Interpol Releases Video Appeal for Public Help in Identifying 22 Women Whose Bodies Were Found Across Europe Over 43 Years

Interpol, the international police organization, has released a video appealing for public help in identifying 22 women whose bodies were found in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands over a span of 43 years. The most recent discovery was in 2019. The women, some of whom showed signs of abuse or starvation, met violent deaths, and their remains were often dismembered.

Police have been unable to identify the women by their distinguishing features or apparel, such as “the woman with the flower tattoo” and “the woman with the artificial nails,” or by the locations where their remains were discovered, like “the woman in the canal” and “the woman in the suitcase.”

The video released by Interpol features well-known women, including Dutch celebrities, in an effort to draw attention to the case and encourage public assistance in identifying the victims.

Interpol is hoping that the public can help provide information that will lead to the identification of the women, and in turn, the capture of their killers. Such a breakthrough would enable police to no longer have to rely on distinguishing features or apparel to identify victims, and would bring closure to the families of the victims.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Interpol or the local police.
