Overview

  • He left the Erlangen forensic psychiatric clinic alone on a permitted day outing on Saturday.
  • Ansbach prosecutors issued a Vollstreckungshaftbefehl and applied for a Europe-wide arrest warrant, and officers have checked known addresses without finding him.
  • Police are conducting targeted, non-public searches and have not released a photo due to legal and data‑protection limits, according to a spokesperson.
  • The clinic says unaccompanied day releases have been part of rehabilitation since early 2025 and had proceeded regularly without incident.
  • If he is detained, authorities say his therapeutic privileges will be withdrawn and his risk reassessed, and any offenses committed during his absence will be examined.
