Two missing persons are being feverishly searched for in Lower Austria. In the district of Neunkirchen, a 13-year-old girl has disappeared without a trace, while in the district of Gänserndorf a man suffering from dementia has not returned.

On Monday at around 5 pm, Martina J. left her parents' house in Grafenbach-St. Valentin in the district of Neunkirchen on foot, and since then there has been no trace of the 13-year-old. There are no indications of where she was staying. The slim, 1.60 meter tall girl was dressed in a gray jogging suit and white sneakers and has long, dark brown hair.

The pensioner is about 1.72 meters tall, has brown eyes, grey-white hair and was last seen wearing black trousers, a dark vest and a blue cap.
