The investigators are focusing on two suspects from the woman’s environment, but there is currently no urgent suspicion against them. The 39-year-old was eight months pregnant when she disappeared in December.
The police assume that the pregnant woman from Nuremberg, who has been missing since the beginning of December 2022, was the targeted victim of a crime. The investigators are focusing on two suspects from Alexandra R.’s environment – she is “not a random victim,” said a spokesman for the Central Franconia Presidium on Thursday. There is currently no urgent suspicion against the suspects.
When asked whether the suspects had commented on the woman’s disappearance, the spokesman made no statements “for investigative tactical reasons”. First had Nuremberg newspaper and Nuremberg News reported.
The 39-year-old from the Katzwang district of Nuremberg was eight months pregnant when she disappeared without a trace on December 9, 2022. She had left behind money, ID cards and a maternity card. Investigators believe she was the victim of a violent crime.
According to the information, the investigations are currently primarily focused on the woman’s personal and business environment. Investigators searched other buildings related to the two suspects and a witness. The evaluation of the evidence secured there is ongoing. The whereabouts of the missing persons are still unclear, the spokesman said.
The investigations also lead the police to Romania, where the missing person comes from. So far there has been no response to a request for legal assistance from the EU country. The police in Romania would like to question people and check facts.
