Investigators Expand Search in Fabian Case Near Klein Upahl, Recover Possible Evidence

The suspect remains detained after a court review pending ongoing forensic analyses.

Overview

  • On December 4, police redeployed 22 officers, including technical units with metal detectors, to re-examine terrain around the pond.
  • Authorities widened the sweep to an area roughly 200 to 300 meters from the original site to ensure no relevant items were missed.
  • Officers secured a black‑red piece of cloth reported as a potential clue, with lab assessment still to come.
  • Prosecutors say nearly 1,000 leads are being processed, the toxicology report is outstanding, and the weapon has not been found.
  • The ex‑partner of the boy’s father was arrested on November 6 on urgent suspicion of murder and remains in custody after the arrest warrant was confirmed on December 3, as the defense disputes the evidence and cites a witness claim about an earlier sighting of the body.
