Dramatic search on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic! Eight-year-old Julia disappears without a trace on a family hike on Sunday.
As «Bild» reports, the girl went away with her brother and cousin on the hike to play. After the parents could not find the children, they alerted the police. She was able to find the brother and the cousin again. However, there is still no trace of Julia.
200 people in action
Now both Czech and German rescue workers are desperately looking for the girl. Several helicopters search the area, a thermal imaging camera and more than 30 person detection dogs are in use. According to information from the Czech news agency CTK, over 200 police officers and firefighters are on duty and combing the area bit by bit.
On Monday lunchtime, the police announced the official search for the girl. In the meantime, the search area has also been expanded.
No warm clothes
The search for Julia is difficult. The area around the Schwarzkopf mountain, where Julia disappeared, is considered an impassable forest area. The next town is miles away.
As the police say, Julia does not wear warm clothes. The temperatures at night are now dropping to freezing point. The search is urgent. (zis)
