background to missing cases

Alfred's disappearance is reminiscent of other tragic cases of missing persons, such as those of Deborah “Debbie” Sassen from Düsseldorf, which disappeared on February 13, 1996 at the age of eight after swimming lessons. Your personal objects have not appeared to this day, and the largest search for the Düsseldorf police brought no result. Witnesses reported a man in a beige car that could never be identified.

Another example is the case of Emanuela Orlandi, which disappeared into the Vatican on June 22, 1983. Emanuela was the daughter of a court servant of Pope John Paul II. Her family lived in the Vatican, and there is speculation about possible kidnapping of the holy chair. The case leads to open questions to this day and the Italian judiciary discontinued the investigation in 2015, but evidence and documents for review were announced in January 2023.

In addition, there are various cases of missing children, including Pascal from Burbach, whose fate has remained unclear since his missing person report in September 2001. The case of Pascal is particularly complex because several suspects were related to a confession, but there are no conclusive evidence. Despite these challenges, the police investigations remain in the hope of finding new traces.

Anyone who has clues to their whereabouts should immediately contact the association "Austria finds you".
