Mysterious bone discovery near Winsen: Are there new clues in the Schulze case?
A sensational discovery has kept the Lower Saxony region in suspense these days. A walker discovered a human bone on the banks of the Luhe near Winsen (Luhe) in the Harburg district. This happened in mid-September, but the investigation is only now in full swing. The forensic medical examination clearly showed that it was a human bone. The Harburg police station is intensively checking whether this find is connected to the case of the Schulze family from Drage, which has been missing since 2015, reports stern.de.
The Schulze family consists of the missing father Marco, his wife Sylvia and their daughter Miriam. Marco was discovered dead in the Elbe a few days after her disappearance, while his wife and daughter are still missing to this day. The location of the bone is approximately twelve kilometers north of the family's previous home, which further fuels the investigation. It was previously unclear whether the bone was washed ashore by the Elbe or had another cause.
Intensive investigations and searches
After the bones were found, the police initially launched a smaller search operation, but this yielded no results. It was then decided to conduct a more comprehensive search of the area. The larger operations involve the use of divers, sniffer dogs and sonar boats to find possible additional remains or evidence. However, nothing like this has been discovered so far ndr.de reported.
Police have already determined that the fragment discovered is part of a human skull, although its external appearance suggests that it could not have come from a recent act of violence. The exact dating of the bone and DNA analyzes are pending. These analyzes are important in order to establish a possible connection to existing missing person cases, especially that of the Schulze family.
The crime statistics and the significance of the case
The continuation of these investigations takes place in the context of the police crime statistics (PKS) of the state of Lower Saxony, which offers valuable insights into crime. As a crucial instrument for observing types of crimes and suspects, the PKS also helps with criminal policy planning, it emphasizes polizei-nds.de. Given that human remains are continually being found in the region, the Schulze family case has particular relevance to the local public.
The police will keep the public informed and inform about the results of forensic medicine, which could provide valuable information to clarify the fate of Sylvia and Miriam Schulze. At the moment it remains to be seen how the investigation will develop and what the bone discovery will ultimately reveal.
