is in good health and should be repatriated to England on Saturday December 16 or Sunday December 17, to find his grandmother who recognized him. The investigation is now in the hands of the British police.
