Celle Police Scale Back Search as Blood Trail in Missing Woman Case Ends Abruptly

Investigators have moved to targeted patrols, releasing new photos to spur public tips.

Overview

  • Michelle H., 25, disappeared in the early hours of March 11 after leaving her apartment with a neck wound during an apparent psychological emergency.
  • A neighbor reported heavy blood in the stairwell and police noted drops leading outside, with media reporting the trail stretched nearly 200 meters before stopping at an intersection.
  • Following days of searches with helicopters, dogs and divers, officers have paused large-scale sweeps in favor of patrols at locations she was known to visit.
  • Police say a criminal offense cannot be excluded as they also examine self-injury; a 46-year-old acquaintance who called for help was questioned and currently faces no urgent suspicion.
  • Authorities published new images and a detailed description and emphasize she likely needs urgent medical care, urging anyone with information to contact Celle police.
