Oliver Pocher Says Son Briefly Went Missing at Oktoberfest, Found Safe After Loudspeaker Announcement

He detailed the episode on his Podimo-exclusive podcast as a calm search that ended with staff announcing a child was seeking his parents.

Overview

  • Pocher said he attended the Munich festival with three of his five children and without security.
  • The child became separated near the Ferris wheel before a ride’s public address system reported a boy looking for his parents, and Pocher retrieved him unharmed.
  • On the podcast Die Pochers! Frisch recycelt, he described staying composed rather than panicking during the brief search.
  • Ex-wife Sandy Meyer-Wölden joked it was almost expected he would lose at least one child and mentioned an encounter with her mother at the grounds.
  • Coverage noted that a suggested precaution to equip the kids with AirTags was not used, and celebrity outlets published summaries of his account on Oct. 10.
