In a remarkable turn of events, Alex Batty, a British boy who disappeared under mysterious circumstances six years ago, has been found alive and well near Toulouse, France. Alex, originally from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was just 11 years old when he went missing while traveling with family members in southern Spain in October 2017.
He was with his mother, Melanie Batty, 38, and grandfather, David Batty, 59, who did not have parental guardianship at the time. The group was supposed to return from Marbella after a two-week trip but never came back, prompting a police inquiry.
