Missing mother from Pommelsbrunn: Police examine See for clues

There are serious developments in a mysterious missing person case from Middle Franconia: A 49-year-old woman from Pommelsbrunn has been missing since September 27th and the police have recently intensified the search for her. Her children reported her missing the day after she disappeared. During the investigation, the trail leads to the waters of the Happurg quarry lake, where corpse-sniffing dogs showed a noticeable reaction.

The search operations have been going on for almost two weeks and are now concentrating on the Happurg quarry lake, where the police are looking for the missing person with divers and search dogs. A police spokesman clarified that the evidence suggests that the missing person may no longer be alive. During the search operations on October 5, human search dogs and air support were used to find potential leads. Despite intensive efforts, the search has so far been unsuccessful.

A suspicion that weighs heavily

The husband of the missing woman, a 51-year-old man, is suspected and has been in custody since the investigation. The couple had been living apart for some time, which added fuel to the situation. After the first interrogations, a judge issued an arrest warrant on suspicion of manslaughter. The police are now hoping for information from witnesses who may have seen the suspect's car during the relevant period.

The results from the missing people's home are particularly frightening, which, according to the public prosecutor's office, indicate a violent act. The man has not yet commented on the situation, which further complicates the investigation. “There have been indications that bodies of water could play a role,” explained a police spokeswoman. During the first search at Lake Happurg, several dogs provided signs that further investigations were necessary in a certain area.

Ongoing investigations and further action

The current situation may require adjustments to search methods. The police plan to take further action if the diving operations do not produce results. “If this does not lead to a body being found, other measures will be taken in the next few days,” confirmed the police spokeswoman. These planned investigations could include a deeper examination of other bodies of water in the area to expand the search.

Diving operations continued this morning, October 9th, and close monitoring is underway to determine whether progress can be made in the targeted areas. The case has not only sparked widespread interest regionally, but also raises questions about women's safety and domestic conflicts, underscoring the emotional dimension of the incident. However, police remain focused and committed to finding potentially crucial clues and shedding light on this suspicious case.

Details on this ongoing investigation remain sparse, but the public is encouraged to share information that could help solve the case. The search for the 49-year-old has left an entire region in suspense and the authorities are doing everything they can to find her again.
