Search for Missing Autistic Boy in Weilburg Enters Seventh Day

Authorities continue efforts to locate six-year-old Pawlos Guesh, with plans to reassess the search later this week as public tips remain crucial.

Six-year-old Pawlos Dawit Gerezgiher Guesh disappeared on March 25, 2025, after walking away from his special needs school in Weilburg, Germany.
The search, now in its seventh day, involves a reduced team of police officers who will continue operations until at least Friday, March 31, before reassessing the situation.
Pawlos, who is autistic and skittish, was last seen on video near a busy road, where a passerby escorted him off the street; police have interviewed the man but disclosed no further details.
Authorities have ruled out foul play, treating the case as a missing person investigation, and continue to urge the public to provide any new leads.
The Weilburg community has shown strong support, while police have adapted their search strategy to account for Pawlos' vulnerability, including avoiding direct interactions that might alarm him.
