Nuremberg: Lieselotte Lauer disappeared 29 years ago
"For some time now, cold cases have been piling up, that is, unexplained cases that went back many years," says presenter Rudi Cerne at the beginning of the program.
"Why is that?
The answer is very simple: murder is never statute-barred, ”he explains.
In the film about the criminal case, one subsequently learns that Lieselotte Lauer was 30 years old when she disappeared in 1992, needed her own apartment after a separation, but still had a good relationship with her ex-boyfriend.
Like most of her friends and acquaintances, she worked in Gunzenhausen * for the SEL company.
She blossomed after the move, traveled a lot, and several men must have shown interest in her.
But nothing was known about a new relationship.
"File number XY ... unsolved" - colleagues notice the disappearance of "Lissy"
Her ex-boyfriend, who was already living with a new woman, received strange calls in June 1992, shortly before Lauer's disappearance, and once even went to her, worried. On July 1, 1992, she came home from the late shift at around 0.30 a.m. About ten minutes later, a neighbor overhears someone leaving the house and sees that someone is driving away in Lissy's car. In the morning, Lissy must have come back, because at around 9 a.m. she is being watched as she drives away from the apartment, the police know that much. An hour later she claims to have seen a witness in downtown Gunzenhausen.
When she doesn't show up on her late shift in the afternoon, her friends and work colleagues are puzzled.
It turns out: the car is gone, the cat is not fed.
That is atypical for "Lissy", as she is called.
She also did not call in sick and did not cancel shopping with a friend.
So your friends go to the police and report them missing.
The car is found in the parking lot two days later
Two days after her disappearance, Lieselotte Lauer's car is discovered in a parking lot in Gunzenhausen near the Altmühl. The officers found severe damage to the underbody of the orange-red Ford Fiesta. Today the Kripo Ansbach is entrusted with the case, and Chief Detective Gunnar Scharar switched on Rudi Cerne that evening. Scharar explains that he and his team now assume that the damage had nothing to do with the disappearance and was already there. The Fiesta was a used car.
It is quite possible that Lissy Lauer parked her car in the parking lot herself.
However, there are no indications of voluntary disappearance, suicide or an accident.
“She was about to rearrange her life.
She was considered very reliable among colleagues, but also among friends, ”explains Scharar.
“We have pieces of the puzzle and details that speak for a crime at hand,” continues the chief detective.
"Successful feedback" after the broadcast "Aktenzeichen XY ... unsolved"
“We have clues as to where the body might be hiding. And here is a search in preparation that is imminent, ”reveals Scharer in the program. During the broadcast of "Aktenzeichen XY ... unsolved", 20 references to the Lieselotte Lauer case were received. By the following day, "a good two dozen reports had been received," said a spokesman. He speaks of “successful feedback” after the broadcast. Among the people there are many who have made statements as early as 1992. They wanted to specify or supplement these again, but also new witnesses. "There is one or the other lead that has the potential to advance the investigation," is the first assessment.
The Ansbach Criminal Police are still looking for witnesses who can provide information about their disappearance on July 1, 1992 and asks to call them on (0981) 90 94 0. For clues that lead to the investigation of a possible crime, 10,000 Euro reward.
