Karlstadt (dpa / lby) - After a violent crime against a 13-year-old more than 27 years ago in Lower Franconia, the police are again asking for the help of the residents.

Individual citizens are apparently still withheld important information that they have not yet disclosed to the officials for personal reasons or other obstacles, the police said on Wednesday.

«Possibly also because their knowledge does not seem" important "or" helpful "enough."

However, every single piece of the puzzle is valuable for the investigators.

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 several perpetrators are possible.

In mid-February, 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 residents.

The targeted police action in search of the student's murderer and an established witness phone would have brought several clues.

In January, a 44-year-old from the Main-Spessart district was arrested.

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 in the focus of the investigators.
