Missing Anke Müller-Schmidt: Police are urgently looking for clues!
On December 22, 2025, the Starnberg police asked for help in the search for 57-year-old Anke Müller-Schmidt. The woman has been missing since Friday and was last seen by her son in her apartment. Since then, she has not shown up for work, which has caused great concern among her family and the authorities. Instead, all previous police searches have been unsuccessful.
The missing woman is around 170 cm tall, slim and has long, dark blonde hair. Information about her clothing is not yet known. The police do not consider an accident to be ruled out and rely on information from the public. In particular, we are looking for people who have seen Anke Müller-Schmidt since December 19th or who can provide information about her whereabouts. Information should be directed to the Starnberg police on 08151/3640 or to any other police station, as radio-oberland.de reports.
The procedure for missing person cases
Did you know that a person is considered missing in Germany if they remain unexplained and are deemed to be in danger to life or limb? The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) explains that the local police station is responsible for the direct search for people. In the event of acute danger, large-scale search measures are initiated, often with the support of riot police and emergency services. In Germany, almost 10,000 people are currently reported missing, as tagesschau.de reports.
Astonishingly, 70 percent of the missing people are men, including many male teenagers or boys. Children under 13 are particularly affected; 1,845 of the missing people fall into this age group. The police explain that minors are generally considered to be at risk to their life or physical integrity if their whereabouts are unknown.
Success rate in missing person cases
One bright spot: About half of all of these cases clear up very quickly, often within the first week. Within a month, 80 percent are cleared up. Nevertheless, around three percent of missing people remain untraceable for more than a year. The current situation surrounding the missing Anke Müller-Schmidt shows once again how important the public's help is in solving such cases as quickly as possible.
The police and their partners depend on the attention and support of citizens. Every clue can be crucial and give hope to relatives. If you know anything, don't hesitate to get in touch!
