Background to the search for missing persons in Germany
What to do if people go missing? The local police headquarters is responsible for leading the search, and the approach depends largely on the nature of the case. According to [BKA](https://www.bka.de/DE/ UnserAufgabe/Ermittlungsunterstuetzung/BearbeitungVermisstenfaelle/arbeitungVermisstenfaelle.html), a person is considered missing if they are inexplicably absent and a danger to life or limb is assumed. This is particularly true for minors who are immediately deemed to be in danger.
As of January 1, 2025, there were around 9,420 registered missing person cases in Germany. On average, 200 to 300 new searches are registered every day and around 50% of these cases are resolved within the first week. It is noteworthy that more than two thirds of the missing people are male. The high numbers underline the urgency of the police and the organizations involved to actively combat the problem of missing persons.
Overall, the current developments in Weichering and Laufen show that the search for missing people is a serious matter that often requires complex operational strategies and the help of the public. It remains to be hoped that the missing people will return safe and sound soon.
