Overview
- Police and the public prosecutor issued the renewed witness call on May 25 under the federal 'Spurlos Verschwunden' missing-children campaign to push the long-running investigation forward.
- Sandra Wißmann, then 12 years old, was last seen on November 28, 2000 on Kottbusser Damm walking toward the Landwehrkanal and has been missing ever since.
- Investigators from the 5th Mordkommission treat the case as a likely homicide and note that an immediate, large search in 2000 involved up to 100 officers who checked cellars, stairwells and courtyards.
- The recent appeal generated 15 new tips that investigators said were not helpful, and authorities again ask anyone with information to contact the LKA 5th Mordkommission by phone, email or via any police station or the Internetwache.
- Reports include detailed descriptions of Sandra’s appearance and clothing at the time she vanished which investigators continue to publicize to jog memories and prompt new leads.
