Germany Germany - Inga Gehricke, 5, Stendal, Sachsen-Anhalt, 2 May 2015

Stendal (Saxony-Anhalt) – The allegations about the investigation errors in the case of the missing Inga (then 5) from Stendal are becoming more and more massive! Traces of a convicted pedophile are said not to have been followed thoroughly enough and files have been lost.

On Wednesday, the state parliament's interior committee will deal with the Inga case. The Berlin lawyer Steffen Tzschoppe, who represents the brother of the girl who disappeared almost eight years ago, raises serious allegations. Among other things, a 1,900-page file from Berlin is said to have been withheld from the inspectors.

In May 2015, shortly after Inga's disappearance, this offender used an excavator on his property," says the lawyer. During the same period, the man had dismantled his car on the property.

Neue Spur im Fall Inga: Pädophiler hatte lebensgroße Puppen im Keller

Report about the search of Martin H.'s house by investigators from Berlin and officials from the former SOKO "Inga" in 2016:

Germany - Germany - Inga Gehricke, 5, Stendal, Sachsen-Anhalt, 2 May 2015
 
There is not much online,to be found,about Martin H.
“So etwas hat keiner von uns je gesehen“
Der Festgenommene besitzt außerdem ein Haus in Bitterfeld, etwa 125 Kilometer entfernt von dem Ort, an dem Inga zuletzt gesehen wurde. Es handelt sich um ein abgelegenes altes Bauernhaus. „Bild“ zufolge stand das baufällige Haus lange leer, wurde lediglich nach der Wende von einer Filmcrew als Kulisse für einen Mord verwendet. Bis Martin H. kam und anstandslos den geforderten Kaufpreis bezahlte.”

(Only that the old farmershouse was used as film location,and that MH payed the price that was asked.From what I read,he didn’t live there,only worked on the farmershouse to fulfill,his sick fantasies.)

According to your time line, the residents of the Kurhaus Wilhelmshof would have been having dinner at the time when Inga allegedly disappeared. The residents of the Kurhaus are people with alcohol addictions.

IMO this could have been around dinner time for all the residents, so there would be few people around to notice anything. And Inga disappears.
 
Good news at last:

"The state police will reorganize case management," says Zieschang [Minister of Interior]. "For this purpose, the process is temporarily taken over by experienced investigative teams from other police authorities so that they can intensively evaluate the processes with a different and impartial perspective for further investigation approaches."

Case from 2019, headed by an officer without experience in murders, will be reviewed by another team.

Cases of the killed student Mariya N. in Halle and the unknown dead man who was discovered in a box in the Elbe will also be taken over by new investigators.

Inga's mother gave a 1H interview. Unfortunately it's in German and no subtitles.

Looks like she talks about their visit one year before and someone suspect or that made her fearful. I'll try to follow that with a German native member and through AM.

And it lasts almost ONE HOUR? when does she speak about the person who made her fearful?
Around 10 minutes, the mother speaks about a moment when she felt suddenly very bad, as if a band snapped, but she remained in the kitchen with the other women. (She has told this before in another interview.)
 
at 45 minutes. In hindsight the mother had a funny feeling that a person who was one of the suspects [ IMO she means POI, person of interest ] had been present '2 years ago'. This was a person living at the Wilhelmshof for a longer time.

a person who belonged to the circle of the suspicious ones

Past tense, apparently nothing came of it.

I don't think that's correct,there could be many visitors leaving around that time, employees who went home,after working their shifts,or just starting evening shifts, and supplies delevery.

Also horse back riders,riders, cyclists.
Hikers,you name it.Maybe you can fish there..hunters..

WH has a shop,where you can buy pottery,and a cafe.
They have animals,playgrounds,that attracts a lot of children,young families...
It's open for public, family,friends,campers,guesthouses,religious meetings..


On may the first,it a national free day (Tag der Arbeit) in Germany,so it was an extended weekend.

When you look at the pictures of Inga,she is wearing a t-shirt ,so the weather didn't seemed that bad,the family decided to BBQ -outside.

So,if you only think,it must be quite,because of residents having dinner there,I don't agree.
The search was in the woods,and residents were questioned later,good luck to that!


Beside that,we really don't know,if all residents showed up for dinner,and they were "questioned" on Monday?

Here is more insight,how that went..:

"But for investigators a nightmare?

A challenge. Hardly any of the residents could tell us precisely when they were where that day, when they last saw Inga. Or if they saw her at all. Assessing the truthfulness of the statements was very difficult due to the personality structures of the people there."
Ermittler im Fall Inga: "Wie aus der Welt gebeamt"

So,imo,drugs and alcohol patients statements are not reliable,also the director and WH employees,were informed on Sunday,about a little girl missing..
It doesn't add up,imo.Its seems very easy to hide,behind privacy rules and so on...

I have to admit that I didn't listen to the interview,just yet,but only got an impression,after reading some post on another forum,about the interview.

And if the mother said,she had a "komisches Gefühl hatte"
The translation is a strange feeling,not a funny feeling...

Okay,
Will try to translate bits by bits..

The reporter asked VG if she can tell something,about the settings of the relationships and the WH visits.

