Corporate a missing woman in Passau from the Danube

Passau, Deutschland - A worrying situation has occurred in Passau. On July 6, 2025, a 59-year-old woman was reported missing, and the search after her was finally discontinued on July 8, 2025 at 3 p.m. That day the woman's body was recovered from the Danube. The site is located at the Gaißa inflow, and there is currently no evidence of external or violence. The Passau criminal police inspection has taken over the investigation to clarify the circumstances of death. The police headquarters in Lower Bavaria also thanks the media for the support during the search and asks for deletion of all personal data and photographs that were transmitted in connection with the case. Pokin Hiller, available on Tel. 09421/868-1013, is the media contact for further information

But not only this case employed the local police. Another body was discovered in the same region on Saturday, which was missing about a year ago. Walkers found the body of a 77-year-old man in a forest near Innstrasse in Passau. The police confirmed that the man had been missing since July 2024 and had previously been searched by public investigation. Here, too, there is currently no evidence of external or violence, and the criminal police have taken over the investigation. Details on the exact circumstances and the location of the find are not yet known.

The development of crime in view

However, the PKS only captures the crimes known to the police, while a significant part of the offenses never report - this dark field statistics shows that some crimes, especially those that take place in family contexts, are less often reported as crimes by strangers. The most common crimes remain thefts and fraud, while the crimes against life such as murder and homicide only make up 0.1 %. In 2024, 285 people were also murdered, a slightly declining trend compared to the previous year.

A very complex picture that stimulates thinking. The police are not only faced with the task of clarifying crimes, but also has to best inform the public - a challenge in the sometimes shocking circumstances that were uncovered in Passau. The investigation in both cases continues, and the criminal police will do everything possible to explore the background of the tragedies.
