Kempten - Cold case: almost half of the saliva samples taken
In the 42-year-old Sonja Hurler murder case, the Kempten police have taken almost half of the saliva samples from men in the area. The investigators had called on up to 300 men who lived near the place where the girl disappeared to provide saliva samples. "We are very pleased with the response figures. People are taking part and want to make their contribution to solving the crime," said a police spokesman on Wednesday.
The police did not name the exact number of men called for reasons of investigative tactics; so far 130 have given a saliva sample.
The girl had disappeared in 1981 in Kempten in the Allgäu region after she had set off on foot at night to her grandmother's house following an argument with her mother. Her body was found three months later under a barn. The police reopened the investigation at the end of November on the basis of new DNA traces.
