Background[]
Scarlett grew up with her older sister and her parents in Paderborn, Germany. She was active in animal protection, protested against whaling in Iceland, and was vegan, among other things.
After an apprenticeship in social security, she decided to catch up on her high school diploma. In the meantime she lived in Bad Lippspringe, Germany. She loved to travel and recorded her adventures on social media.
In November 2019, while traveling in Myanmar, she met a Chinese man with whom she had a relationship and traveled around Southeast Asia for four months. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they both cut their trip short, and Scarlett returned to Germany.
After this untimely return, Scarlett traveled in Germany and Europe, including walking the Camino de Santiago with her mother in July 2020.
Case[]
Scarlett was also very outgoing on her travels and learned about the Schluchtensteig in the Schwarzwald from fellow travelers. She wanted to go on this six-day, approximately 120-kilometer hiking tour alone.
Scarlett drove by car to Stühlingen, where the entrance to the tour through the Schluchtensteig is located, and set out on the first of six stages. Scarlett, who was carrying a conspicuous backpack, was seen by many other hikers. During her tour, Scarlett stayed in youth hostels and camped out for financial reasons. She always kept in touch with friends and family via her cell phone and reported on her further progress on the tour.
The last confirmed sighting of Scarlett is a photo from a supermarket in Todtmoos near St. Blasien, where she bought water around 10:10 a.m. She was then scheduled to begin the final leg of the hiking trip to Wehr, Germany. From a park, she made a final phone call to her boyfriend in China via video just before 11:00 a.m. What happened to Scarlett afterwards is unknown. However, investigators believe she was about to begin the trek's final leg.
After family and friends could not contact Scarlett, they reported her missing. Despite large-scale search efforts in the Schwarzwald, Scarlett remains missing.
