Overview
- Medical examiners reported multiple wounds on the 28-year-old after completing the autopsy, but they could not identify a definitive cause of death.
- Police said the woman was found in a freezer in her Bielefeld apartment after her brother alerted authorities, and a homicide unit is leading the case.
- Investigators explained that storage in a freezer can change how wounds look and preserve or distort traces, which makes a clear reading harder.
- Because the body had to be thawed slowly to protect evidence, the forensic exam was delayed, and further scientific analyses are now underway.
- Authorities have not identified a suspect and, after few responses to an earlier appeal, are again asking friends and acquaintances to share any information about the victim’s recent contacts.
