American teen missing in Germany as family fears he was 'lured' from cruise ship

Authorities are searching for a missing American teenager who disappeared while on a Caribbean Princess cruise docked in Germany.

Aydin Brown, 14, was last seen exiting a Caribbean Princess cruise ship shortly after it docked on July 4 at the port of Warnemünde, according to Rostock Police.

"My worst nightmare continues to unroll. Aydin remains missing. It appears once he left the ship in Warnemunde, Germany, he may have been lured away," Anne Yaktiyol, a cousin of Brown, wrote in a post on social media.

The Rostock police are now using a photo from a surveillance camera to search for the witness who, according to previous investigations, was out and about with the missing teen on Thursday morning prior to his disappearance.

Warnemünde, the city Brown was last seen in, is about two hours from Berlin.

"My cousin Anne took her grandson Aydin on a special European cruise! (Just the two of them) He got off the ship in Germany and went missing about 24 hours ago!," Amy Kopischke, another cousin of Brown wrote in a post.

It remains unclear whether Brown left the ship on his own or if he was accompanied by his grandmother. Rostock police said an investigation revealed that Brown and his grandmother reportedly got into an argument which led him to leave the ship.

Didn’t some raid just occur where 44, (44!) missing children were recovered in the state of NY. 44 kids we had no idea were missing, no news media coverage at all. Nothing. 44 kids missing. I can only hypothesize what color they might have been or from what socio-economic background (regardless of color). But one kid goes missing on their trip to Germany and the entire world knows about it.

That's my thinking. A cruise ship is gigantic. His ass didn't need to leave the ship if he didn't want to be around his grandmother. He left the ship of his own volition, probably hoping to recreate some of the German porn he's stumbled upon online.

All passengers boarding or leaving a cruise ship have to have their cruise card scanned. A guard checks the embarkation photo against the person entering/leaving. This raises some serious concerns about Princess Cruise Lines. First, how can they not know if his grandmother left the ship with him? The computer maintains an exact list of each person and the time they left/re-boarded the ship. Second, as a minor he was required to wear a wristband indicating he was underage. That fact would also have popped up on the screen as he was attempting to leave the ship, prompting the crew member to ask where grandmother was. You don't let minors disembark a ship by themselves in a foreign port. Since it seems likely grandma was with him exiting the ship, she has some 'splainin to do!

It was an ocean cruise, not a river cruise, R75.

A 14-year-old American boy who walked away from the Caribbean Princess cruise ship after its scheduled stop at a German port more than three days ago has been found safe, his grandmother said Saturday.

Aydin Brown had been on the cruise with his grandmother, but left the ship after it docked at Rostock-Warnemünde on Thursday morning, authorities said.

State and local police on Saturday distributed three new photos of the teenager as their regional search remained underway. Two of the photos, captured from security video, included an unknown man who appeared to be speaking with Brown.

In an earlier statement, Rostock municipal police said they wanted to speak to the man or anyone who can identify him.

The two walked toward Warnemünde church square about 7:45 a.m., Thursday, police said.

Princess Cruises thanked German authorities for finding the teenager.

"We are delighted that Aydin Brown has been found safe and sound," the cruise line said in a statement Saturday. "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to German authorities for their swift response and exceptional efforts in locating Aydin after he disembarked in Warnemunde last Thursday morning."

The company said Brown has been reunited with family.

According to cruise ship tracker CruiseMapper, the 12-day journey travels the Baltic Sea, with destinations that include Copenhagen, Denmark and Stockholm, Sweden. The roundtrip cruise started in Southampton, England, on June 30 and was scheduled to return on July 12, according to the site.

"Aydin Brown had been on the cruise with his grandmother, but left the ship after it docked at Rostock-Warnemünde on Thursday morning, authorities said."

So he walked off the ship and everyone knew it..so what was the "luring" bullshit about? Is his grandma a fucking Johnny Drama or what? This story was always weird and unclear because they didn't even seem to know if his grandma left the ship with him. So they made that huge worldwide plea, and the kid just came back? So where was he? Now they want their fucking privacy, no doubt, but they were cool to blast this annoying story everywhere before. If you can't keep track of your ugly kid, don't take him traveling. And if you do, and lose him, better figure it out. Especially if he just obnoxiously walked away. Put a leash and a tracker on him.

So then they finally decided to look at his laptop chats or whatever and figured out he met someone, or did he tell them that? Why does his fucking family infantalize him so much that they decided he must have been kidnapped because he couldn't possibly make plans and stick with them.

The first news reports seem to have been about 48 hours after he went missing. If a young teenager is disappears and cannot be contacted for that length of time, especially in a foreign country, it's absolutely treated seriously. Thankfully everything was fine, but when 14 year olds disappear to meet up with internet friends, it has the potential to end up not so well.
