Fifty Year Murder Case

 Last night, late.....ARD (Channel One) ran a 'Crime Time' episode.....over a Mainz murder from 1970.  You can view the episode here on YouTube.  It's in German, but I strongly recommend watching it.

So the murder is set in a well-to-do home in Mainz.....a female doctor and her daughter were killed in a pretty violent fashion.  A guy who was known for being an exhibitionist with a low IQ....was the person that the police latched onto.

Fingerprints at the scene?  No.  That's the odd part of the story.  Police came to view that whoever did it....was extremely careful to leave absolutely no fingerprints.  

The guy pinned for the murder?  He still lives today.....in a state prison.....doing now over 50 years for the murder.  Normally, for most murders.....you'd be released by 20 years.  In his case, because he's never repented for the murders....the court system has kept him on.  

There's several reviews going on currently and people are now questioning the way that the police conducted the case, and maybe the guy was innocent of the charges.

The odd factor?  Well....this 17-year old daughter (in a upscale school and considered a high performer).....had written in her diary....she used LSD and sold LSD.

Based on the description of the murder scene.....with the LSD situation in the background.....I'm more inclined to believe one of the daughter's friends or customers were behind the murder.

Just an odd story to view.
