The Berlin police want to continue looking for clues to the bones of colleagues who were murdered during the Nazi era.
Excavations in the Spandau district have been unsuccessful these days, as the police announced on Tuesday.
"But we hope for clues in an even more intensive search in archives," said police spokesman Martin Halweg.
Berlin - Research in archives abroad, for example in the USA or Russia, is also conceivable.
Ultimately, the previous investigations would have led to the fact that the names of the four colleagues who were shot were now available in full and in the correct spelling.
