Police confirm missing 16-year-old's death

According to the police, a body found on Thursday is probably the missing 16-year-old schoolgirl from Remshalden (Rems-Murr district). "We assume that it is the missing person," said a police spokesman on Friday morning when asked.

It is still unclear how the girl died. An autopsy is expected later today to determine the cause of death. The body had been discovered the day before in Lenningen (Esslingen district) during a large-scale search operation. The teenager disappeared a week and a half ago. The Red Cross, a helicopter and the mountain rescue service had been looking for her for days on sometimes difficult terrain.

She had left her parents' house on January 24, but instead of going to her school, she took the train to Kirchheim unter Teck. From there she took the Teckbahn towards Lenningen. After that, their trail was lost. "According to our information, the missing person deliberately did not go to school on Tuesday - she probably told schoolmates that," said a police spokesman.

A special commission with 35 officers was set up to clarify the circumstances of death. Most recently, the investigators had set up a so-called anonymous tip system, with the help of which witnesses can easily report via the Internet. A man was identified as a witness on Thursday, the spokesman said. He got on the train with the missing person and could possibly provide information about where the girl wanted to go. The person concerned is not a suspect.
