206. The Solved Cold Case Murder of Carmen Kampa | Germany

Looking out of the train window, a witness saw a large man striking a young woman, then forcing both his hands on her shoulders so she couldn’t get back up. The witness opened the train window and heard the young woman screaming: “Please, don’t! Please don’t!” The train passenger shouted for the attacker to stop, but the train was already moving. By the time police arrived at the scene, there was no trace of the crime. Then, three days later they found Carmen’s body. For years the case that was witnessed by multiple train passengers remained unsolved, but thanks to the determination of a prosecutor and a cold case team – it was solved 40 years later.
