Boris C. galt jahrelang als tot. Nun tauchte er wieder auf.
Ermittler aus Nordrhein-Westfalen haben einen jahrzehntealten sogenannten Cold Case um einen verschwundenen Mann gelöst. Der seit knapp 30 Jahren Vermisste wurde nicht getötet, sondern lebt nach wie vor, wie die Polizei in Mönchengladbach mitteilte.

Overview

  • Boris C. disappeared from Viersen on September 13, 1994 at age 37 and was declared dead in 1997 after his bloodstained car was found in Düsseldorf.
  • In 2024 investigators re-examined blood evidence and confirmed it was his before locating him living in France under his real name.
  • He admitted self-inflicting wounds to fabricate a violent crime and fled to escape debts and feared reprisals.
  • Authorities say he left behind his original family and has since established a new family in France.
  • Polizei Mönchengladbach and Staatsanwaltschaft investigators verified his identity, took his statement and officially closed the Cold Case.
