Mysterious case: 84-year-old pensioner disappeared since Saturday!
In Neuhaus am Inn, Bavaria, an 84-year-old man is missing after he disappeared from a care facility. Ernst Preinstorfer has been untraceable since Saturday evening, August 10, 2025. Despite an intensive search by police, his whereabouts remain unknown. The Passau police station has asked the public for help in finding the missing senior citizen. Information can be given directly to the Passau police station on 0049 851/9511-0, as reported by 5min.at.
Ernst Preinstorfer was reported missing on Sunday afternoon. An appeal to citizens followed promptly, with the police publishing a photo of the man. He is between 175 and 178 cm tall, weighs around 75 to 80 kg and was wearing short black trousers and a T-shirt, the color of which is unknown. He was probably walking barefoot and suffers from noticeably swollen legs. The danger situation is uncertain, which makes an intensive search necessary, which includes police patrols, a helicopter, water rescue and fire brigade, as pnp.de describes.
Search measures and support
The local police have launched a large-scale search operation because Ernst Preinstorfer left the residential complex in an unknown direction. Such intensive operations are not uncommon when there is a risk to the life of the missing person. In Germany, a missing person is investigated by the police, especially if a threat to life or limb is assumed, as the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) explains. It is important that the public is involved in such processes in order to provide assistance quickly and efficiently.
The search can be complex and often requires collaboration from various agencies. In particular, in acute cases, large rooms with different resources are searched. The local police station is responsible for this, while the BKA provides support in larger manhunts. Missing people are recorded in a special information system so that all relevant information can be quickly analyzed.
So far, the search for Ernst Preinstorfer has not been completed successfully despite all efforts. The hope remains for information from the population to bring the Lord back safely.
