Corporate the missing Swiss woman in Hinterzarten!

Hinterzarten, Deutschland - A tragic turn has the case of the missing 76-year-old Swiss tourist, who had not appeared from Hinterzarten since May 29, 2025. On June 20, walkers in the region became aware of a female body, and the police assume that it is the missing woman with "chance of bordering the security". So far, indications of external influences have not been found, which makes the circumstances of their disappearance even more puzzling. An autopsy should bring clarity about the cause of her death, reports Merkur.

The tourist disappeared from the hotel on the evening of May 29, where she went on vacation with her husband. She was reported missing on the same evening. Although the local police quickly started a large -scale search that was supported by divers, rescue dogs and drones with thermal imaging technology, the search was initially unsuccessful. All achievable areas in and around the back were systematically searched before the police finally hired the search. According to the information from the police, the woman had remained in the vicinity of the hotel due to her mobility problems and a departure by train was considered unlikely because she usually does not travel alone. Further research also remained without a result, reports SWR.

search action included numerous measures

In the first two days after the disappearance, the police, fire brigade and mountain rescue service were with numerous emergency services supported by search dogs and drones. Divers searched the Adlerweiher and another pond, among other things, without the one being discovered. It was only weeks later after the intensely managed search was hired that walkers finally found the woman's body. This development raises the question of how her death came about and why it was not found earlier.

The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) also has an important role in such cases, because they support the local authorities in processing missing persons and coordinating searches at home and abroad. According to [BKA] (https://www.bka.de/de/unsereuflechen/ermittlungsunstugetung/verzorat-vermisstaellallenfaelle/ processing-wirtsfaelle.html), one person is considered missing if they are inexplicably absent and a danger is accepted. In the case of the 76-year-olds, these criteria did not seem to have been fulfilled at first, since there were no signs of a crime or an immediate danger.

The police will continue to investigate new information, while the residents and the tourism community in Hinterzarten are affected by this tragic incident. The circumstances of the case are observed by many and the Enlightenment remains an important goal. Such an event is of great importance not only for the family of those affected, but also for the community.
