An alleged murder victim has turned up safe and well 31 years after vanishing off the face of the earth.
The woman, Petra Pazsitka, from the northern German city of Braunschweig, was 24 years old when she was last seen in 1980. A man later confessed to killing her.
Now she is 55 and living as Mrs Schneider in Düsseldorf. Two weeks ago her home was burgled and she called police who discovered her true identity.
A police spokesman: “It is indeed the missing-presumed-dead woman. She said she lived in different cities under a false name. She never had a new identity card.”But her original one was found in the flat by detectives investigating the break-in. She eventually confessed to living a lie for the past 31 years.
Petra had gone missing after she visited a Dentist on 26 July 1984. She had left the place at 3.00pm to take the bus to her parents in nearby Wolfsburg, according to a friend but she never arrived.
And because a year earlier, a 14-year-old girl had been murdered close to the stop where she was supposed to catch the bus, the police believed the killer had struck again.
Petra even featured on a German Crimewatch show called ‘Case Files XY....Unsolved’ but no-one had any info to help locate her.
At the end of March 1985 Günter K.,a 19 year old carpenter’s apprentice was arrested and confessed to the murder of the teenager. In 1987 he also admitted to killing Petra. So the authorities declared dead by the authorities.
Since the discovery, she has refused to talk about her disappearance, only telling police that she wanted “nothing more to do” with her family.
Dozens of emaciated-looking Boko Haram members begging for food have surrendered in northeast Nigeria, the military and a civilian self-defense fighter said Wednesday. Seventy-six people including children and women gave themselves up to soldiers last Saturday in Gwoza, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, according to a senior officer. All are being detained at military headquarters in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and currently the command center of the war against the Islamic extremists, according to the officer. He insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists. The detainees said many more fighters want to surrender, a self-defense civilian fighter who helped escort them to Maiduguri told The Associated Press. Food shortages could indicate that Nigeria's military is succeeding in choking supply routes of the Islamic extremists who have taken their fight across Nigeria's borders. Some 20,000 people have died in th...
