Independent: Body of German woman missing for 40 years found by man renovating father's attic A German man has made a startling discovery after finding the body of a woman in his father's attic -- 40 years after she was reported missing. --- He had been renovating the loft in his father's house in Cloppenburg, Lower Saxony when he unearthed the woman's skeleton, which was covered in leaves and straw. Police said they received a call about the "very unusual" discovery on 28 August and found the skeleton in a lying position wearing several jackets and a pair of trousers and shoes. Authorities believe the bones belong to a 28-year-old woman who disappeared in 1977, five kilometres from the house. --- The mother-of-three had a history of mental illness, police said. Her husband died in 2012. --- Police said they do not suspect another person to be involved in the woman's death. more at link above
