The disappearance of a 39-year-old pregnant woman is a mystery to the police in Nuremberg. Meanwhile, the investigators have a bad suspicion.
The police in Nuremberg have been looking for 39-year-old Alexandra R for more than a week. The officials now assume that the woman, who is eight months pregnant, has fallen victim to a crime.
Special commission determined in Nuremberg because of missing persons
According to the information, R. was seen on Friday morning (December 9) in the Katzwang district in the south of the Franconian city when she brought her two-year-old foster daughter to the daycare center. In the evening, her partner reported her missing, and just one day later the police took over the missing person case – unusual for people who have disappeared of age. But even then, the investigators suspected that the woman could have had an accident or committed a crime.
These indications have now apparently condensed. “Since the items left at the place of residence include cash and ID as well as the mother’s passport of the heavily pregnant woman, the officials now assume that Alexandra R. did not plan to leave the center of her life or did not leave voluntarily,” said a spokesman for the police headquarters in Central Franconia week after the disappearance.
Police release photo and description of Alexandra R.
A 24-strong special commission is now investigating the case. The police are not revealing exactly what clues they have to a crime. The officials are still hoping to find the missing person alive despite a possible crime and are asking the population for help in the search.
They ask:
- Who has seen Alexandra R. since last Friday?
- Who can provide information on the current or last whereabouts of the missing persons?
Alexandra R. is about 1.65 meters tall, has brown eyes and half-length, dark blonde hair with a side parting. She last wore blue jeans, a black winter jacket and a light-colored scarf and black sports shoes with white soles.

In the search for Alexandra R., the police also used sniffer dogs at the place of residence – without success. Cell phone tracking did not help the special commission either, nor did inquiries in hospitals in the area.
The permanent criminal service takes information about the case on the telephone number (0911) 21123333 or any other police station – also under the emergency number 110.
