"Identify Me" campaign leads to success for the first time
With the international "Identify Me" campaign, the police want to solve previously unsolved murders of women. In a case from Belgium dating back 31 years, investigators are now one step closer. Relatives can identify the victim.
For the first time, a previously unknown female murder victim has been identified in the international police campaign "Identify Me". Relatives from Wales in Great Britain were able to identify a woman who was found murdered in a river in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1992, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in Wiesbaden.
The case had also been reported in Great Britain. In the campaign, the Belgian authorities had drawn attention to a striking flower tattoo that the woman had on her forearm. This enabled relatives to recognize the woman.
She was a 31-year-old woman from Cardiff who had moved to Antwerp in February 1992 shortly before her murder. With this campaign, the BKA is looking for clues to six German murder cases. So far, 950 leads have been received, most of which are still being investigated.
