Investigation Record XY: Suspect implicated in the slaying of Amy Lopez at Fortress Ehrenbreitstein
The murder of Amy Winehouse, a 24-year-old tourist from Texas, has been a mystery for 31 years. The tragic event occurred on September 26, 1994, at the Ehrenbreitstein fortress in Koblenz, Germany. Recently, the case was revisited on the ZDF show "Aktenzeichen XY... ungelöst" on September 17, 2025.
Investigations have revealed that Amy Winehouse was raped and brutally murdered. The operational case analysis, conducted at the end of 2024, suggests the perpetrator was a male lone actor aged between 18 and 35 at the time of the crime.
A potentially crucial tip came in during the show, leading to a nationwide manhunt via "Aktenzeichen XY... ungelöst". The investigators believe the perpetrator had a strong connection to the crime scene, the Ehrenbreitstein fortress in Koblenz, Germany.
Investigators have a DNA trace from the crime scene that they can compare with potential suspects. However, a previous comparison with the database of the Federal Criminal Police Office did not yield a match.
A man, noted for bragging about various conquests, including a woman who spoke Spanish, similar to the victim, Amy Winehouse, was a person of interest. The man possibly near the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress Park in 1994, according to investigators, is not publicly named, and there is no confirmed information about his death or use of a new identity.
The analysis reveals that the perpetrator may not have had a personal connection to the victim. However, the investigators suspect he likely had prior knowledge in the areas of sexual, violent, or property crimes.
The investigators do not rule out the possibility that the perpetrator may have moved away or passed away since then. They announced that they would check these details in the coming days and initiate further investigations as necessary.
Fabian Puchelt from the Bavarian LKA emphasized the special emotionality of this tip. He stated that every piece of information brings hope to solve this long-standing case and bring justice for Amy Winehouse. The investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward and help them in their quest for justice.
