This is what the unknown dead woman from Todtnau in the southern Black Forest would have looked like.

On July 24, 1997, a berry collector found the body of an unknown woman in a forest area near Todtnau in the southern Black Forest. Partially burned, it was buried in a hole in the ground near the Weissenbach hiking parking lot. To this day, we still don’t know who the 20-year-old was and who was responsible for her death.

Several people claim to have recognized the unknown person. “This and other information is currently under investigation.”

Probably a reference to the border triangle

According to Lörrach police, identification is an important step in solving the case. Only then can the environment be investigated and possible motives get to the bottom of it. This environment could therefore extend to Switzerland.
