Run Away
Initially the main theory was that thirteen-year old Alvar had run away. However, it is hard to explain why Alvar would not have dressed up more with heavier shoes, eaten breakfast, brought his money and/or used his bicycle if he had planned to leave.
A boy in Alvar's age had been seen north of Kalmar, in Påskallavik, but he could later be identified. That was also the case for a boy who had gotten a ride by a truck driver, a boy that had been seen spending the Sunday night at the postal station in Rottne, and other boys that had been spotted hitch-hiking in the area.
