Two Missing German Teenagers Located and Returned to Their Families

Police closed searches after both girls were found and taken back into family care.

Overview

  • Police in Berlin confirmed on Monday that a 16-year-old who left a Pankow community accommodation has been found and is back with her family.
  • The Berlin teenager left the shelter on Wednesday around noon heading toward Frankfurter Allee and carried no mobile phone, which officers said made contact and location harder.
  • Local police in Anhalt-Bitterfeld said a 14-year-old who left her Kleinwülknitz home on Friday morning returned on her own Sunday evening and the search was ended.
  • Authorities used public appeals, a criminal police hotline, email and the online Internetwache to collect tips while searches were under way.
  • Both cases followed standard missing-person procedures and ended with the girls in family care with no reports of criminal activity released so far.
