Missing Lothar Demel: A mysterious case has been bothering Augsburg for 25 years

The upcoming ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY … unsolved” will focus on two mysterious missing cases on November 5th. Among the sad stories is the case of Lothar Demel, who has been missing for an incredible 25 years. The 37-year-old man disappeared on October 28, 2000 after a shooting competition in Traunstein. An eyewitness reports that Demel was a passenger in a friend's car and wanted to get out at Königsplatz in Augsburg. He was supposed to be picked up there the next morning, but he never showed up at the agreed meeting point. Interestingly, Lothar had his cell phone with him at the time, but it was not possible to locate it. This complicates the investigation as the police were unable to find any clues to his whereabouts.

The police are particularly targeting Demel's contacts between October 27 and 28, 2000. It is known that he had connections to the Augsburg discotheque “Rockfabrik”, but investigations at his usual places of residence in Augsburg and at his place of work in Heidenheim were unsuccessful. Therefore, a crime cannot be ruled out and the Ulm criminal police are still diligently investigating. In order to generate new clues, the case is discussed in detail in the ZDF program mentioned, which may attract fresh clue seekers. In this context, it is noteworthy that other unsolved cases are also presented.

Unsolved criminal cases from Baden-Württemberg

In addition to the case of Lothar Demel, the same program on November 5th will also cover a shocking case from Baden-Württemberg that moves people's minds. In the Lörrach district, more precisely in Maulburg, a baby's body was discovered by a walker on October 10th. The baby, who was found in a blue trash bag near a playground, was wrapped in foam wrap and several other bags. The Lörrach criminal police have started investigations to clarify the dramatic incident. Such incidents are a serious blow to the city and the surrounding area and raise many questions.

With the combination of these two tragic cases, attention will once again be drawn to the topic of missing persons cases and unsolved crime on Tuesday evening. It remains to be hoped that the broadcast of “Aktenzeichen XY” can provide new clues and perhaps even a solution to the two difficult mysteries. The investigators and relatives hope for help from the public, because every tip could be crucial. Take the opportunity to watch on television and you may be the key to clearing up one of these dark chapters.
