Homicide of Igor T.
Fresh Take:
Latest News, June 25: Was the Homicide Committed in Baden-Baden?
The investigative crew "Mire" remains hard at work, delving into the tragic case of Igor T., whose body emerged from an old fishing pond in the Ranntal near Keltern on May 29, 2025. Initial assessments hint at an unusual tale, as the discerning eye of a passerby detected something off about the water on that day. The authorities were alerted to a peculiar silhouette submerged in the water.
Prior to the grim discovery, other individuals had allegedly spotted an object within the pond, though they ignorantly assumed it was discarded waste. This would indicate that the body might have been transported to the location as early as mid/late January. Moreover, expansive meadows near the pond may have been utilized for the suspected transportation, lending credence to the theory that the gruesome act might have transpired within Igor T.'s native town.
"In the wee hours of the morning, premises associated with the crime were simultaneously invaded by agents from the Offenburg Criminal Police and the Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Police Office. A plethora of evidence was amassed, while several individuals were rounded up," the police stated in a bulletin on the 25th.
Public Assistance Urged:
- Who made disturbing observations around "Am Weißen Weg" street in Baden-Baden in mid/late January 2025?
- Who spotted suspicious persons or vehicles at the former fishing pond in Ranntal between January and May 29, 2025?
- Who observed vehicles suitable for transporting bulky items?
- Who can provide additional tips about the crime or the suspects?

June 6th, 1:03 PM: Police Appeals for Public Support

May 29th: Explorers Discover Body in the Pond
Walkers incidentally stumbled upon a body in the Ranntal on Thursday, May 29th, within the former small fishing pond near the "large oak". Given the circumstances of the finding, the authorities strongly suspect a heinous crime was committed. Due to the establishment of the special commission "Mire" at the Pforzheim Police Headquarters, an investigation is now underway. The police confirmed this in a bulletin on June 2nd.
Forensic pathologists from Heidelberg conducted an autopsy on the unidentified corpse, which revealed the body to be male and indicated a violent crime. Further details will be disclosed at a later time due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
The victim was later identified as a 59-year-old male from Baden-Baden who had not been seen for several weeks. The investigation is ongoing to ascertain whether the deceased had any connection to the Keltern region.

In light of new information, the victim, a 59-year-old male from Baden-Baden, was last seen on January 25, not January 22, potentially changing the timeframe for any witnesses or suspects in the general-news topic of Igor T.'s homicide. Interestingly, politics comes into play as the crime-and-justice investigation unfolds, with the public's assistance being crucial to the progress of the case, specifically in relation to suspicious observations around certain locations in Baden-Baden and the Ranntal pond.
