At first it was said that the child could have gone to relatives, but according to the police, that could be quickly ruled out.
Firefighters and a police rescue dog team were on duty Monday night, searching for the girl with thermal imaging cameras and in a rubber boat in nearby waters.
The search was stopped overnight and then continued on Tuesday. There: several riot police officers, officers from the Frankfurt Police Headquarters and the Hünfeld Federal Police. A drone with a thermal imaging camera was also used. The Fulda fire brigade and the DLRG were also back on duty to re-register the waters in Fuldaaue.
