Vanessa Huber, missing Bavarian woman, spotted near Rostock‑Warnemünde

Vanessa Huber, a 39‑year‑old woman from Unterhaching near Munich, has been missing since November 2022 after a dispute with her husband. In early August 2026, several witnesses reported seeing a woman matching her description in the Stoltera/Diedrichshagen area on the Baltic Sea coast near Rostock‑Warnemünde. Police in Rostock confirmed the sightings and said a video recording of the possible sighting has been secured. A spokesperson for the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office (Staatsanwaltschaft München I) stated, "Diesen Hinweisen wird derzeit mit Hochdruck nachgegangen." The case remains under investigation, with authorities considering foul play, suicide or drowning as possible scenarios. The husband, Tobias Huber, died in 2024 and was previously a suspect, though no concrete evidence of a crime was found. Police are employing facial‑recognition experts to analyse the video and continue to appeal for information from the public.
