Upon his discovery, Baltimore Police officers immediately transported Tristan to a local hospital. There, he received necessary medical and psychological evaluations. The successful resolution of this case is attributed to the persistent efforts of investigators and the crucial partnerships established between various law enforcement agencies and the wider community.

The coordinated search effort included significant contributions from the Baltimore Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service, alongside other local and federal entities. Officials expressed their gratitude for the community’s involvement, highlighting how tips from the public proved instrumental. The U.S. Marshals Service, in particular, reaffirmed its commitment to supporting state and local partners in the recovery of missing children nationwide and commended the Baltimore Police Department for their exceptional work in safely recovering Tristan.

While Tristan has been found, the investigation remains active. Authorities are currently reviewing potential charges against individuals who may have assisted in concealing Tristan or impeding the law enforcement investigation.
