Killed on tuesday, 13 september 1966, around 7.00pm in Foersterbusch park in Marl.
20 years old, with short hair
Found 2 days later, hidden in bushes, naked from the waist down and her legs spread wide apart.
Strangled and raped. She left the Capri ice-cream parlour where she spent 1 1/2 hour with her boyfriend Adolf SCHICKEL (27), then went home through the park.
Kroll: "I saw this woman in the park. She was young, with short hair. I spoke to her and then grabbed her around the neck with my right arm. I dragged her into the bushes and threw her on the ground. I choked her until she stopped moving. Then I took off her pants and her other things and I did it to her. I left her lying there and took the train back to Duisburg. When I got home I was still hot, and I had it with the doll, and did it with my hand a couple of times".
The police arrested Adolf SCHICKEL and questioned him at length, but they had to let him go. The public still considered him guilty and he was chased out of Marl. On 4 january 1967, he drowned himself in the Main River near Wiesbaden.
