Major concern: 88-year-old missing all night in the freezing cold

Date:

Hopefully this story ends well, it will probably take a small miracle. An 88-year-old senior citizen from Leonding has been missing for many hours, more than the entire night of Tuesday. The search had to be stopped.

On Tuesday night, a large search team of seven fire brigades, as well as sniffer dog teams from the Red Cross and the rescue dog brigade and the police, was formed in Leonding.

An 88-year-old demented man from Leonding didn’t come home from a walk in the afternoon and didn’t show up again until the evening. At night, with snowfall and temperatures down to minus four degrees, which felt much colder due to the wind, the helpers were on the road for many hours.

The rescue operation had to be called off around half past twelve in the morning because every conceivable path and “corner” in the area had been searched. Whether and when the search will continue today, Tuesday, must first be decided. The helpers hope that the pensioner has found shelter somewhere and protection from the cold, otherwise there is great concern that he will not have survived the night outside.
