Divers Search Güstrow’s Inselsee After Multiple Dog Alerts in Hunt for Missing Boy Fabian

Investigators report no evidence of a crime.

Overview

  • Police deployed professional divers Tuesday morning to sweep a reed-lined section of the Inselsee, using a boat with sonar and teams of six divers to examine an area of roughly 500 meters where visibility underwater is limited.
  • Four cadaver dogs independently alerted at the same spot near the shore on Monday, and a drone flight at dusk over the area did not reveal any findings.
  • Fabian, 8, has been missing since Friday after leaving his mother’s home with permission, and police describe him as reliable and not known to run away; analysis of his mobile phone provided no leads.
  • Earlier scent trails near the Güstrow bus station and toward Zehna, where the father lives, tapered off, and searches have also covered the father’s property, woods, abandoned buildings, a landfill, and multiple bodies of water.
  • Authorities continue a large-scale search and public appeal for tips while asking residents not to conduct private searches; the boy’s mother released a video pleading for his return.
