Vermisste Sandra Benndorf: Search Intensifies for Missing Mother
The frantic search for missing mother Sandra K. (36) from Benndorf continues, with police deploying drones and appealing for information on the TV show "Kripo Live" this Sunday, April 27th at 7:50 PM. Sandra vanished on Easter Monday, April 21st, 2025, leaving her home with her French Bulldog, Tinka. Her disappearance has left her family and community deeply worried.
A Mother's Disappearance
Last seen around 4 PM on April 21st, Sandra's absence is unlike her, according to friends and family. Her sister, Lisa T., issued a heartbreaking plea on Facebook: "Please Sandra, come home. We miss you so much." The police, too, are baffled. Police spokesperson Steffi Schwan described the case as "very unusual," emphasizing the unlikelihood of Sandra's actions matching her normal behavior.
Extensive Search Efforts
The search has spanned several days, involving extensive searches in Benndorf, Helbra, and Hettstedt. Police have utilized a thermal imaging drone and a Mantrailer dog, but so far, no significant breakthroughs have been reported. Hospitals have been checked, and despite these efforts, Sandra remains missing. Adding to the mystery, investigators are exploring the possibility that Sandra purchased a new SIM card shortly before her disappearance, suggesting premeditation.
A Potential Leipzig Connection
A new lead has emerged: witnesses reported seeing Sandra near the Höfe am Brühl area in Leipzig. This has prompted her separated husband, Thomas K., to appeal for help in the Leipzig area, urging local organizations and security services to be vigilant. This development significantly expands the search area and raises more questions about Sandra’s whereabouts.
Community Support and a TV Appeal
The community is rallying around Sandra's family, who are desperately hoping for her safe return. Friends emphasize that Sandra is a devoted mother who would never willingly abandon her children or her dog. The "Kripo Live" TV segment aims to generate new leads, encouraging anyone with information to contact the police at 03475 670 293.
Hope Remains
The case highlights the devastating impact of a missing person on family and friends. The police and the community remain committed to finding Sandra, and hope that the TV appeal and continued investigation will bring her home safely. Any information, no matter how small, could be crucial.
