Three Attempts to Recover Laura Dahlmeier Fail as RTL Pulls Her TV Challenge

A secret September search requested by her family found no trace.

Overview

  • German outlets report three unsuccessful missions to find the former biathlon champion on Laila Peak after her late-July death in a rockfall.
  • Rescue teams confronted unstable terrain, frequent rockfall and avalanche risk, and poor weather that prevented a safe recovery.
  • The most recent operation, led by a Pakistani guide, was kept quiet until a participant’s Instagram post revealed it, prompting her management to issue factual details.
  • Reports cite Dahlmeier’s written wish that no one be put at risk to retrieve her body, and her resting place is expected to remain on the mountain for now.
  • RTL cut her previously recorded biathlon challenge from “Drei gegen Einen” out of respect and dedicated the episode to her, with the show airing Sept. 27 at 20:15 and already available on RTL+.
