A girl who had been missing since Sunday evening was found dead in a river in Bingen, southern Germany. The police in Ravensburg (Baden-Württemberg) confirmed this upon request. The two-year-old has been identified.
The girl’s body was discovered by a diver on Tuesday morning shortly before the entrance to the town of Hitzkofen, a suburb of Bingen. Rescuers have been searching the area for the missing two-year-old since Sunday.
The search for the girl in Bingen in the Sigmaringen district continued on Tuesday with ten divers. The water police experts searched for the child in the icy Lauchert River. According to a police spokeswoman, the divers came from police headquarters. The DLRG was also involved in the search with a boat and sonar equipment.
The sonar searches and dives started early in the morning from the Bingen district of Hitzkofen downstream. Emergency services from the DLRG and the police also walked down the bank and searched the bushes along the riverbank.
Rescuers and police have been searching for the child in the town near the Swabian Alb since his disappearance. Police sniffer dogs picked up a trail of the girl leading to the river on Monday. The family house is very close to the river.
Divers had already searched for the little one along the Lauchert on Sunday – without success. Divers were also in the water at a weir. The weir is located between Bingen and Sigmaringendorf, where the Lauchert flows into the Danube.
The two-year-old girl had probably left her parents’ house in her pajamas late on Sunday afternoon. Officials currently believe it was an accident. (sda/dpa)
