Police Seek Public Help Finding Two Missing People in Berlin and Dresden

Authorities have issued photo and description appeals because one woman needs medication and a teenager may be in busy public areas.

Overview

  • Berlin police released a photo on September 2 as they renewed the search for 52-year-old Sylvia D., who left her Lichtenberger Straße apartment on August 30 and has not been seen since.
  • Officers say Sylvia has a neurodegenerative disease, is dependent on medication, and could be in a psychological emergency, creating an urgent health risk if she is not located quickly.
  • Dresden police are looking for 16-year-old Vasiliki C., who left her parents’ home at around 17:00 earlier this week and may be in or near shopping centers in the city center.
  • Both forces have published identifying details and asked anyone with information to call the Berlin Kriminaldauerdienst at 030/4664-571100 or the Polizeidirektion Dresden at 0351/4832233.
  • Local police say these public appeals are a routine step to gather fast sightings and narrow searches, and investigators are checking likely public spaces while following up on tips.
