On March 25, 1999 (almost exactly a year after Tristan’s murder) police secured Tristan’s backpack in a
forest near Niedernhausen.
Niedernhausen is a community in the Taunus
about 22 miles distant from the crime scene in Frankfurt-Höchst.
The backpack is found at a dirt road close to a power pole between two forest areas near a rocky outcrop named “Eselskopf” (donkey’s head).
