General situation of missing people

In Germany, just under 10,000 people are currently registered as missing, as salind-gps informs. The number of missing person cases has remained constant for years; Around 200 to 300 people are reported missing every day. Worryingly, almost half of the missing people are teenagers and children. The reasons for the disappearance range from personal crises to school problems to heartbreak.

The police are responsible for the investigation and the majority of missing people are found within the first week. Cell phones are located and digital traces are evaluated to determine whereabouts. In cases of acute danger, comprehensive search measures are initiated immediately. Relatives often use social networks to spread the call for help.

Background and prevention

The reasons why people are considered missing are extremely diverse. Of particular concern are the many unaccompanied minors who are often in precarious situations. The police consider children and young people to be missing when they leave their usual surroundings. Adults, on the other hand, are not considered missing if they choose their whereabouts freely and there is no danger.

With good reason, nothing is left to chance: relatives can use GPS trackers to locate people in need of help. Seniors who live alone are particularly at risk of going missing. In any case, people who go missing should be found as quickly as possible for their own safety.
