Missing 13-year-old found safe and sound in Zeulenroda-Triebes!
Today, June 26, 2025, there is good news to report from Zeulenroda-Triebes: The Gera State Police Inspectorate has found a missing teenager. The public search notice, which was published on June 26, 2025, can be withdrawn after just a few hours. Police would like to thank the public for their support in helping to determine the whereabouts of 13-year-old Rama Dawoud. Whistleblowers can please delete the previously published material on the manhunt, as Rama is well and has been brought to safety.
The story began on June 7, 2025, when Rama left her home address on Stadtbachring Street at around 4 p.m. She was last picked up by police forces on June 7, 2025 at around 7:15 p.m. Before this happened, the police had initiated extensive searches to find the young Afghan woman, who was apparently believed to be in the Bad Lobenstein area. These measures were initially unsuccessful, which increased the authorities' concerns. Various people have been described who may have seen Rama.
The search for Rama Dawoud
The person in question is 13 years old, has dark brown hair and is around 165 cm tall. She weighs approximately 55kg and was wearing pink trousers and a black top at the time of her disappearance. The police asked the public for information in order to clarify her whereabouts as quickly as possible.
The numbers provide a frightening context for missing person cases in Germany. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), there were around 9,420 registered missing person cases as of January 1, 2025. Around 200 to 300 new searches are added every day, with more than 80% of the cases being cleared within a month. The figures for unaccompanied minor refugees (UMF) are particularly worrying, with around 4,300 reported missing in 2024.
The role of the police and BKA
The BKA plays a central role in processing and coordinating missing person cases in Germany. The BKA's “Missing Persons Office” processes these cases, identifies unknown bodies and helps helpless people. Minors are considered missing as soon as they leave their circle of life and their whereabouts are unknown. Adults, on the other hand, are free to choose where they want to stay, but an investigation will be carried out if there is a risk to life or limb.
The police are the first point of contact for direct searches for people. In the event of an acute threat, large-scale search operations are also launched with the support of riot police and emergency services. The good news about Rama Dawoud's well-being shows that public searches can also be successful, especially since local officials value the participation of the population.
