Police are looking for 14-year-old girl from Rostock – suspect with tattoos!
The fate of a 14-year-old girl from Rostock has caused great concern in recent days. She has been missing since August 29, 2025, after she was last seen downtown around 10 p.m. Police were forced to launch a public manhunt after initial investigations yielded no results. The relatives expressed particular concerns because the girl is mentally handicapped and has the intellectual level of a child, which makes her particularly vulnerable, as merkur.de reports.
A suspect was the focus of the search: a man around 40 years old, around 167 cm tall and with a slim build, was last believed to be at her side. Distinctive features, such as short blonde hair, a goatee and striking Asian-looking tattoos on his arms, made him easily recognizable to police. Investigators believed it was likely that the duo had stayed in a hotel or similar accommodation.
Happy end to the search
On August 31, 2025, the authorities were finally able to give the all-clear: the missing girl was found safe and sound and the search was stopped. This is a ray of hope when you consider that five to six young people are reported missing every day in cities like Düsseldorf. These are often “long-term runners” who are repeatedly noticed in their absence. For the police, each case is an individual challenge that requires immediate measures, such as spiegel.de and the WDR report.
It's about trust and acting quickly, especially when it comes to missing children. Chief Detective Inspector Torben Konrad says that on difficult nights, when fewer people are out and about, the search for missing children is made much more difficult. Should a child disappear overnight, the risk increases, so police mobilize all available resources to ensure the children's safety.
Veel helps a lot, and the combination of directly approaching parents, checking known contact points and extensive searches is becoming the norm when children go missing. The fate of the Rostock girl is one of many stories that illustrate the urgency and challenges of police work in missing person cases.
