Shock in Filderstadt: suitcase with body discovered by the stream!

On the outskirts of Filderstadt, in the Esslingen district, a macabre discovery is causing a stir: a badly decomposed woman's body was discovered in a suitcase. During their work, employees at a construction yard came across the suitcase in a stream, not far from a residential area and near a playground. The discovery took place under the bridge, where local residents had already noticed a sweet, acrid smell star reported.

The body was immediately taken for an autopsy where it was determined that it was a woman. However, further details about her identity, age and circumstances of death are still unclear. The autopsy also confirmed that it had probably been in the suitcase for a long time. In the special commission with 44 members, which works under the name “Trolley”, the police urgently need information from the public. The first witnesses have already come forward, but to date there are no known missing person cases that could be related to the gruesome find Daily Mirror noted.

Investigations in full swing

The investigative authorities have already initiated several measures to shed light on the matter. Experts from the State Criminal Police Office are active at the crime scene, questioning residents and walkers in order to clarify any abnormalities in the past few weeks. A drone is also used to scan the surrounding area from the air. “We are urgently looking for witnesses who may have observed something suspicious,” said a police spokesman.

The police have also considered psychological support for the construction yard employees who were confronted with the shocking discovery. Such a threatening scenario is not new; Similar cases of “suitcase corpses” have already happened in the past, for example in Vienna and Berlin, which shows that this is a recurring problem. In 2014, two people in Stuttgart were convicted of murdering a woman whose body was also discovered in a suitcase, according to further reports Daily Mirror note.

Cold cases and the importance of the database

The investigation of such cases is often supported by the exchange of information between different police departments. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the police have started working on cold cases. The aim is to systematically record and process unsolved homicides between 1970 and 2015 so as not to lose valuable information and possible connections. Detective Director Colin B. Rinderz emphasizes the importance of this cold case database, which has existed since 2017 and is continually updated to provide future investigators with quick access to relevant cases, according to reports Police NRW.

With so many unanswered questions, we can only hope that the “Trolley” special commission will soon receive the crucial information to clarify the identity of the unknown woman and investigate her death. The investigation remains exciting and the public is paying attention.
