Riddery case: Baby from Clinic Favorites disappeared without a trace

In a worrying incident, a one -week baby has disappeared in the Favorite Clinic in Vienna. The mother was alerted on Thursday when she noticed that her newborn was no longer in the room in which she had briefly withdrawn. A nursing staff had noticed the child's absence and informed the mother, who then informed the police. This reacted immediately and used a large contingent to secure the hospital site and look for the baby.

The search not only extended to the hospital itself, but also included checking exit vehicles. Despite these massive efforts, the newborn initially remained unobtrusive. The police interrupted the search at night, but will continue the investigation on Friday. The responsibility in the case is now at the State Criminal Police Office, as the police confirmed to the APA.

unclear circumstances and support for the family

The background of the disappearance is still unclear. So far there has been no stab -resistant indication that the child was kidnapped, even if this cannot be completely excluded. According to a written statement by the Vienna Health Association, there is “no open access” to the neonatology station, which makes the possibility of kidnapping more complicated. Visitors need access authorization to receive access and all doors are blocked.

The parents concerned were looked after by the hospital psychologists in the early afternoon, while the police also interviewed relatives. While some media reports about an alleged hint of a sniffer dog reported on a dung bucket, this information has not been confirmed by the police.

The tense developments around this case are of great importance, both for the safety of the patients in the clinic and for the trust of the public in the safety of medical institutions. The authorities and the hospital staff are under pressure to provide answers and to clarify the situation as quickly as possible. The police have assured that everything is in their power to find the missing baby and will continue the investigation with high pressure. More information about this incident are available here . .
