There is great concern for her.

I would like to gently say to her, if you're out there and maybe going through extreme stress and feeling like things aren't going well, please contact your family again somehow, and let them know you're okay. Or go to any police station, and they can give you resources and let your family know.

I'm just a parent who remembers how very difficult college can be and who can imagine your overwhelm and your parents' deep fears right now. And I promise you they just want to know you're okay. No matter what is going on with college or anything else, everyone will understand. They just want to know you're safe.

An issue with the search seems to be the laws in Germany around CCTV cameras, you can't have Ring cameras able to capture neighbors leaving their apartments, people walking past etc due to the privacy laws here.

So many people are worried about her, her parents held a vigil outside the Mexican Embassy in Berlin this afternoon, I pray she's ok.
