JAKARTA - Alvaro Kiano Nugroho, a 6-year-old boy, has been declared missing since Thursday, March 6, 2025, or it has been 47 days until now. The family is still trying to find his whereabouts.

Alvaro's grandfather, Tugimin, said that his grandson was last seen at the Jami Al Muflihun Mosque, Bintaro area, Pesanggrahan, South Jakarta. At that time, Alvaro said goodbye to pray and break his fast at the mosque.

Before going to the mosque, he had time to ask for milk around 2 pm. I said, 'dek, right?' Then he answered, 'If a child is little, fasting is okay for half a day,' Tugimin said, when met at his residence on Tuesday, April 22.

After that, Alvaro took a shower, changed clothes, and prepared to go to the mosque. Tugimin said Alvaro had brought trousers, but was not worn at the time.

Allegedly taken by OTK Claiming to be his Father According to Tugimin's narrative, before breaking the fast, an unknown person (OTK) came to the mosque and met the marbot (the mosque guard). The OTK claimed to be Alvaro's father and asked about the whereabouts of the child.

The marbot said, the person said 'I'm looking for my son, Alvaro. He said he liked praying at the mosque here.' Then the marbot replied, 'There is a child above',' Tugimin said imitating the conversation between the marbot and the OTK.

After the conversation, the unknown person left the mosque. However, Alvaro did not come home after Maghrib's time, even though he usually always came back after praying and breaking the fast at the mosque.

At first, the family didn't feel suspicious. They thought Alvaro was playing with his friends as usual. However, until the evening, his whereabouts were unknown.

"I just realized and started looking around half past 10 pm. We looked around the house, neighbors, and other RTs, but no one knew where they were," explained Tugimin.
