Büchenbeuren / Koblenz (dpa) - After finding the remains of a woman from North Rhine-Westphalia who was missing six years ago, the police assume a violent crime.
The officials are now hoping for clues from the population, as a police spokesman said on Tuesday.
Forensic investigations were also carried out to obtain clues about a possible perpetrator.
Birgit A., who comes from Lohmar (Rhein-Sieg district), left her place of work at Hahn Airport on Holy Saturday 2015, but never got home.
In November 2020, a mushroom picker found the woman's remains in a forest near Büchenbeuren in Rhineland-Palatinate.
At first it was unclear whether the woman had been a victim of a felony or had a fatal accident.
As the police announced, profilers from North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate have reconstructed the crime and revealed new investigative approaches, so that the police assume a violent crime.
The police are now trying to get information about the perpetrator.
The partly well-preserved clothing and other items from the victim's possession and also items allegedly from the perpetrator give cause for hope, it said in a message.

The police have set up a hotline for confidential information.
The public prosecutor in Bad Kreuznach offered a reward of 5,000 euros for information that led to the investigation of the crime and the investigation of the perpetrator.
