Alexander Michael Kruck, known as Alex, has been missing since early August 2020. He was 33 at the time and a lifelong Milwaukee resident who kept steady contact with family and friends. His disappearance is described as out of character: he hadn’t been known to travel and typically stayed on Milwaukee’s north and south sides.

The last confirmed sighting was at Palmeros Manufacturing Warehouse, 3301 W Canal Street, after arriving on a shuttle from 2217 S 1st Street. On August 6, 2020, a call was placed from his phone to his grandmother, who has Alzheimer’s and could not confirm whether Alex was on the line. Letters dated August 7, 2020, were found near 40th Street and North Avenue, but it is unclear if he wrote them. A financial check and a card with an unused balance arrived in the mail after he went missing, indicating his accounts had not been accessed.

No credible leads or sightings have been reported and the Milwaukee Police Department is investigating. If anyone has information about Alex Kruck’s disappearance, please contact the Milwaukee Police Department at 935-7405.
