Later, according to the information, he walked alone into a forest in the direction of Abtsroda, a district of the Poppenhausen community. Apparently, he had separated from his companion for initially unknown reasons, as a police spokesman said. Corresponding investigations would be continued. The young person from the Kitzingen area may not be able to orientate himself. Therefore, it is possible that he is in a situation that he cannot cope with on his own.
