A 17-year-old English boy, Alex Batty, who went missing in Spain in 2017, has been found in the town of Revel, France, six years after his disappearance. He is in good health, and is now awaiting the arrival of British authorities. His mother and grandfather, who took him on holiday and do not have parental guardianship, remain wanted in connection with his disappearance. Alex had been living in a spiritual community in Morocco, as his grandmother, his legal guardian, had previously suggested. He decided to leave the community and embark on his own path, eventually making his way to France. After walking through the Pyrenees foothills for days, he was spotted by a local delivery driver who picked him up. The area is known for attracting people in search of alternative lifestyles.
