Missing boy discovered during apartment search!
Today (December 20th), investigators from the Specialized Commissariat for Sexual Offenses searched the apartment of a 44-year-old suspect in Recklinghausen. The reason was a decision requested by the Bochum public prosecutor's office on suspicion of disseminating child pornography.
While searching the apartment, officers discovered a minor in the closet. A check revealed that this was a 15-year-old boy who had been missing for a long time. There is currently no evidence that the boy was held in the apartment against his will. For reasons of victim protection, no further details about the boy will be released.
In addition to the 44-year-old, another older man was found in the apartment. Both were temporarily arrested and taken into police custody.
The investigators confiscated various technical devices and data carriers found in the apartment. A data carrier sniffing dog was also used to locate evidence.
The investigations, in particular the immediate evaluation of the evidence, are ongoing. ( Source )
