Germany missing teens police searches

Entities: Radolfzell · Gießen · Ludwigshafen · Police Department Mannheim · Butzbach

Overview

In early July 2026 German police launched coordinated searches for several missing youths. A 12‑year‑old girl vanished in Mühlacker on 29 June, a 14‑year‑old boy was reported missing in Merzig on 25 June, and a 17‑year‑old student in Bonn was located on 2 July. Mainz police issued a public appeal for 13‑year‑old Zlota P., last seen on 20 July, with intensified patrols at transport hubs on 22 July.

The public search for a 16‑year‑old girl in Mannheim ended on 27 July when she safely returned; media were asked to withdraw her photo. The search for 16‑year‑old Angelina Kristin Jäckel from Butzbach remains active, with the area expanded to nearby Gießen.

On 30 July police issued new missing‑person alerts. In Ludwigshafen, a 15‑year‑old girl disappeared from her home on 23 July; authorities provided a detailed description and urged the public to contact investigators. In a separate, unrelated case, Konstanz police sought a 68‑year‑old man missing from Radolfzell.

These developments show an ongoing, nationwide effort to locate missing minors in Germany, with some cases resolved and others still under active investigation.
