Six years after disappearing in Spain during a family vacation, Alex Batty, a young Briton, was finally found on Wednesday December 13, 2023 in France, near Toulouse. It’s Fabien Accidini, a chiropractic student, who by chance crossed paths with the teenager, now 17 years old. In a meeting For The Dispatchthe one who helped resolve this disappearance came out of silence on December 14, 2023. He explained that in addition to his studies, he delivers medicines to pharmacies. “Wednesday, as often, I drove at night. Around 2 o’clock, between two pharmacies, near Chalabre in Aude, I met a young man on the road. He walked while the rain fell in heavy drops. The second time I passed him, I decided to offer to drop him off somewhere.”he declared initially to explain in what context he had met Alex Batty. The latter would then have gotten into his van and the two young men tried to exchange.
“More than four days he walked in the mountain”
Fabien Accidini quickly realized that he did not speak French and then asked him a few questions in English. “When I asked him his name, he pretended his name was Zach, and then we continued chatting.” Finally, after talking for three hours, Alex Batty will end up revealing his true identity to him and detailing his story. “He said that his mother had taken him away when he was 12 years old. Since then, he had lived in Spain in a luxury house with around ten people. He would have arrived in France around 2021. In the middle of the weekend, he decided to leave his mother to join his family in England. He had been walking in the mountain for more than four days.”, said the student again The Dispatch. The former deceased would have assured him that he would never have been mistreated by his mother and that she would always have given him the possibility of leaving. He made this decision today because he felt the need to see his loved ones again. If Alex Batty’s goal was to reach a big city and then ask for help at the embassy, Fabien Accidini explained to him that the gendarmes were also able to accompany him and took him to the nearest police station. After several checks, it turned out that he was indeed the Briton who had been wanted for many years. “I hope he will be able to reconnect with his previous life and maybe one day we will see each other again!”concluded his savior full of hope.
