Overview

• ZDF’s Aktenzeichen XY highlighted the case on September 17, prompting police to publicize a composite image and offer a €10,000 reward for information.
• During the broadcast, a caller reported remembering a man in 1994 who boasted about multiple conquests, including a woman who spoke Spanish; police say they will check the account.
• Koblenz police report 14 viewer tips received so far, which are being reviewed without an assessment of their quality at this stage.
• A male DNA profile was extracted from preserved evidence during the case review, and investigators assess the offender as a single male with a strong regional connection at the time.
• Several items taken from the victim—glasses, a silver bracelet, a Timex watch, white Nike shoes and a white fanny pack—remain missing, as does the owner of a bicycle found near the stairway to the scene.
