Her name was Diana S. She was 16 when her lifeless body was found floating in the River Main in Frankfurt nearly 25 years ago.

German authorities have announced the arrest of a suspect following her identification. The suspect, a 67-year-old German citizen – and the victim’s father – has been placed in pre-trial detention on suspicion of murder.

In October 2024 the case was added to Identify Me, an international campaign coordinated by INTERPOL.

Several tips from the public led investigators to pursue new leads, ultimately resulting in the arrest on 12 May 2026 by the Hessian State Criminal Police Office, acting on the initiative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Frankfurt am Main.

Investigations remain ongoing and no further details will be disclosed at this stage, but the IdentifyMe campaign continues.

41 more victims are awaiting identification.
