Police are desperately searching for missing boys in Hofgeismar!

In Hofgeismar, a small town in the Kassel district, two missing 13-year-old boys are currently causing concern. Leon J. and Omar T. left their parents' apartment on Monday morning, August 11, 2025, and the police suspect that they ran away together. Unfortunately, the personal investigations have not been successful so far, which is why the police are urgently asking the public for help. The situation is tense and there is something in the air.

The police describe Leon J. as being around 1.80 meters tall, slim and with short black hair. At the time of his disappearance, he was dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt with “Los Angeles” written on it and a black fanny pack. Omar T., on the other hand, is wanted with a height of around 1.70 meters and a lean physique. His hair is shaved short and black. Unfortunately, there is no information about his current clothing. Information about the whereabouts of the two boys is urgently requested to the North Hesse Police Headquarters on +49 561 910-0 or any other police station reports the Hesse police.

Search measures and challenges

Searching for missing children always presents a number of challenges. Chief Detective Torben Konrad, deputy head of Criminal Investigation Department 44 of the Düsseldorf police, sheds light on the problem of missing person cases. Five to six young people are reported missing in Düsseldorf every day; these are often so-called “long-term runners” who repeatedly leave home. However, parents also report their children missing at short notice, which usually happens once or twice a week. Cases of missing children under 13 are rarer, but occur about once a month said the WDR.

The challenges of searching are directly related to time. The longer a child has been missing, the greater the risk to the child. Because at night, when there are fewer people out and about, children may hide out of fear. That's why it's crucial that parents trust the police and speak openly about the situation. In such cases, immediate measures are taken, ranging from checking the last whereabouts to extensive searches using helicopters and hundreds reports WDR.

The responsibility that rests on the shoulders of investigators in such situations is enormous. That's why the authorities rely on the help of the public. Every clue can potentially be crucial to finding Leon J. and Omar T. quickly and safely.
