Thiruvananthapuram: A global alert to help locate an unsound German national, who went missing after arriving in the Kerala capital in March, has been issued by the Interpol. The global police agency, Interpol, has issued a yellow notice on the request of Indian authorities. Lisa Wiese (31) was reported missing after arriving at the Thiruvananthapuram international airport on March 7.
(Yellow notice is issued to trace missing people at an international level.)
Earlier, the Kerala Police had sought the help of the Interpol to trace the woman. The state police are also looking into the possibility of Lisa sneaking out through ‘unconventional’ methods. The police have confirmed that Lisa has not flown out of India after checking the travel details at various airports.
Though the public has been calling the cops to tell that they saw the missing woman, they said ‘highly reliable’ information was yet to come through.
Kerala Police had issued a lookout notice recently.
The ongoing probe found that Lisa had sent a mail to her mother Cathri on her religious conversion. Investigators are trying to ascertain the more details on its contents.
It was earlier reported that Lisa likely had contacts with radical Islamic outfits after her adopting Islam. She had arrived in India along with a UK citizen named Muhammed Ali.
Ali had gone out of the country through the Kochi airport, probe confirmed.
Lisa's sister Carolyn had said that Lisa was mentally distraught and had reached India, seeking peace. Lisa had informed her sister about her trip to India along with the British citizen.
Earlier, the German Consulate in India had filed a missing complaint with the State Police Chief. The police were trying to get the statements of Lisa’s parents through video conferencing.
Lisa had spoken to her family on March 5 and March 10. She had made a video call to her children in the US on March 5 and informed them that she was travelling to Kerala and she would call them after three weeks. However, since then there has been no information about Lisa.
As the German consulate has intervened in the issue, the Kerala DGP has instructed the police officers to consider the case an international issue. However, the Kerala cops could only ascertain that she reached Thiruvananthapuram on March 7. So far they have not secured any other conclusive information.
She had visited Kerala earlier also and had stayed at Amritapuri Ashram in Kollam for two months in 2011.
