What to do with missing people? The local police headquarters are responsible for the management of the search, and the procedure depends heavily on the type of case. According to [BKA] (https://www.bka.de/de/unsereuflechen/ermittlungsunstugetung/ editors-stenfaelle/verzwarchung-vermisstenfaelle.html) one person is considered missing if they are inexplicably absent and a danger to life or life is accepted. This applies particularly to minors who immediately assumed a danger.

In Germany there were around 9,420 registered missing cases on January 1, 2025. On average, 200 to 300 new searches are entered every day and about 50 % of these cases are clarified within the first week. It is noteworthy that more than two thirds of the missing people are male. The high figures underline the urgency of the police and the organizations involved to actively combat the problem of missing people.

Overall, the current developments in Weichering show and run 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 persons will soon return healthily.
