Tragic missing person case: Hopes for Rezan Cakici on November 5th

Tragic missing person case: Hopes for Rezan Cakici on November 5th
The darkness of an unsolved crime surrounds the case of Rezan Cakici, whose situation remains unsolved for over eight years. Today, November 5, 2025, his fate will be discussed in the ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY… Unsolved”. In this issue, the Oldenburg investigators hope to shed light on the mystery with fresh clues. Cakici is listed as missing, but police firmly believe he was the victim of a homicide. A body has yet to be found, which makes the situation incomprehensible.
Since his disappearance on July 3, 2017 from his bar in Oldenburg, the case has not developed significantly, despite numerous tips and rewards of 5,000 euros. Concerned relatives and friends are eagerly awaiting information that could solve the mysterious case. An uncle of Cakici was shot dead shortly after his disappearance, while his father was seriously injured, causing further confusion and fear in the family.
Dark connections
Cakici was closely linked to the “Hells Angels” and once headed the “Hells Angels Turkey Nomads” group in Bielefeld. Before his disappearance, there were disputes within his extended Kurdish family over missing sums of money from drug deals, which investigators have narrowed down to a possible motive for the incident. In the wake of new tips published in 2023, it was decided to revisit the case. A special information portal has been set up to collect further information.
A special human interest story will be told in tomorrow's show: 19 to 21 year olds report how they saved the life of a woman who was the victim of a knife attack. These stories show that despite the bleak circumstances, there is also hope and courage.
The path to the audience
Some viewers may wonder why such cases continue to be brought to light. The answer is simple: in the hope of sensitizing audiences to the reality of these crimes, the media assumes much the same role as films do in the entertainment industry. Stories are also told in the cinema that make us think - such as the upcoming film "Superman", which will be released in cinemas a few weeks after today's broadcast. Packed with high tension and dramatic twists, the superhero genre captivates many viewers.
As Cakici's coverage shows, these real-life situations are often no less dramatic than the fictional stories unfolding on the big screen. When viewers tune in tomorrow, they can hope that their tips will help solve the mysterious case of Rezan Cakici.
The Oldenburg police are still looking for clues and are grateful for any form of support. She does everything she can to solve this mystery and finally give the relatives some answers.
