In Rennertshofen, Bavaria, the search is on for retired teacher Helmut Strigl, who has been missing for several years. The police, with the assistance of the TV show “Case number XY… Unsolved,” are trying to locate the man who was last seen in June 2018. His cousin reported him missing in November 2021, prompting an investigation into his disappearance.
Helmut Strigl was a teacher at middle schools in the Neuburg an der Donau area until his retirement in early 2018. Following his retirement, he vanished without a trace. Investigators discovered that his retirement payments continued to be made into his account for years, but were then transferred to other accounts, with forged signatures on the transfer orders. The police suspect foul play in Strigl’s disappearance and believe he may have been a victim of a crime.
One individual who worked for Strigl has already been convicted of forgery and is currently serving a prison sentence. This person had been a driver for Strigl after the teacher lost his license in 2011 due to drunk driving incidents. The police suspect that Strigl may no longer be alive, with his body possibly located shortly after he was last seen in 2018.
The investigation is now focused on three key questions: who may have seen Strigl after mid-June 2018, who may have come across his BMW 318i sedan with license plate ND-HA 36 between June 2018 and June 2019, and who might have seen his trailer with license plate ND-G 673 after June 2018. A reward of €3000 has been offered for any information that may lead to finding Strigl. Any tips or information can be reported to the Ingolstadt police at [insert contact number].
