Murder case from Viersen: Missing Boris C. lived in France for 30 years!
A case that has stirred emotions for over 30 years has now taken an astonishing turn: Boris C., a Croatian citizen from Viersen who disappeared without a trace in 1994, is still alive. This shocking news is causing a stir not only in Viersen, but also in Cologne and the surrounding area. The necessary revelations came to light when modern forensic methods shed new light on the investigations.
On September 13, 1994, the police were faced with a shocking fact: Boris C.'s car was found in Düsseldorf with traces of blood. At that time it was assumed that the crime was a homicide and a murder squad was set up. The investigation was finally stopped in 1997 when Boris C. was declared dead at the request of his family. But the story came to an unexpected end when police and prosecutors discovered in 2024 that the man believed dead was still alive. t-online.de reports the surprising details that led to his discovery.
A masterpiece of staging
Solving the cold case is not only a relief for the family members, but also for the authorities. Boris C. deliberately staged his disappearance. He used self-inflicted injuries to make it appear that he had been the victim of a crime. The reason for this drastic measure was personal debts and reprisals against him and his family. Instead of taking responsibility, he decided to disappear and start a new life in France.
The new investigations in recent years have led to the realization that the blood in the car actually came from Boris C. This was confirmed by modern forensic investigations, which were supplemented by international authority research. A Report from the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger highlights how these new methods ultimately made it possible to resolve the cold case.
What is left behind?
The surprising turn of events raises many questions: How could Boris C. live undetected for so long? What will now become of the survivors who have fought for the truth for years? While the official investigations have been completed, the issue of cold cases, i.e. unsolved murders and long-term missing people, remains a hot topic. The investigation of such cases not only highlights the need for ongoing investigations, but also the possibilities that modern technology offers. Spiegel.de has documented several such spectacular cases, which show how persevering investigators continue to shed light on the darkness.
Boris C. has left his family and catapulted himself into a new life - the questions about his motive and the human tragedy remain. One thing is certain, however: the truth always has a way, even if it sometimes remains hidden for decades.
