Overview
- Witnesses found the umbilical cord with a clamp on a parking lot in Neuhaus am Rennweg’s Steinheid district near a mother-and-child clinic.
- Police and fire services searched the area extensively, including nearby woods and the clinic grounds, using rescue dog teams.
- Investigators confirm the tissue is a human umbilical cord and have submitted it for forensic analysis.
- The cord’s condition initially led authorities to suspect the baby had been born shortly before the discovery.
- Nearly a week later, criminal police report no trace of the mother or infant and are asking the public for information.
