All of Austria is currently looking for him: 56-year-old Roland Drexler is said to have shot two people dead in the Mühlviertel on Monday. Since the start of the investigation, more than 200 tips have been received about the fugitive. But he could have just changed his appearance.
Roland Drexler (56) is said to have shot two people dead in the Mühlviertel on Monday – he has been on the run ever since. About 250 police officers are still searching the area in Altenfelden and Arnreit where the victims were shot. More than 200 tips have been received from the public; the man is also said to have been seen in Salzburg, Tyrol and Burgenland.
Spotted at the hairdresser
“We are grateful for all the information. Then we assess the situation,” said Gottfried Mitterlehner, head of the LKA in Upper Austria. In most cases it quickly becomes clear that the tip may not be correct: for example, a witness said that he had seen Roland Drexler in a barbershop. That’s quite unrealistic considering his baldness.
The appearance is very easy to change
However, it is realistic that the suspected perpetrator has changed his appearance while on the run. The “Krone” therefore edited the mugshot. Without glasses and without a beard, the fugitive hunter looks very different. If you also put a cap on him, you can see how easily Drexler was able to change his appearance with little effort.
The self-proclaimed seer also got in touch
The international sensation that the murder case caused also produced strange results. A self-proclaimed seer from Germany contacted the police and the press wanting to know where Drexler was. But: The police had searched there before – without success.
It is already clear that the search for Roland Drexler will continue until he is found, because a murder – and that is why an investigation is being conducted – does not expire.
