Karlstadt (dpa / lby) - After a targeted police action in search of the murderer of a 13-year-old more than 27 years ago in Lower Franconia, the investigators are now following up numerous clues.

For tactical investigative reasons, a police spokesman did not want to reveal any details on Thursday.

"There was really a lot of evidence," he said.

It is not yet foreseeable whether there could be a hot lead among them.

On Wednesday, numerous police officers in districts of Karlstadt and Lohr am Main (both in the Main-Spessart district) distributed flyers about the unsolved crime and questioned local residents.

The feedback on the hour-long campaign was extremely positive, said the spokesman.

The girl disappeared just before Christmas 1993.

It was last seen in the Wiesenfeld district of Karlstadt, which has around 1100 inhabitants.

There, investigators found the 13-year-old's body in a manure pit after a few days at an emigrant farm.

According to the prosecutor, both a single perpetrator and multiple perpetrators are possible.

A 44-year-old from the Main-Spessart district was arrested in January.

He was arrested on suspicion of murder.

The man is suspected of having killed the girl when she was 17 at the time.

Another man from the region is also being investigated.
