Missing 80-year-old from Altötting: Police are asking for information!
On June 14, 2025, an 80-year-old man was reported missing in Altötting after he left the BRK retirement home on Mühldorfer Straße around 6 p.m. According to the police from Altötting, the man suffers from dementia and could therefore be confused and disoriented. A detailed description of the missing person is available: He is between 180 and 190 cm tall, has a normal build and short, dark hair. He was wearing long gray trousers, a gray sweater and dark shoes. The police are asking for information, which can be received by calling 08671/9644-0.
What is particularly worrying is the fact that the man has not been seen since he left the retirement home. The search for him began immediately. A large contingent was deployed, including the fire department, the district fire inspection, the BRK, a rescue dog team and the police with a helicopter. The public was asked to help, with a photo and described whereabouts of the missing person being published.
A familiar pattern?
Similar missing person cases in the region raise questions. Only recently, an 82-year-old senior with dementia and a 93-year-old man from Altötting were successfully found in Munich. The latter disappeared after an argument and was found safe and sound in Austria. The major search operation included the intensification of search and manhunt measures, with personal search dogs able to provide crucial clues. Late on Wednesday morning, police reported that the search for the man was continuing. In the afternoon the all-clear was finally given when the missing person was found. These cases illustrate the importance of rapid public investigation and cooperation between different authorities.
The incident in Altötting shows once again how important it is to pay attention to the needs of older people and to take appropriate precautions. Dementia can lead to major challenges in everyday life, affecting both family members and communities. The police are placing great hope on information from the public in order to bring the missing 80-year-old back quickly and safely.
It is all the more important to be attentive and, if in doubt, to provide help if you see a missing person. In the case of the 80-year-old from Altötting, the authorities hope to soon be able to report positive news about his whereabouts.
