Case[]
At 3:30 AM, a motorist reported a fire at the 'Rastplatz Breslau' (now known as 'Rastplatz Weißer Graben') on the A3 near Erlangen/Nuremberg. Upon arrival, the firefighters realized that the fire was not caused by a forest fire but rather by human bodies that were still burning several meters high.
The decedents had been struck from behind with an object, doused with gasoline and set on fire. The presence of soot in the victims' lungs suggests that they were still breathing at the time.
Investigators ruled out robbery as a motive for the murder after a valuable watch was found. The watch was made up of parts that suggested it was from Italy and Switzerland. Other items found at the scene pointed towards Italy as well.
Despite extensive investigations in Italy, including a television broadcast in 2017, their identities remain unknown.
