WI WI - Alex Michael Kruck, 35, Milwaukee, 7/17/20 missing

[Keiri]

From Charley Project:
Kruck was last seen in the vicinity of 1900 West Finn Place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 17, 2020. He has never been heard from again. He didn't own a vehicle at the time of his disappearance and traveled on foot, by bus or by getting a ride from someone.

Kruck had recently moved Milwaukee from Chicago, Illinois, and was staying with friends and working as a welder. According to his friends, he had talked about a woman he met online and said he wanted to travel to Texas and subsequently to Mexico to meet her, something his friends tried to discourage him from doing.

He did not have enough money to get to Texas on his own and it's not clear whether he traveled there after his disappearance. His family stated that he kept in regular touch with them and they don't believe he would have voluntarily gone without contact for as long as this. His case remains unsolved.

Alex went missing from Milwaukee Wisconsin in August of 2020 ( dates changed as we found out info). He was struggling with addiction issues and staying with friends. He would contact his dad several times a day via text or phone calls asking for money or rides. Suddenly in early August that stopped. We did not know this as his dad did not disclose this info. We are divorced and I, his mom, live in Florida. Not a single friend nor family member has heard from him those was very social especially with friends. There is nothing on his social security..no jobs..rentals etc. We just want to find out where he is and if he's no longer alive I want to give my son a resting place.

Kat - first, I'm so sorry for your worry about your child. Hopefully someone here can help and several of us have dealt with family members with addition so we do understand. You very likely have checked the court records, but just in case, there was a warrant for his arrest issued on Oct 27, 2020 for Bail Jumping (a misdemeanor NOT a felony) under Statute 946.49(1)(a). The case is still open and shows a judicial transfer in July of this year. Case Number 2020CM001895. That charge was related to another charge (again, misdemeanor, NOT a felony) under statute 943.20(1)(a) Theft-Movable Property <=$2500. All his other cases were closed. There's nothing in the system to indicate he has been located or updated his address since that time (last address was the Finn place address). As there were several other charges of bail jumping in the past, perhaps he was worried that this time, the charges would be upgraded, but I can't see him not contacting his parents Another avenue to check, which again, you probably already have is looking at the person that had the restraining order against him.

Kat, it's nice to see you. I've been following your son's case since I first saw you posting about him. Milwaukee needs to be thoroughly searched, not just for Alex but for all the missing people. There needs to be a city wide search behind buildings, in alleyways, in the sewers, drag the river, and ask people to check out every floor of their property, including basements and attics, to see where people might be hiding out or unfortunately, where a body is. There are too many people missing and I really hope someone can persuade the pd to set up such a day.
