Inga Gehricke: The Girl Who Vanished in the German Woods

On May 2nd, 2015, five-year-old Inga Gehricke disappeared from a family barbecue in the remote German countryside. More than 1,000 people searched the forest. Helicopters scanned 8,600 acres. Search dogs tracked for days. They didn’t find a single trace. Nearly a decade later, investigators still have no physical evidence. So what happened to Inga? Was she abducted by a stranger? Targeted by a known predator? Or taken by someone she trusted? In this episode of Clues, we break down the seven key clues in one of Germany’s most haunting unsolved disappearances, and the investigative missteps that may have cost precious time. Listener discretion advised. This episode discusses child abduction, child sexual abuse material, and serious mental illness.
