Missed Ilona O.: Police are desperately looking for hints

Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Deutschland - In and around Halle are currently two missing cases in the focus of the police, which provide worrying indications of possible health risks. The police call up the population for help to find the people they are looking for.

ilona O. from Bad Lauchstädt has been missing for more than a month. The 63-year-old did not return home from an excursion on May 11 and was reported missing on May 13th. Since then, extensive searches have taken place, including with the support of a police helicopter, a drone by the fire brigade and mantrail ends of the DLRG. Despite these intensive efforts, the previous measures remained unsuccessful. It is feared that Ilona O. will be dependent on vital medication, which is why her situation could worsen. Most recently, on May 12th near Oberklobikau and on May 15, she was seen in the direction of the vineyard, which causes the suspicion that it is in the vicinity of the Geiseltalsee. The Halle police accept information on 0345/224 1291 and therefore asks to contact other police stations if there is information. Further details can be found in a report by MDR.
