That wording is similar to the quote I'd read. Reason to believe person's had concrete knowledge of the crime and knew where the body may have been placed.Here I believe is the original german wording "Es gibt Grund zu der Annahme, dass es außer dem Verdächtigen noch andere Personen gibt, die konkrete Kenntnisse über den Verlauf des Verbrechens und möglicherweise auch über den Ort haben, an dem die Leiche zurückgelassen wurde"

Allowing for different translators this is pretty much the same but lacking the word concrete. I'm reading it in a similar way - that others were involved rather than others watched it. Which makes Juliet Bravo thinking she sees two refections very interesting.Might be reading too much into this, but he said "there are reasons to believe that there are other people besides the suspect who know how that night went... maybe they even know where the body was left".
This is interesting to me firstly because he says "reasons" (plural). This might be a reach on my part, but that may mean that they have more than one thing that suggests other people (again, people is plural) might know how it went down that night (night is singular). It makes me think they must have witness statement(s) from someone who was there, or who heard about it all second hand and they need solid proof of it - or others to come forward to corroborate. It also made me think whatever happened to that kid, happened in one night, vs being trafficked or passed about. Just thinking of possibilities and again, its probably way over reading into it...
Sadly I've never believed the poor kid survived the night because statistics suggest otherwise so I agree on that. I'm hoping the other person is something like a girlfriend rather than a fellow perpetrator.
