Overview

• A walker reported discovering a human bone on September 14 near the old power plant in Winsen-Luhdorf, roughly 12 kilometers from the Schulze family’s home in Drage.
• Police confirmed the discovery and mounted a large operation at the site using divers, a sonar boat and cadaver dogs.
• No additional remains or evidence were located during the follow-up search of the Luhe riverside area.
• Preliminary police assessments indicate the bone does not appear to come from a recent incident, with identification pending DNA analysis and database checks.
• The long-running case dates to 2015, when the father was recovered dead from the Elbe with a concrete weight, while Sylvia and Miriam Schulze remain missing.
