Emilia Stepanović back! Family breathes to worry about missing granddaughter

The dramatic search has found a happy ending: Emilia Stepanović (18), the granddaughter of football coaching legend Dragoslav Stepanović, has returned safely! On St. Nicholas Day, December 6, 2024, the young woman disappeared from her parents' apartment in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Her disappearance caused great concern within the family and in public after the police started a search with pictures from Emilia. According to the police, Emilia suffers from a mental retardation and has the spiritual status of an eight to ten-year-old child. This made the search particularly urgent and complicated because it is considered introverted and quiet and can only name her name in speech.

The positive news came directly from Ahrensburg, a place near Hamburg, where Emilia was sighted. Her father, Vladimir Stepanović, explained that the 18-year-old was doing well and she was now in the care of her family again. The background of her disappearance is still unclear, but the relief in the Stepanović family is immeasurable. Dragoslav Stepanović, known from his time at Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen, had commented on his granddaughter in the press. His family can now breathe a sigh of relief, as well as rtl.de reported.

A personal drama ends positively

The case received attention on social media when the family publicly asked for help. It was repeatedly emphasized that Emilia is perceived as very quiet and reserved. Her specific walk, which is characterized by a upper body bent forward, also noticed. This detailed information is important to make your description clear to the public. It is a real ray of hope that it was found after days of uncertainty, which contributes significantly to the mental relief of the family.
