A 40-year-old man was found dead in an apartment in Unterhaching on Friday. The police confirmed an operation and a deceased person, the apartment owner. According to information from South German newspaper The dead man is the husband of Vanessa Huber, who has been missing since November 2022. No information has yet been given about the cause of death, but according to police there is currently no evidence of external influence. There was a smell of decay in the house and the deceased’s mailbox was overflowing. An autopsy of the body will now provide more precise information.
The police still believe that the missing Vanessa Huber was the victim of a violent crime. Her husband was considered a suspect for some time, but the investigation came to nothing.
Vanessa Huber has been missing since November 5, 2022. When she disappeared, she didn’t take her passport, money or cell phone with her; her car and bicycle were in the garage. The then 39-year-old was last seen that day, in a supermarket on Münchner Straße in Unterhaching with her husband. There is a video recording of the purchase. The couple then allegedly went home together and got into an argument, whereupon Vanessa Huber left the apartment between 5 and 6 p.m., according to her husband. Two days later he reported his wife missing to the police.
In the days after the disappearance, the police in Unterhaching searched forests and bodies of water; drones and divers, as well as horse and dog teams, were also in action. But the search didn’t bring any information to the police. In January 2023, the case was also reported on the ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY unsolved”. In September, ten months after the disappearance, 120 officers searched the Perlacher Forest again with corpse-sniffing dogs – also without success.
