Body of Anja Bareinz Found: Murderer’s Home Address Correlates with Mantrailing Results of Kurtz Detective Agency

Solving Two Murders of Women in Leipzig-West

In early December, the Kurtz Detective Agency Leipzig conducted a mantrailing operation in the missing person case of Anja Bareinz, summarized here in shortened form. Mrs. Bareinz had been missing since November 29, 2016. Yesterday, on February 28, 2017, the worst fears were confirmed: the mother of a two-year-old daughter is dead – murdered.

When confronted by the police with a search warrant, the perpetrator confessed. He was also responsible for the murder of Maria D., a Portuguese woman whose body was found in the Elster Basin in April 2016. The home address of the murderer had been passed several times by the tracking dogs of our Leipzig private investigation team during their trail, and the complete results were provided to the police. Nevertheless, it took almost three more months before the body was discovered.

Trailing Results Near All Relevant Locations

As already described in December, the mantrailing operation on December 5, 2016, was hindered by various unfavorable factors. Nevertheless, the trail from that time strongly correlates with the police investigation results presented yesterday and allows conclusions about the course of events.

The starting point was the last known location of the victim – Bar 55 at the Lindenauer Markt. From there, the scent trail led through the pedestrian zone to Gemeindeamtsstraße and then to Merseburger Straße, where at the corner of Demmeringstraße the dogs showed increased alert behavior. Only a few meters away lies Apostelstraße, where the body was later found. From Merseburger Straße, the trail turned into Demmeringstraße and continued up to Odermannstraße, where the tracking dog turned around and followed the route back. Exactly on this stretch – on Demmeringstraße between Merseburger Straße and Odermannstraße – is the murderer’s residence. Without deeper insight into the police’s investigation progress – in which neither we nor the family were substantially involved – it cannot be ruled out that the body was not yet located at the later discovery site in Apostelstraße at the time of the trail. At present, the relatives, the public, and our Leipzig detectives are awaiting further police information on this matter.

Second Tracking Dog Confirms Initial Trail

Verification of the first trail by another mantrailing dog covered a slightly wider area that encompassed the first trail entirely, showed alert behavior at a residence on Angerstraße, and also passed through Demmeringstraße.

A third scent-tracking dog examined the Elster Basin, where the perpetrator’s first victim had been found in April, but showed no alert behavior. Thus, it is not surprising that – unlike the first victim – the body was not found in that area.

Lack of Cooperation, Lack of Recognition

It is to be assumed — because anything else would be grossly negligent — that the results of our mantrailing operation were incorporated into the official investigation and provided potentially decisive clues toward solving the case. However, this fact was not mentioned in the publications by the police or the public prosecutor’s office. Instead, authorities pressured the victim’s family — despite initial promises of cooperation — not to initiate further private investigations, repeatedly changed internal case handlers before taking meaningful action, and failed to provide the family with relevant updates on the investigation’s progress. The pursuit of the leads indicated by the trail began only after a significant delay.

Unfortunately, the State of Saxony still shows considerable prejudice against the use of mantrailing dogs, which have repeatedly contributed to solving murder cases in Brandenburg and Berlin — and, notably, using the very same dogs. We experienced similar resistance years ago in another case, which was also reported by RTL.
