Several cases every day
84 people are considered missing in Upper Austria
It is hours of uncertainty when a loved one suddenly seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Every day, the police receive several reports of missing persons. In many cases, it is minors who are reported missing.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen In Upper Austria alone, there have already been 2100 this year - that's around six missing persons every day. "Around 1800 involved minors. Of these cases from 2024, 28 are currently unsolved, 19 of which concern minors," says the Federal Criminal Police Office in response to a Krone inquiry.
High clearance rate
Compared to previous years, when there were always between 1,500 and 1,700 reports in our province, the number has risen slightly this year. "But not to an unusual extent. In particular because the clearance rates for 2024 and 2023 are pleasingly high at around 98.7 percent and 99.8 percent respectively," says the Federal Criminal Police Office.
No sign of senior citizens
Nevertheless, 84 people, including 28 minors, are currently missing in Upper Austria - they will not be home for Christmas. The most recent case is that of a dementia patient (76) who disappeared from the Kepler Clinic on Thursday evening. Since then, family, friends and emergency services have been searching for the man - so far without success.
