When there is no explanation for the disappearance, family, friends and the police are left with a mystery.
There are also cases like this in Munich.
Munich - It sounds unlikely that a person in today's modern age is suddenly swallowed up by the face of the earth.
But that's exactly what happens again and again.
Every year, 2,000 to 3,000 people are wanted in Munich alone.
These days, 1,600 people are missing across Bavaria.
Usually only briefly: According to the police, runaways or lost seniors often reappear quickly.
But then there are the cases that give investigators a headache.
Because there are no recognizable reasons for the disappearance, the worst must be feared.
Our newspaper shows cases of missing people in Munich and the surrounding area, where the police are urgently hoping for information.
Vanessa Huber, 39, Unterhaching
It's almost been three months since Vanessa Huber was last seen alive.
There are images from a surveillance camera that show the 39-year-old in the Norma market on Münchner Strasse 113 in her hometown of Unterhaching.
That was on November 5 at 4:40 p.m.
At her side: her husband.
He told the police that the couple was then in the shared apartment and there was an argument.
Vanessa Huber left – and was never seen again.
The slim blonde woman left her cell phone, car and bicycle behind.
Since then, searches have been unsuccessful in Unterhaching, in the sports park, the surrounding waters and the Perlacher Forest.
Drones are currently flying over the forest area.
Even a broadcast of the case in the TV show "Aktenzeichen XY... unsolved" has not brought any hot leads so far.
The Presidium accepts information on 089/2 91 10.
Dana Shaker Khudadad, 22, Harlaching
His case only made headlines on Sunday: Friends from abroad had contacted the Munich police early in the morning because they were very worried about Dana Shaker Khudadad.
The exchange with him on social media revealed that the 22-year-old suffers from acute mental problems.
When officials from the Presidium drove to his address in Harlaching, there were indications that the young man was in an exceptional mental situation.
The public search initiated on Sunday was unsuccessful.
According to the police, there is now a possibility that Dana Shaker Khudadad is abroad.
Anyone who sees him or has any information is asked to call 089/2 91 00 immediately.
Anab Ahmed Mohamed, 21, Ramersdorf
She usually wears a headscarf and also a nose ring: Anab Ahmed Mohamed was last seen in the area of a dormitory in Ramersdorf-Perlach.
That was on September 23 of last year in the morning hours.
After that, the Somali woman did not show up at work, nor did she show up at friends' houses, or could be reached by phone.
The 21-year-old from the east of Munich is 1.60 meters tall, slim, has dark hair and has a high-pitched voice.
Notes: 089/2 91 00.
Hermann Pitz, 83, Schwabing
Where did Hermann Pitz go?
The police headquarters has been dealing with this question since March 28, 2022. On that day, the man from Schwabing left his apartment on Dietlindenstrasse at 4:45 p.m. – and has not returned since.
The 83-year-old could need help and no longer know where he is.

Hermann Pitz has blue eyes, is slim and originally comes from Mönchengladbach.
Information under 089/2 91 00.
Achilleas K., 39, Schwabing
After returning from work, Achilleas K. just wanted to stretch his legs and go get some air.
The 39-year-old did not return from his walk on January 12.
His wife last saw him around 1 p.m. in the shared apartment on Petra-Kelly-Strasse in Schwabing.
"It cannot be ruled out that he is in a helpless situation," the police said.
The Schwabinger had left his cell phone at home.
Typical for Achilleas K. are his brown horn-rimmed glasses and the scar he has between his eyes.
On the day of his disappearance he was wearing a dark blue quilted jacket, a turquoise sweater, dark blue jeans and black winter shoes.
Anyone who has seen him or has information can call the Munich police headquarters on 089/2 91 00.
