Large-scale search with drones, boats and dogs on Sunday evening in the Tyrolean Erl: a woman missed her 81-year-old husband after he did not return from a walk. The man ended up in a hospital.
Shortly before 8 p.m., the German’s wife reported to the police in Niederndorf. “She stated that her husband left their shared apartment in Erl for a walk around 4 p.m. and had not returned since,” investigators said. Because the abductee was wearing only jeans, shirt and vest at an outside temperature of eight degrees, a large-scale search was immediately launched with sniffer dogs, drones, boats and countless vehicles.
Suffered a mild concussion
After extensive searches and investigations, the signal was given around 9:30 p.m. The 81-year-old was taken to Kufstein Hospital after passers-by found him with an abrasion to his right forehead on the Inndamm in Flintsbach, Germany, around 6:15 p.m. The man had apparently fallen. “According to medical information, the man probably suffered a mild concussion,” the director said.
Dozens of helpers in the search
Seven officers from the Niederndorf, Kufstein and Kössen police stations were present, a service dog patrol, the police drone with two officers from the Steinach-Wipptal police station, the Erl volunteer fire brigade with 32 men and four vehicles, the district fire brigade association with eight men, two vehicles and two drones, the Kufstein water rescue service with 13 men, a boat and three vehicles and the Oberaudorf volunteer fire brigade from Germany with 16 men and three vehicles.
