Investigations and challenges

The search for missing people has many challenges. According to the experience of other police directorates, such as Düsseldorf, time is a critical factor. The longer someone has disappeared, the greater the risk for the person in question. In the city of Düsseldorf, for example, an average of five to six young people are reported as missing every day, many of them are so -called "permanent runners".

The Düsseldorf police department shows how important trust between the parents and the police is. Because in many cases, especially in unknown missing children, there are immediate measures. In such cases, the police first visit the home of the family affected and speak to the parents to find out where there has already been searched and where the child could be found.

The challenges become particularly clear at night when only a few people are on the move, which makes the search considerably more difficult. Often those affected hide out of fear. In Frankenberg, too, there is hope of bringing Margarete K. back safely, despite the difficulties in searching.
