Overview

  • The patient left the Forensische Psychiatrie Erlangen alone on a permitted day leave Saturday and did not return, prompting a missing person report Sunday.
  • Police have conducted targeted searches of his known addresses and checked his immediate circle without locating him.
  • Clinic officials note that unescorted day leaves have taken place regularly this year without incident.
  • Such leaves are part of standard rehabilitation and risk management in German forensic psychiatry, supervised but aimed at community reintegration.
  • Tabloid reports name him as Georg R., convicted in 2010 for the Ansbach school attack, though authorities have not officially confirmed his identity.
