After the disappearance of the 21-year-old Viennese woman Jennifer S., the case is considered solved almost eight years later.

The now 32-year-old ex-boyfriend has, according to Gerhard Winkler from the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, made a "comprehensive confession" and led the police to the remains of the young woman. The investigations, which were never discontinued, as emphasized during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, received new leads this year through a voice message.

The suspect had "detailed" in a chat how he would dispose of a body without leaving suspicious traces, the investigators reported. After that, the man was once again in focus.

Last week, during a renewed interrogation, he was apparently already close to confessing, said Winkler. But it was only last weekend that the 32-year-old turned himself in at a police station in the Waldviertel, and his statement was immediately followed by his arrest. Ultimately, he also led the investigators to the location where Jennifer S.'s body was disposed of.

Missing Person Case Jennifer S.: Two Body Disposal Sites in Lower Austria

As the criminal investigators reported, the suspect initially hid the deceased, who had been considered missing since January 2018, in the area of Großweikersdorf in the Tulln district. It was not until March of the same year that the man is said to have brought the remains to the final disposal site near the Allentsteig military training area in the Zwettl district.

Jennifer S. had been missing since January 21, 2018. The 21-year-old had argued with her partner and subsequently separated from him. She then disappeared under what the police described as "alarming circumstances" from the shared apartment in Vienna-Brigittenau. At that time, the ex-boyfriend denied any involvement in a possible violent crime. The criminal investigations against him on suspicion of deprivation of liberty were discontinued in April 2019.
