Apparently, it has happened again. Angela Merkel may no longer be chancellor of Germany, but her deadly legacy lives on. Over the weekend, police in the state of Baden Wuerttemberg discovered the body of a 17-year-old German girl who had apparently been murdered. A 35-year-old Syrian man has been arrested and remains in custody after appearing before a magistrate.
The below news article from the Ludwigsburger Zeitung, a local paper, is translated by Fousesquawk.
Missing Tabitha E. (17) from Asperg found dead
The missing Tabitha E. from Asperg is dead. On Sunday, investigators found the body of the 17-yeat-old. Police and State Prosecuopt's office are assuming homicide. According to Monday's information, a 35-year-old Syrian is in custody.
Asperg/Markgroeningen: While police and the State Prosecutor's office, in a joint press conference, would not give precise information about the exact location where the body was discovered and only referred to the Ludwisgburg District, our newspaper has received unconfirmed information that it was either between Oberriexingen and the Markgroeninger neighborhood of Oberriexingen or in Lendelsbachtal between Markgroeningen and Unterriexingen. Reportedly, the smartphone of the murder victim last logged in in the area of the Markgroeningen water tower in Gewann Bracke. In this area, the investigators conducted a massive search operation over the weekend, in which helicopters, drones, and detection dogs were deployed. A nearby stretch of forest in Leudelsbachtal was also the focus of the investigators. On Sunday afternoon, according to police and the State Prosecutor's office, the body was found.
Victim of a violent crime
Based on initial findings, the police assume that Tabitha E. was the victim of a violent crime. On Saturday, the investigators searched the apartment of a 35-year-old suspect, and the man was temporarily taken into custody. On request of the State Prosecutor's office in Stuttgart, he was taken before a magistrate, who committed the 35-year-old Syrian national to a prison facility. As a spokesperson of the State Prosecutor's office announced, the suspect gave no information to the magistrate.
For further police investigations, police have established a special commission ("Berg"-Mountain). The police are hoping for information as to the possible course of events and cause of death from the results of the autopsy, which took place on Monday. The police are hoping for clues from witnesses. For the investigators, it is especially important who saw a greyish brown 2009 BMW 320 with Ludwisgburg license plates since the 17-year-old disappeared on July 12, (and) in which the missing girl and the man were riding. Witnesses should contact police at tel. number (0800) 1100225.
Hardly any information from investigators
The police and State Prosecutor are not releasing further information about the crime. Thus far, there is no information as to whether the murder victim was raped, any visible injuries, or whether a murder (weapon) was found. It also remains unclear where the victim and the 35-year-old suspect knew each other from and if the Syrian was already known to police.
The teenager had left her parents' apartment at around 16:15 on the afternoon of July 12, to take the bus to Ludwigsburg. By evening, she had not returned home. Her brother then started a search action on Instagram and posted a photo of his sister. TV Moeglingen joined the call for a search on Facebook. Tabitha E. was apparently active as a supervisor in the club's gymnastic department.

Fousesquawk comment: In fairness, I should note that no evidence has been disclosed publicly by police, and sometimes, arrested suspects are later released and cleared. So I am not pre-supposing this suspect's guilt. Yet, this kind of crime is happening all too often in Germany and the rest of Western Europe. Angela Merkel and other German politicians, past and present, have the blood of innocent Germans on their hands. When will Germany's leaders say, "Enough!" and stop importing violent criminals into their country under the guise of a humanitarian refugee policy?
