Nuremberg (dpa / lby) – A pregnant woman has been missing in Nuremberg for days. Since the 39-year-old disappeared without a trace, investigators are also considering a violent crime as the cause, a police spokesman said on Wednesday. There is no information about the whereabouts of the woman.

Her partner reported the eight-month-pregnant woman missing last Friday. A search with sniffer dogs at the couple’s place of residence and a query at clinics about a possible accident were unsuccessful, it said. The woman was last seen on Friday morning in the Katzwang district of Nuremberg.
