Episode notes
Conflicting Witness Accounts
- Witnesses report the girls walking into the dunes with older boys and a seven-year-old later sees a blond teen leave alone, possibly missing a knife.
- Wolfgang's evolving testimony is noted as unreliable given his age and the traumatic circumstances.
Forensic Limits Hindered The Case
- Investigators found a drag mark and concentrated blood spots suggesting separate attack locations and that a smaller attacker might have struggled to move a victim.
- Forensic limits in 1965 (hot sand, degraded samples) prevented precise time of death and later DNA usefulness.
Food And Drink Suggest Lured Trust
- Christine had undigested chicko-roll ingredients and a blood alcohol reading implying she was likely given food and drink shortly before death.
- This detail supports that the killer may have gained the girls' trust with food or alcohol.
