In this episode of TheColdCases.com podcast, we share the heartbreaking and mysterious disappearance of Alexander Michael Kruck. Alex was just 26 years old when he vanished from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the summer of 2020. Once a talented athlete with a promising future, Alex’s life took a difficult turn as he struggled with addiction and instability. Despite those challenges, he remained deeply loved by his family, who describe him as caring, funny, and full of potential.
The last confirmed sighting of Alex came in July or early August 2020, but since then—no calls, no social media posts, no trace. His case highlights the struggles families face when a loved one disappears under uncertain circumstances, and the painful reality of living with unanswered questions.
Through narration, we reflect on Alex’s early life, his challenges, the final days before his disappearance, and the enduring love of his family who continue to search for answers. This is not just a story of a missing person—it is a story of resilience, grief, and the importance of never forgetting those who vanish without explanation.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Alex Kruck, please contact the Milwaukee Police Department. Even the smallest detail could bring this family closer to the truth.
