Puzzle about disappeared newborn in the Favorite Clinic

Puzzle about disappeared newborn in the Favorite Clinic

A shocking incident occurred on Thursday in the Favorites Clinic in Vienna: a baby has disappeared. The police's alarmed emergency services have already mobilized an extensive search team to look for the newborn. However, the operation was unsuccessful until late in the evening, and the search was temporarily stopped due to the dark. It was announced that the investigations will continue on Friday, while the management of the case is now at the State Criminal Police Office.

The incident came to light when a mother came back to her room on the neonatology station and found that she was no longer in the room for a week old. Previously, an attentive nurse had already noticed that the baby was not there and informed the mother, who had briefly removed from the room. The police were immediately informed, who immediately secured and searched the entire hospital area. The exit cars were also checked to obtain information on the whereabouts of the newborn.

health network reacts to the incident

The Vienna Health Association (Wigev) made it clear in a statement that there are strict access controls to the neonatology station. Visitors have to ring at a intercom and only people with proven access authorization are allowed to pass the doors. The WigEV emphasized this in order to dispel any concerns about access to the sensitive station.

Before that, the police had stated that there are currently no valid indications that indicate the baby's kidnapping. Nevertheless, this option cannot be completely excluded. At the moment, the parents are looked after by the hospital's team, while relatives are interviewed in order to possibly receive more information. The ambiguities of how the child could disappear from the room ensure great concern for both the relatives and the staff of the hospital.

reports on a potential trace circulated in the media, with a dung bucket, which, however, were not confirmed by the police. The circumstances of the disappearance therefore remain a mystery and the investigation is in full swing. The police are determined to do everything possible within the scope of their possibilities to bring the baby back safely. Further information can be found here.
