Incredible how many people in Germany simply disappear every day. Most of them reappear soon after. Thankfully! They were with friends, traveling, or just taking a break from everyday life. However, some remain missing without a trace – forever. This book reports on such cases. These are fates that made headlines in the region. People who wanted to go to the city for coffee, who took a bike trip, or who set out for a walk. People who were abruptly taken from life. By what? Why? For the relatives, there are tormenting questions – and not infrequently, there is a late certainty that brings the worst to light. This book objectively recounts such events, including resolved missing person cases and those that are still awaiting resolution. And perhaps it helps to shed light on the darkness.
