On 11 January Lisa F. (name shortened in accordance with German privacy law), a 13-year-old Russian-German girl with dual citizenship from Berlin-Marzahn, disappeared on her way to school.[1][2] Her parents reported her missing to the police. The following day she returned after 30 hours and told her parents that she had been abducted by three unknown men of "southern" or "Arab" origin, who did not speak German well.[4] Furthermore, she initially told the police that she had been beaten and raped. Her phone record however indicated that she had stayed at her older friend Ismet S., which hinted the German police that the rest of the story was a false statement.[4]
