A recently reported case that is thought-provoking is that of a missing 61-year-old man from Zwickau who was found unharmed after several days of disappearance. He had left his usual surroundings on Ernst-Grube-Straße and could not be reached for a while. Despite health restrictions and shy behavior, he remained undetected for a long time, which once again underlines the importance of public searches, as Tag24.de reports.
