After the discovery of a body at the end of August in the Bavarian inn, there is sad certainty: the body that washed up in Vogtareuth (Rosenheim district) was undoubtedly a woman who had been missing in Tyrol since 2019 (then 65).
The woman’s body may have been brought to the surface of the inn by the extreme flooding on August 28. In any case, early in the evening of that day the police received a report that a body had been found in the water on the banks of the Inn near Vogtareuth.
The water rescue service removed the dead woman from the river. “Due to the condition of the body, it had to be assumed that it had been in the water for a long time,” the Bavarian police said. Agents from the Rosenheim police department started the investigation and the Public Prosecution Service later took over.
DNA comparison provided confirmation
The autopsy of the body found no evidence of foul play or violent crime. There were also no clues about the woman’s identity. The investigators then also checked missing persons cases from neighboring Tyrol and came across the case of the woman who had been missing for four years. The then 65-year-old from Mils near Hall had been missing since a cycling trip in June 2019.
A DNA comparison confirmed that the body was actually that of the Tyrolean woman.
