Missing Cyprus Teenager Found 12 Years Later in Europe
A teenager who went missing in Cyprus in 2013 has been located 12 years later in a European country. He is now 27 years old.
According to local media reports, the 15-year-old’s disappearance was reported to the Larnaca Police Station on October 19, 2013. The day before he went missing, a foreign national had left a juvenile detention facility where he had been staying. Since then, there had been no updates on his whereabouts.
On the day the report was made, the police released his details to the public in hopes of gathering information to help in the search. Despite these efforts, the teenager remained untraceable for over a decade.
As part of the ongoing investigation into his location, on February 23, 2025, authorities from another European country notified the police that the now 27-year-old man had been found there and is in good health. The specific country where he was discovered has not been disclosed.
