Skeleton in the forest: Missing Edwin J. identified from Geislingen

In a tragic turn, the missing person report for 90-year-old Edwin J. from Geislingen an der Steige ended after almost half a year. The old man had disappeared since September 7, 2024, but on February 26, 2025, parts of a skeleton were discovered in a forest area between Geislingen and Türkheim.

The police quickly confirmed that these skeletal parts could clearly be assigned to Edwin J. thanks to a DNA analysis. The case that the region had been in suspense for months has now received a sad clarity. The media are now urgently asked to immediately remove all the published search views and pictures of the missing person from the reports.
