The vessel company have said they’re working with German cops on the American teen’s case.

Aydin’s family have expressed their worry and heartbreak, with one of his cousins Anne taking to social media and sharing her fear that he’s been snatched.

She posted: “My worst nightmare continues to unroll. Aydin remains missing.

“It appears once he left the ship in Warnemünde, Germany, he may have been lured away.”

There’s reports that the young lad had a falling out with his gran which potentially lead him to get off the ship and vanishing, Fox News claims.

She has since got off the ship and is receiving support from Princess Cruises staff in Germany.

The company has also reportedly arranged for Aydin’s mum to fly out to help with the massive search.

Police revealed that the missing teen had previously made contact online with gamer’s in Germany, Bild reports.

Now cops are using an image from a CCTV camera to search for the witness who appeared to be out with Brown before his disappearance on Thursday.

In a statment, the Rostock Police said: “Who knows the unknown young man or can provide information about his whereabouts?

“Who saw the missing man at around 7:30 a.m. on Thursday morning together with the as yet unknown man at the train station in Warnemünde?”
