Overview

  • On June 8, passersby reported a swimmer struggling in Aileswasensee and rescue teams immediately launched a search operation.
  • A total of 37 DLRG lifeguards from Esslingen and Reutlingen joined firefighters, police and medical crews but suspended their two-hour search without locating the missing person.
  • Early sonar scans detected two underwater anomalies yet failed to confirm the presence of a body.
  • Authorities have closed the lake for three days to prevent public exposure to a potential body and protect bathers, especially children.
  • Officials expect the body may surface soon and have arranged a follow-up sonar sweep on Tuesday to resolve the case.
