The case:

On 7 January 2005, the mutilated body of a woman was discovered by the side of secondary road 44, going to  the Col du Donon, in the village of Saint-Quirin.

The woman’s body was concealed in an Harcostar-brand barrel-shaped rainwater butt wrapped in black rubbish bags tied with cords.

The same rainwater butt was seen in mid-October 2004 floating in the Red Saar River.

Characteristics:

Investigations carried out at the time suggested that the  woman could have been from Eastern Europe,  from Russia in particular, due to the many young Russian women who were present in the area at the time. Dental analysis established that the  woman’s dental care - including a Richmond dental crown - was recent and expensive at the time and may have been carried out in Germany.
