Inga Gehricke and Lars Mittank, missing for years, are looking for new clues about smoothie bottles in supermarkets.
Hope for new clues: Missing Inga and Lars in supermarkets!
In a dramatic call, the relatives of the missing Inga Gehricke and Lars Mittank are looking for crucial clues - and in an unusual way! The faces of the two missing people now adorn smoothie bottles in supermarkets in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This innovative search operation, initiated by the smoothie manufacturer “True Fruits”, brings new hope to the years-long investigation.
Inga Gehricke, who disappeared near Stendal on May 2, 2015 at the age of just five, and Lars Mittank, who disappeared without a trace in 2014 at the age of 28, are two of the most mysterious missing person cases in the country. Victoria Gehricke, Inga's mother, never gave up that her daughter was still alive. “I had to get used to the idea that Inga’s picture would be on a drink in the supermarket for weeks,” she explains. But the idea of reaching people in three countries prevailed. Influencers and social networks are also part of the campaign to raise public awareness of the fate of the two missing people.
The hope for new clues
The smoothie bottles not only contain photos of the missing people, but also a QR code that allows anyone with information to contact the family directly. “The information is easily accessible,” says Victoria Gehricke. “It wouldn’t be the first case to be solved thanks to a tip-off after years.” A total of 90,000 euros is being offered as a reward for information leading to Inga and Lars - an incentive that could perhaps bring crucial information to light.
The idea of depicting missing people on food packaging originally comes from the USA and was first implemented in the 1980s. Now this method could also open new doors in Europe. The relatives of Inga and Lars are optimistic that the campaign will draw attention to their cases and that perhaps someone will remember a seemingly insignificant observation that could lead to a solution. Hope lives on – for Inga, Lars and their families!
