Eerie encounter: Witness reports of disco murders in Cuxhaven

Cuxhaven, Deutschland - A dark story from the 70s and 80s is illuminated again: Between 1977 and 1986, six young women disappeared without a trace in the Cuxhaven and Bremerhaven area, a case that is still known as a "disco murders". Despite intensive investigations, women's corpses were never found. The name Kurt-Werner Wichmann, a cemetery gardener who is related to other murder cases remains suspicious. He committed suicide in 1993, while he was already looking for other offenses. Traces from the disco murders showed female DNA profiles, but no matches with the missing girls.

Another worrying turn brought a witness in a current ARD documentary, who reported an uncanny encounter in the 70s. After visiting a disco, she and her friend had entered a car with two men. A depressing silence and the feeling of impending danger came over when the car did not drive in the right direction and continued on a forest path. Despite the return to the unexplained cases, the police finally stopped the cold case investigation at the end of 2022, but the memory of the mysterious missing persons remained alive and raises questions.
