Divers recovered a skeletonized body from Lake Starnberg on Tuesday.

The horror find puzzles.

The Kripo is now looking for clues.

Update from April 29th, 6:29 pm:

A pair of white Adidas sneakers of the "Indoor Special" type is currently the hottest lead in a mysterious case that the Fürstenfeldbruck criminal investigation department is dealing with. The white shoes with black stripes in shoe size 12 (UK) belonged to a person whose remains were discovered by divers in Lake Starnberg on Tuesday morning. As the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria North announced on Thursday, divers from the Bundeswehr training center in Percha were on their platform on the lake on Tuesday when they found the human remains.

The Bundeswehr then informed the police.

In addition to two officers from the Starnberg water protection police, riot police divers were on duty shortly afterwards.

They found other parts of a skeletonized corpse, as well as a few other items of clothing.

However, the identity of the body was still unclear on Thursday.

The time the bones were in place could not yet be more precisely defined “at the current state of investigation”.

Due to the condition of the corpse, however, many years must be assumed.

In addition, the shoe size - 12 (UK) corresponds to 46.5 (EU) - suggests that it is a man.

Corpse in Lake Starnberg: Krippo is now searching through the missing persons cases of the past years

The officers of the Kripo are now going through the missing persons cases of the past years. If necessary, the dental scheme could also provide information about the identity, said police spokeswoman Michaela Grob to the

Starnberger Merkur

. The difficulty lies in establishing a connection between a missing person and Lake Starnberg. Starnberg's police chief Bernd Matuschek can only remember one single case of a missing person that could not be resolved: At the end of May 2010, a then 67-year-old sailor from Munich went overboard of a sailing ship between Tutzing and Bernried. According to Matuschek, the man has not yet been found.

At this point in time, however, it is pure speculation whether the Bundeswehr diver has found the remains of this man.

Matuschek assumes that the body has been lying in the lake for at least ten years.

This is also supported by the age of the shoes.

As an Adidas spokeswoman said on request, the “Indoor Spezial” model came on the market in 1979 and was definitely available until 1984.

Starnberg - Police divers made a terrible find last Tuesday, April 27, 2021, in Lake Starnberg.
