Mysterious skeleton discovery in the forest: Police are investigating in Upper Palatinate!
A shocking discovery caused a stir near Furth im Wald (Cham district) on October 16th. A walker came across human remains in a forest near Drachensee. The man immediately informed the police, who secured the area at 3:30 p.m. that afternoon and initiated extensive forensic measures. The Regensburg criminal police took over the investigation and was involved in the case from the beginning, as forensic medicine carried out an autopsy of the remains. Details about the identity or gender of the person found are not yet known, and the cause of death remains unclear, reports star.
The investigation is already in full swing. The DNA of the remains found is compared with police data both in Germany and internationally in order to establish possible connections to missing people. This could represent a decisive step in solving the case and gives hope for a meticulous approach by the investigators. A comparison with national and international missing person cases has also been carried out, such as Nuremberg News report.
Current crime situation in Germany
Despite the partly positive developments in crime statistics, the highest crime figures can still be expected, particularly in the more populous federal states such as North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria. The percentage for crimes against life, such as murder and manslaughter, accounts for only 0.1% of cases. This illustrates how rare such serious incidents are, but this discovery in the Upper Palatinate is once again leading to an exchange about safety in our forests.
