Her family did everything they could to try to find her. What a tragic case. In this article from 2016, her mother was 95-years-old.

"The mother and stepfather search Nuremberg, Sunday after Sunday. Nothing. A retired police officer friend has been helping with private investigations for a long time. Vain. “I won’t survive this,” she kept thinking..."

"Generations of detectives have been investigating again and again since 1966. The last time was about two years ago due to specific suspicions against a man who had been sentenced to life in prison for murder. A car of the same type that he was driving in connection with the murder was seen at the train station in Mertingen. But so far nothing can be proven..."
