Overview

• Fabian left his home in Güstrow with permission on Friday and has not returned, with the search continuing into Saturday.
• More than 100 personnel are deployed with tracking and rescue dogs, drones with thermal imaging and a helicopter.
• Dogs followed a scent from the Güstrow central bus station to a bus stop near Zehna, where the father lives, before the trail was lost in a nearby forest.
• Investigators issued a public appeal with a photo and urged citizens not to mount independent searches that could disturb traces.
• Officers examined the father's property, planned checks at the child's school and after-school facility, and are exploring whether the boy may have taken a bus.
