Investigations - "Inga" missing person case: police follow up on new leads
Eight and a half years ago, five-year-old Inga disappeared apparently without a trace in the remote Wilhelmshof district of Stendal - now the police are following up new leads in the case. On Thursday morning, excavations began on a private property, said a spokesman for the Halle police station. It was a former military site.
They are digging with shovels and spades, and a mini excavator is also at the ready. The excavations were started after a tip-off, about which the police spokesman did not want to give any further details.
Five-year-old Inga disappeared on May 2, 2015 during a visit with her family in the remote Wilhelmshof district of Stendal - her fate remains unknown to this day. The five-year-old was last seen while preparing for a barbecue. Extensive searches had led to no results. Investigators followed up around 2000 leads and clues.
In April, the Halle police station took over the evaluation and analysis of the current state of the investigation. The investigators were to take an unbiased look at the case, which had previously been handled by the Stendal police station. This is the implementation of a new cold case management system that Saxony-Anhalt Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang had set in motion.