The mother of Inga tells a little bit history :
she has a very good friend for many,many years and as the years passed,they both started their own family but her friend -through her marriage- moved further away.
So,once a year,they tried to see /meet eachother,personally to stay in touch and spend time together.
they talked about it and VG friend had a friend,living at WH.
they were invited by this third family(also with children)in WH,”meet in the middle” ,so not both families had to travel so far away to see eachother.
A joint meeting,to speak off, a day at Wilhelmshof,they done it before and it worked out fine.The children felt very comfortable,played a lot with eachother and it was a pleasant,beautiful atmosphere.
The host family was very hospitable to and all felt good.

So at May 2nd 2015,they planned again a day to spend time with eachother at WH,Stendal.Every family brought something with them,cake,food,etc and they drove early afternoon,to meet up.
The children played,football ,we woman talked and we liked to spend time together.(02.28)


Reporter:
Can you tell about the last time point that you can remember,when you saw Inga for the last time?

VG:
I saw her the last time when I went into the kitchen,we decided to stay for supper and we,woman should prepare it in the kitchen.while others prepare the bbq with a few more additional things,the men wanted to have chair cushions at the bbq place,drinks there and everything else that was needed..
Inga went into the kitchen and that was the last time I had personal contact with her,I saw her again ,when I looked behind of the kitchen window.(03.25)
It could be that I talked later with her,at a later point — but what I always remember is that she said, “Mom, I am already grown”
It because I said and showed her the limits,where she is allowed to move around at WH,and that Inga might have said that,because the other children were older and Inga the youngest,trying to test her limits a bit and the older children had more space to move around and could go further away.So I told Inga ”stay close by,that I can see you and you can see me“ and in that context we talked about it.Inga also said “Mama,I am big too.”
Yes,but at the same time ,ofcourse,she also understood the limit that was set and I was used that Inga stick to it.(04.46)

Reporter:
Can you describe Inga,her karakter?

VG:
A normal girl,normal 5 year old girl.
Happy,playfull
Also smart,she was used to live with her older siblings,was able to communicate well with children, older then her,and maybe it was influenced a bit because of that because she already had older siblings.
She was the youngest and that is why she was more treated with protection and closer attention.She was no different then other children at that age,just things that every parents say,about your children, a normal girl. (06.04)

request to edit,correct and add.
It would be nice to have THE English translation on WS (I think)

In the meantime,a lot is going on — since the family and lawyers opened a new website,plead to open the case again,and thoroughly look at Inga’s file,in hope for answers..
Hopefully,their arguments about “ inconsistencies" in the file,second questioning of witnesses (that wasnt done) modern approaches in criminalistics,will be granted.


Victoria Gehricke - Inga’s mother:

Mother of the missing Inga: "I would like clarification – that is the most important thing"


STATE PARLIAMENT DISCUSSES MISSING PERSONS CASE

Almost eight years after Inga from Schönebeck disappeared, the mother of the then five-year-old spoke out in favor of new comprehensive investigations by the police. Victoria Gehricke told MDR SACHSEN-ANHALT on Wednesday that the investigations so far still offer sufficient starting points to be able to take a "completely new" look at the case. As an example, she cited the renewed questioning of witnesses around the Wilhelmshof near Uchtspringe in the Stendal district . The girl disappeared there without a trace in early May 2015.

Maybe Inga's mother is telling about this from her 2020's interview to Volksstimme:

Was ist aus den Kontakten von damals zu den anderen Familien geworden?
Sie waren einer extrem großen Bewährungsprobe ausgesetzt. Ich bin durch eine Zeit tiefsten Misstrauens gegangen und bin heute aber froh, dass ich erleben durfte, was eine tiefe Freundschaft aushalten kann.

What happened to the contacts from back then to the other families?
They were subjected to an extremely large test. I went through a period of deep mistrust and today I am glad that I was able to experience what a deep friendship can endure.
 
Nice transcription @worldwatcher

Can you listen 44:00 onward? I think it's where Inga's mother tell about suspicions.


Here it goes:
From 44.00
Yes, I had such a strange feeling, but only afterwards. So in the aftermath I had a strange feeling related to the penultimate time we were there.
But that has to do with people, that strange feeling,one person back then on the W Hof, who belonged to the circle of suspects, so afterwards I had the feeling that he was also there two years earlier and we had a very short episode, but I didn't overestimate it at the time and that Inga was very, very briefly missing when we all, were looking for her there before, and found her immediately.
(so basically correct,what posted before)

Also, VG is talking about her uneasy feeling,due to swimming pool,nearby.
afraid that Inga fall in there or anything.

The way I understand it,she warned her older children to be extra careful with the swimming pool and Inga ,during the ride to WH,on May 2nd.2015.

I knew I had posted it before, but where oh where? 2017. Report in Bild about an interview the parents gave to Stern. Here is the snippet:

Even when Inga had not yet disappeared, mother Victoria had a nasty feeling - when she was standing in the kitchen preparing a barbecue and Inga was playing outside:"I tried not to drive myself mad, but still it went so far that I thought: "You're buttering bread rolls while something might happen to your child."
