Vanessa Huber has been missing for a year and a half.
Now the police have found a dead person in Unterhaching.
According to Merkur information, this is Huber's husband.
Unterhaching - Several fire department vehicles arrived on Friday around 10:30 a.m. to the apartment building where Vanessa Huber lived with her husband until her disappearance.
A little later the police and a funeral vehicle followed.
A body was found in one of the apartments.
According to information from the Münchner Merkur, this is the 40-year-old husband of the missing person.
The Munich police headquarters has not officially confirmed this, but they cannot deny it either, a spokesman said.
The police came across the body after smelling a smell of decomposition in the hallway.
The dead man's mailbox was also overflowing, says the police headquarters spokesman.
The police then had the fire department open the apartment.
The cause of death is currently unknown, and as of now, external influence has been ruled out, according to the police spokesman.
Commissariat 12 has taken over the investigation into the case of the body that was found.
Husband only reported Vanessa Huber missing two days after she disappeared
The K11, the homicide squad, is still investigating the disappearance of Vanessa Huber.
Huber disappeared without a trace about a year and a half ago on November 5, 2022.
The search for the missing woman took months; it was only in September that more than 120 riot police officers combed a forest area near Unterhaching for the woman - without success.
Recordings from a surveillance camera in a Norma supermarket are the last images of the woman from Unterhaching.
After an argument, she left the apartment and never returned, the husband told the police at the time.
She didn't take important things like her passport, money and cell phone with her.
It was only two days after the disappearance that her husband reported Vanessa Huber missing.
Vanessa Huber case: Her husband was also targeted by investigators
From the beginning, the police assumed it was a violent crime.
The husband was also targeted by investigators, but suspicions were not substantiated.
But the homicide squad is still investigating “a person from the immediate surroundings,” the presidium said in November.
The ZDF program Aktenzeichen XY also reported on the case.
But so far there has been no trace of Vanessa Huber.
