  "account": "Berlin, November 7th, 2026 – The Berlin Police Department and the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office are on the hunt for Lisa Ta, a 13-year-old girl who vanished on Monday morning. Lisa embarked on her journey to school, heading from Barnimplatz to her educational institution in Sella-Hasse-Strasse in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district, using public transportation. The approximately 14-minute ride remains uncompleted.\n\nInitial assumption among investigators is that Lisa didn't vanish on her own accord. As such, a comprehensive search operation has been launched. Police deployed search dogs on Monday and employed a helicopter over Berlin's eastern part on Friday to widen the search area. Meanwhile, the State Office of Criminal Investigation's homicide division is now part of the case.\n\nCurrently believed to be around 160 to 165 centimeters tall and slender, Lisa possesses dark, long hair. She was last seen wearing a black jacket with a hood, blue jeans, beige and white sneakers, and a black backpack. Berlin’s Fifth Homicide Division seeks anyone with information about Lisa's whereabouts, requesting details on whether anyone has seen her since Monday or if she had contact with anyone.\n\nInquiries can be made through phone (030) 4664-911555, email (LKA115-Hinweise@polizei.berlin.de), or in person at Keithstrasse 30 in Berlin’s Tiergarten borough. Alternatively, any local police station can be contacted. Note that missing individuals often resurface after a few days, but as of now, Lisa Ta has not.",
