The girl had walked home on Saturday after visiting a friend. She never got there. German media reported that the parents first went looking for their child themselves before calling the police. The shortest way to it is through a piece of forest in Freudenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia. Police officers searched this on Sunday. The large-scale search began Saturday.
