Missing Thalia (13) from Borken: Police are asking for information!
In Borken, a quiet town in the Schwalm-Eder district in Hesse, the disappearance of 13-year-old Thalia A. is causing great concern. The student has been missing since 8 p.m. on Sunday, June 15, 2025, after she left her parents' house at 4:30 p.m. to meet a friend. The plan was for her to return home in time for 8 p.m., but that didn't happen. The police immediately initiated search measures, which have so far been unsuccessful. Information about this is provided by Bild.
Thalia is around 1.85 meters tall, has shoulder-length black hair and was wearing a black hoodie and white shoes when she disappeared. She also had a black Nike backpack with her. The police have published a photo of the young woman and are asking the public for help. Information about the whereabouts of Thalia A. can be given to the police station in Homberg (Efze) on +49 5681 774-0, as can be read on the Hessian police website ([Hessen Police](https://polizei.hessen.de/icc/internetzentral/nav/0f8/broker.jsp?uMen=0f86f936-f352-c413-433 0-f43bb838f39b&uCon=1bf706aa-65d5-7791-6c1a-6fa10700d231&uTem=8ed702cd-aff2-3941-cd47-a0a30165474d)).
A concern for the entire community
Thalia A.'s failure to return has thrown not only her family but the entire community in Borken into turmoil. Such missing person cases are a serious issue not only in Hesse, but throughout Germany. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), minors whose area of life is unknown are often the cause of alarms. In such cases, the local police station is the first point of contact for information and investigations ([BKA](https://www.bka.de/DE/ UnserAufgabe/Ermittlungsunterstuetzung/BearbeitungVermisstenfaelle/machenVermisstenfaelle_node.html)).
The BKA has the responsibility to coordinate missing person cases, especially when they are potentially in danger. Large-scale searches are organized, often in collaboration with emergency services and rescue services. As a rule, missing people are recorded in an information system and appropriate searches are started in order to provide help as quickly as possible.
Review statistics show that most youth missing cases are solved within a week. Nevertheless, concern for Thalia A.'s well-being remains current. At such a moment, community efforts are crucial: every helping hand, every piece of information could be helpful.
The police in Homberg (Efze) are counting on the help of all citizens to bring Thalia home safely and quickly. Stay alert and report anything suspicious!
