Interpol Launches Cold Case Search for Unidentified Murder Victims Across Europe

  • Interpol, along with Belgian, German, and Dutch police, has launched an appeal for information about the unsolved murders of 22 women.
  • The women were found in Belgium, The Netherlands, or Germany, but their bodies might have been transported there to confuse investigations.
  • The operation, called "Operation Identify Me," focuses on female victims as women are disproportionately affected by gender-based violence.
  • Establishing the victim's identity has led to the arrest of a suspect in similar investigations.
  • Interpol's global network will reach a wider public and might lead to someone recognizing their loved one, friend, or colleague.
