Possible psychological emergency
According to police reports, witnesses last had contact with the Weimar resident last Saturday, February 28. She was officially reported missing the following Monday. Investigators cannot currently rule out that Frau Schiller is in a state of psychological distress. It is possible that she appears disoriented to passers-by or is in a helpless situation.
Search focuses on the Ilmpark
Current police investigations indicate that the 56-year-old was last in the Park an der Ilm (Ilmpark) in Weimar. Accordingly, emergency services are currently focusing their search efforts on this area. The police do not have any information regarding the missing person’s current clothing at this time.
Background: Jurisdiction and missing person searches
The Jena State Police Inspectorate (LPI) is responsible for the city of Jena as well as the independent city of Weimar and the district of Weimarer Land. For this reason, the department also coordinates regional searches within this catchment area. In cases of missing persons where a danger to life and limb – for example, due to psychological emergencies or weather conditions – cannot be ruled out, the police immediately initiate intensive search measures. In extensive areas such as the over 40-hectare Weimarer Ilmpark, man-trailing dogs, drones with thermal imaging cameras, or police helicopters are frequently deployed.
