In the heart of East Westphalia, a 13-year-old girl named Isi from Rietberg has mysteriously gone missing since Tuesday. The local authorities in Gütersloh district are now leading a public search, as Isi could potentially be traversing the country with her train pass. The cops hinted at Braunschweig as a potential location, but withheld further details. They even circulated a picture of Isi on the North Rhine-Westphalia State Criminal Police Office's statewide wanted board, urging the public to share any potential leads.
The girl's family is in a state of emergency, pleading for widespread sharing of Isi's picture. They believe every piece of information could be crucial in locating her. If she finds herself in need of help, she might dial the emergency number 112, given her unfamiliarity with the Braunschweig area.

The police operation to find Isi is part of a broader investigation. Reports of self-proclaimed "pedo-hunters" engaging in criminal activities have surfaced in the Harz region, with the incidents occurring in September 2024. The perpetrators created fake social media profiles, luring two men in their 50s from North Rhine-Westphalia under the pretense of meeting underage girls. The investigation uncovered a group of 12 individuals, primarily minors from affluent families, who could face charges ranging from aggravated assault and robbery to attempted manslaughter due to the victims' serious injuries.
Authorities confiscated several items, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, illegal fireworks, marijuana, balaclavas, camouflage clothing, and boots believed to have been used during attacks. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities meticulously analyzing evidence and ensuring due process, particularly for young suspects.
The lack of information regarding Isi's whereabouts is causing concern among the authorities and her family. As the search continues, the police urge anyone with any information to come forward.
