Overview
- Police recovered human remains during excavations in a meadow and woodland near Kadenzhofen in the municipality of Berg bei Neumarkt, close to a small airfield.
- Authorities, which announced the discovery on Friday, said it is not yet clear whether the remains are those of Kerstin Lee Langley and that rechtsmedizinische examinations are under way.
- The dig began after renewed tips pointed investigators to the site and followed earlier searches in 2024 that were prompted by a tip to a TV programme and yielded likely animal remains.
- Langley was reported missing by her brother in summer 2007 after she left with an unidentified man in a dark car, a lead police have never fully resolved and which left no suspect charged.
- The Bavarian state criminal police have offered a €10,000 reward for information and investigators say test results will shape whether the probe shifts to identification and cause‑of‑death work or to further searches.
