German missing-person cases of Alexander Bohnert and Corina Niemand highlighted on ZDF

Alexander Bohnert, a 51‑year‑old father from Lichtenau‑Muckenschopf in the Rastatt district, disappeared on 3 April 2024 after leaving his home for a night shift. Surveillance footage captured his last known movements, and a subsequent police search involving helicopters, drones and sniffer dogs found no trace. The family appealed for help on the ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY … Vermisst”, and new tips have led investigators to check locations in France, though no breakthrough has been confirmed.

Corina Niemand, a 43‑year‑old mother from Dresden‑Dölzschen, vanished on 23 March 2024. After two years of extensive searches, a single human bone discovered in April 2026 near the Begerburg villa was identified by medical examiners as belonging to her. The case is now treated as a homicide, with police urging anyone who saw suspicious activity near the site in early March 2024 to come forward. Both investigations remain open, and authorities continue to solicit public information.
