However, investigators did not give any information about the possible course of events. The child was last seen on Saturday at around 5.30 pm in Freudenberg, as he was returning home from visiting a friend. As the 12-year-old boy did not return home, the search began with the help of the police and fire department that night.
It is still puzzling why the dead girl was not found on the way home from his girlfriend in the direction of the Freudenberger city center, but in the opposite direction, and therefore in the territory of Rhineland-Palatinate. However, it is presumed that the place where she was found was also the crime scene, Süs said.
The murder weapon, probably a knife, has yet to be found. The forest on the state border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate will therefore continue to be searched.
