STURGEON BAY, WISCONSIN (WTAQ) – The search for the 17-year-old Sturgeon Bay boy who has been missing since Monday intensified on Thursday.
Sturgeon Bay Police issued an ‘endangered missing person alert’ for Louis Amelinckx.
Captain Dan Brinkman says they believe Amelinckx has been in Milwaukee since mid-afternoon Wednesday. He notes the department has received multiple calls from people saying they spotted Amelinckx near the UW-Milwaukee campus.
Amelinckx reportedly left Sturgeon Bay with two men early Monday and spent several hours in a Green Bay apartment complex before traveling to Oshkosh.
Brinkman says concerns over Amelinckx’s medical condition prompted the alert. It is not believed Amelinckx is taking his prescription medications.
Amelinckx’s mother reportedly told Brinkman that without the medication, her son has little control over common sense, no impulse control, is easily exploitable, and will engage in risky behaviors without thought.
The Sturgeon Bay Police Department is investigating the case along with the Wisconsin Department of Justice Divison of Criminal Investigation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Amelinckx is listed at 5’8″ and 120 pounds with an olive skin complexion, brown eyes, black hair with three lines shaved into each side of his head, and a small scar on the side of his mouth.
Anyone with information should contact Sturgeon Bay Police at 920-746-2450.
