Cold Case in Pohlheim: New DNA notes give hope for solution!
More than 13 years after the brutal murder of an 80-year-old former building contractor in Pohlheim, Hesse, the police have received new clues that could possibly contribute to clarifying the case. In the late evening of September 9, 2011, the perpetrator or the perpetrators entered the victim's house, overwhelmed him and tried in vain to open a safe. After the failed attempt, the victim was killed by “massive violence”. Since the presentation of the case in the ZDF program "File number XY ... unresolved", about 20 information has been received by the public prosecutor and the police, which are now being spotted by the "Cold Case" unit of the police headquarters in Middle Hesse and the Department of Capital Office of the Gießen public prosecutor href = "https://www.borkenerzeitung.de/nachrichten/ermittler-pruefen-neue-s-zu-13-jahre-mordfall-599802.html"> Borkener Zeitung .
Investigators cannot currently comment on the quality or direction of the information received. The analysis of the DNA traces secured at the scene shows that a total of two different male DNA profiles were found. A new trail, which comes from an unknown man, was also secured on the safe. The Imageintensive investigative work
The intensity of the investigation is remarkable. So far, over 370 interrogations have been carried out and DNA series examinations with almost 500 participants have been implemented. Despite these extensive measures, the case has so far remained unsolved. The “Cold Case” unit and the public prosecutor's office have been dealing intensively with the case for months and are optimistic that new technologies and modern analysis methods can contribute to clarification.
Another aspect of the case is the reward for crucial information: a total of 8,000 euros are exposed to information that leads to the perpetrator's captivation. This sum is divided into 5,000 euros from a private side and 3,000 euros from the public prosecutor. The reward is pronounced, especially for private individuals.

modern DNA analyzes play a crucial role in clarifying Cold Cases. Corresponding technologies make it possible to analyze small or earlier inaccurate DNA traces, which increases the chances of identifying suspects. According to information from Welt , DNA comparisons with comprehensive databases that contain thousands of DNA profile, decisively be.
However, the statistics indicate that only a fraction of the Cold Cases ultimately leads to convictions, which underlines the complexity of the investigative work. The combination of classic investigative methods and modern technologies is essential to bring light into the dark for decades after a crime.
