Overview
- City officials said they have no indications that Iris Stalzer will forgo the role, with her term scheduled to begin on 1 November.
- Stalzer was seriously wounded in a life-threatening knife attack in early October, and her 17-year-old adoptive daughter is under urgent suspicion.
- The public prosecutor has classified the case as dangerous bodily harm and has withheld further details.
- Youth authorities removed both adoptive children from the family, and the teenage suspect was placed in a youth psychiatric clinic.
- Reporting has cited more than 20 prior police reports tied to the family that are now being examined by state agencies, and First Deputy Dennis Osberg is handling city operations until the handover as her current condition remains undisclosed.
