In order to understand the dimensions of missing people in general, it is helpful to consider the context of the work of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in Germany. According to bka.de since its foundation in 1951, the BKA has been missing, which is underlined how important comprehensive investigative measures are.

bka’s “missing person” has various tasks, which include the search for missing persons, the identification of unknown corpses and the support of helpless people. Especially in the case of missing minors, a danger is generally assumed, which reinforces the urgency of the investigation in the case of Madeleine McCann.

In 2025, around 9,420 missing cases were registered in Germany, and around 200 to 300 new cases are recorded every day. The increasing number of cases of unaccompanied minor refugees, of whom around 4,300 were missing in 2024 alone, are particularly worrying. These statistics not only illustrate the tragedy of missing persons, but also the challenges with which the investigative authorities are faced.
