The disappearance of Inga Gehricke, who vanished over a decade ago, is being brought to national attention through a German television program. Police are renewing their appeal for information regarding the case, which will be featured on ZDF's "Aktenzeichen XY ... ungelöst" next Wednesday.

Inga was last seen on May 2, 2015, at the Wilhelmshof, a facility run by the Diakonie for individuals with disabilities and addiction issues. She was with her family and two friends' families when she disappeared near the barbecue area around 6:40 p.m. Extensive searches have been conducted since her disappearance, but her whereabouts and what happened to her remain unknown.
