Overview

• On July 30 ZDF’s Aktenzeichen XY… ungelöst re-aired seven unresolved violent and property crime cases to solicit public tips.
• Only a handful of unverified calls have come in for high-profile cases such as the Braunschweig bus-stop assault and the A3 hit-and-run driver’s identity.
• Parallel investigations led to the arrest of three suspects in a late-June armed car-jacking in Nürnberg and a 33-year-old linked to a fence-slat attack and a seven-count burglary spree in Schwarzenberg.
• Newly reported incidents include a knife-point robbery of a Holzkirchen gas station in the early hours of July 31 and a head-on collision between two trucks on the B22 near Speichersdorf.
• Authorities continue to seek witnesses for remaining open cases, notably the Würzburg jeweller hostage heist and the fatal A3 hit-and-run, urging anyone with information to come forward.
