Overview

• Authorities are searching for 61-year-old Alexander Meisner, suspected of killing a couple and their 16-year-old son in Weitefeld, Westerwald, earlier this month.
• A televised appeal on ZDF’s 'Aktenzeichen XY... ungelöst' generated immediate tips, including one from an acquaintance of the suspect already known to police.
• Viewers also reported possible sightings of Meisner, which are currently being verified by investigators.
• Police have deployed 30 investigators to process the influx of leads and recently searched a suspicious vehicle near Meisner’s residence, though no connection to the murders was found.
• The motive for the killings remains unknown, and a €10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the suspect’s capture.
