Circumstances of Discovery

On July 24, 1997, the partially burned body of a woman was found by berry hunters buried in a pit in the forest hiking parking lot "Weissenbach" in the Präg district in the Heidelbeerbülhl area, we are about thirty kilometers from the Swiss border. She was left in the Weissenbach for at least several days, possibly up to two weeks. Establishing the exact cause of her death is almost impossible, probably due to the state of decomposition of her body, we only know that it was doused with a substance that accelerated its combustion, probably gasoline.

Doesn't seem like a match to me since I'm pretty sur Cécile had short hair at the time of her disappearance but I could be wrong tho
 
This case is one of Interpol's current "Identify Me" focus program between 6 European countries and Interpol to run an international campaign to try & identify 46 cases of unidentified women found across Europe www.interpol.int/en/What-you-can-do/Identify-Me/Countries-in-which-the-bodies-were-found/Women-found-in-Germany/DE03-The-burned-body-in-the-forest
That’s another case, not this one.
Your link leads to the case in Altena Bergfeld. Case 309UFDEU. It’s a more well known case.

You’re reacting in a thread for case 1817UFDEU in Todtnau. Unfortunately 2 woman/ladies burned in the same year.

Here is the other thread:
