Case Information

Background
Alexander Michael Kruck was born on January 15, 1987 in Illinois, but spent most of his childhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is the father of a daughter.
Kruck attended Waukesha South High School in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He was a talented athlete and played baseball as a right-handed pitcher with dreams of becoming a professional athlete.
However, Kruck soon began to fall in with the wrong crowd in high school and struggled with drug addiction. His family tried to place him in rehab, but that didn’t work out and Kruck continued to struggle with addiction.
After graduation, Kruck attended University of Wisconsin and Milwaukee Area Technical College where he studied CNC Programming. He worked as a welder after college.
At the time of his disappearance, Kruck was staying with friends at a residence in the 1900 block of West Finn Place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He often posted on social media and kept in regular touch with his family.
Disappearance
On July 17, 2020, Alexander Kruck was last seen in the area of 1900 West Finn Place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Investigation
Alexander Kruck suffered from mental health issues, and his family believes his mental health was declining at the time of his disappearance.
According to his friends, Kruck reportedly met a woman online before his disappearance and discussed traveling to Texas and then to Mexico to meet her. His friends tried to discourage him from doing so, and there’s no evidence he ever made it there.
Kruck also told friends that he was going to take a Greyhound bus to California, alluding to a promised opportunity to make decent money, but there is no proof he ever left Wisconsin.
Kruck did not have money, a passport, or transportation at the time of his disappearance. He didn’t own a vehicle and usually traveled on foot, by bus, or by getting rides from people.
One of Kruck’s family members say he was seen with a Hispanic woman in July 2020, but they do not know her name. She was reportedly driving a maroon Nissan Murano and/or a white Nissan sedan at the time.
Several of his friends also claim to have met her, saying she brought him lunch and drove him around sometimes. Her identity remains unknown.
