german couple missing in Bayahibe

Unfortunately I could not find an english article about that yet but since the end of may a german couple is missing. They were on vacation in Be Live, Bayahibe. When they missed their flight home the police was informed and found most the personal belongings (money, passports)
in the couples room. Apparently they went hiking in the national park. Hope they will be found but I am not very optimistic..

Strange Disappearance

This is very disturbing news.

I have not seen anything related in the Dominican newspapers.
Hopefully the German embassy is aware of this and in contact with the PN at Bayahibe.

Very strange...

I would think, that dates, names, ages and German address are known.

Julia, can you link to the article? Not important if it's not English.

Is there ANY possibility this could be connected to the story dv8 posted about the German found in La Romana?

Very unlikely.

Peter Lorenz was a long time resident and owner of a diving and excursion business in Punta Cana.

The missing couple is said to be tourists.

Different dates, too.

here, in german: Bislang fehlt jede Spur: Drama in der Karibik: Deutsches Ehepaar seit f?nf Wochen vermisst - Aus aller Welt - FOCUS Online - Nachrichten
Bad Nenndorfer Ehepaar verschollen in der Karibik / ?bersicht / Der Norden / Nachrichten - HAZ - Hannoversche Allgemeine
Dominikanische Republik - Nieders?chsisches Ehepaar in der Karibik verschollen - Niedersachsen - News und Hintergr?nde - Hamburger Abendblatt

i believe none of the articles gives full name of the couple as far as i can make out?

They went backpacking on their own into a National Park near Bayahibe. My guess is Parque Nacional del Este...

Correct.
Only their first names, ages (and the abbreviated family name) are given:
Christiane (56) and Reiner K. (66).

The reports differ when it comes to the date the police was informed about the disappearance, it could have been much too late for a successful search.
The couple had stayed at the hotel 3 times before.

But their intention to explore the hinterland on foot most likely was a bad decision....

I guess its better to get lost in the Dominican Republic as you might find rivers or banana trees etc to stay alive but 5 weeks...

Was featured today on frontpage of n-tv.de (local cnn.com site).

So remove duplicate post then.
But this post has a good picture of the couple.
Did not see a picture of them in the other reports.

Not deleting anything, I merged the two threads. Thanks for the update Alexander, photos can't hurt and might help.

there was no photos nor even a full name before so your post was useful, as AE said. but it is better if it is in one thread.

" However is also conceivable that the couple has decided to "get out" and is staying at an undisclosed location in the Caribbean island.". I can't imagine this statement being made unless there was a possible reason for the couple to self disappear.
