Murder of 2002: ZDF broadcast hopes for new information from Trier!

On March 5, 2025, the ZDF television program "File number XY ... unresolved" deals with a murder case that has been unexplained for more than two decades. The re -examination of the crime aims to gain new clues that the Trier criminal police could support in solving the case. The focus is on the murder of a deaf woman from Cologne, who was brutally murdered at the age of 30.

The show starts at 8:15 p.m. and presents a total of three “Cold Cases”, including the tragic fate of the killed. On December 29, 2002 she was seen for the last time when she was traveling with a friend on the street in Bonn. Around 9:20 p.m. she got into a white van - a fateful moment that her trail was lost forever. The perpetrator is said to have driven the woman about 150 kilometers towards Trier.

the cruel find

Your body was discovered on New Year's Day 2003 near Schweich (district of Trier-Saarburg), in a small parking lot near the junction to Bundesautobahn 1 at Landesstraße 141. The circumstances of her death, which testify to a dispute before her death, are still unclear, and the criminal police hopes that the repetition of the case on television could lead to new findings.

New interest in this case is also evident in the context of broader discussions about unresolved crimes in Germany. The latest reporting on other unexplained murder cases shows that such cold cases fascinate both the investigators and the public. The repetition of this fate could possibly stimulate future witnesses or informants to comment.

The search for justice that has been ongoing for years

Even before the broadcast, the authorities hope for the positive effects of a larger media presence. In the past, the Trier criminal police have repeatedly contacted the public to achieve the investigation of the murder. There have always been new approaches over the years, but the murderer has not yet been caught.

The tragedy and the circumstances of the case not only lead a light on the problem of the damaged social groups, but also to deal with victims of violent crimes. The case is not only on a topic for criminal investigators, but also moves many people in society who identify with the fate of the killed.

"File number XY ... unresolved" could attract the necessary attention to possibly put other similar cases into the light of the public that have been waiting for a clarification for years. Through the conveying of such stories, society not only receives a picture of the defended justice, but also from the constant and often frustrating work of the investigators who are looking for light in the dark.
