Inquest into 1988 Murder of German Backpacker Inga Maria Hauser Begins

The Hauser family hopes the new inquest will finally uncover the truth behind Inga's unsolved murder in Northern Ireland.

Inga Maria Hauser, an 18-year-old from Munich, was found dead in Ballypatrick Forest, Northern Ireland, 36 years ago.
A pre-inquest review was held in Belfast, marking the first comprehensive public examination of the case.
The Hauser family, represented by Claire McKeegan, expressed trust and hope that the inquest will provide long-awaited answers.
Despite a large-scale DNA screening and previous arrests, no charges have been brought due to insufficient evidence.
The inquest is seen as a crucial step for the family, who have been seeking justice since Inga's murder in 1988.
