Once again, a large contingent of police officers in the border area was involved in the search – 800 people were there, as «Focus» reports. The police are searching with dogs, several patrols and helicopters.
The helpers had continued their search, which had been ongoing since Sunday, at night. It was the second night that Julia was searched for. There were initially no indications of Julia’s whereabouts. The area in question is cold and wet.
Disappeared while playing in the forest
The girl disappeared on Sunday while playing in the forest on Cerchov Mountain. Julia’s parents went hiking there on Sunday with their two children and a nephew. The summit, known in German as Schwarzkopf, is about two kilometers from the German-Czech border, roughly in the middle of a triangle made up of Waldmünchen, Furth im Wald and Domažlice.
The children played and moved away from their parents. When they could no longer be found, the family notified the rescue workers. While they found the son and nephew, the eight-year-old daughter was missing.
However, the police do not assume a crime, reports the “Bayerischer Rundfunk”. It is believed that the girl got lost. Cold and exhaustion could become problematic for the child. (AFP / man)
