15-year-old Delina S. disappeared from Göttingen – police are looking for witnesses!

The search for 15-year-old Delina S. from Göttingen is attracting a lot of attention these days. The young girl has been missing since June 30, 2025 and the police have asked the public for help. NDR reports, that there is evidence that suggests that Delina may be in the Hanover area, but this has not been verified. Delina is described as being around 1.70 meters tall and with a slim build. Her striking appearance is highlighted by purple-dyed hair and several visible piercings on her face.

The police have their hands full trying to find Delina. What is particularly worrying is the fact that after delicate cases like this, time often works against the investigators. “The longer a child has been missing, the greater the risk,” explains Torben Konrad, chief detective in Düsseldorf, who deals with missing person cases. WDR informed about the challenges police face in such cases.

Call for help

The Göttingen police ask anyone who has information about Delina's whereabouts to come forward immediately. Calls are possible on (0551) 491 21 15. It is suspected that Delina may be dressed in dark clothing, making her identification even more difficult. The Göttinger Tageblatt also called for this, keep all eyes open and actively participate in the search.

Missing person cases are often complex and are viewed individually by the police. When unknown missing persons, as in the case of Delina, the investigators take action quickly and efficiently. They visit the missing person's home and check all common contact points. If the child cannot be found in his usual environment, the police use massive resources to intensify the search.

Trust and openness

A big factor in the search is the trust of the parents. The police need the full support of the parents in order to have the best possible chance of a quick reunion. “There are fewer people out and about at night, which makes the search more difficult,” explains Konrad. WDR highlights that children might hide out of fear. This increases the complexity of the search and presents officers with additional challenges.

The hope remains that Delina can be returned quickly and safely. The community in Göttingen and the surrounding area is ready to help in this important search. It remains to be hoped that Delina will be back with her family soon and that this difficult situation will come to an end.
