79-year-old disappeared in Lake Staffelsee – search continues!
On Sunday, June 23, 2025, a 79-year-old man from Munich disappeared during a trip to Lake Staffelsee. The senior fell from a pedal boat into the water and has been missing ever since. The initial search efforts on Monday were unsuccessful, which is why the police are now making further efforts to find the missing man. According to Radio Oberland, the police authority is planning to locate the missing person today using an “underwater scan”. The investigators assume an accident.
The search for the 79-year-old brings together the emergency services in the region around Staffelsee. Authorities say it is important to pursue every available search approach to save the missing man's life. This is a particular concern for the police as such cases can often progress very quickly and unpredictably.
Continuation of the search efforts
The emergency services have concentrated on searching for further clues. It could be possible that witnesses observed the situation. As the search operation continues today, police are also focusing on the aquatic areas where the man is missing. The underwater scan could provide crucial information that leads to finding the missing person. In addition, the further circumstances of the accident are still unclear.
Police also deployed a police helicopter to support search efforts on Monday. In addition to aerial surveillance, water police are regularly dispatched to the search area. This shows how serious the situation is perceived and how much effort is being put into restoring security.
Background and appeal
The last few days have been extremely stressful for the relatives of the missing person. The uncertainty about the whereabouts of the 79-year-old is a great concern for family and friends. It is a typical example of how closely personal happiness is linked to the safety and health of loved ones. In such a case, numerous questions remain unanswered that not only affect the family circle, but also the visitors to the popular holiday resort of Staffelsee.
In addition to the current investigation, authorities also have to deal with numerous other missing people in the area, as outlined on the NRW Police. It is clear at this point that locating missing persons in both urban and rural areas is a challenge and any helping hand would be welcome.
