Berlin Police review 200 tips, possible getaway vehicle seized

More than 200 tips from the public have reached investigators in the case of the killed 13-year-old Lisa T., Tagesspiegel reported.

A spokesperson for the public prosecutor’s office said that these incoming leads are currently being reviewed, though no details regarding the quality of the information could be provided. Currently, incoming messages are still being collected.

Police Seek Witnesses and Secure a Possible Getaway Vehicle

Authorities asked witnesses who saw the car before November 8, 2026, in Berlin or Brandenburg to come forward. The prosecutor’s office stated on Tuesday evening that a possible getaway vehicle had been secured and seized.

Meanwhile, an eyewitness described to BILD seeing a car with Berlin license plates with its hazard lights flashing in front of the house for hours on Tuesday, the day Lisa disappeared, describing it as gold-colored and not a station wagon, believing it was an Opel.

Police warned that denunciation, fake news, and aggressive behavior carry criminal consequences. Police also addressed internet rumors about a blue bus from which children were allegedly approached, stating there is no actual evidence for this and the police cannot confirm these claims.

Autopsies Completed Without Confirmed Cause of Death

Legal medical examinations are still ongoing, and forensic experts have not yet determined how the 13-year-old girl was killed, Tagesspiegel reported. Prosecutor Michael Petzold said that Lisa’s body has been cleared for burial. Lisa disappeared a week ago on Tuesday, and her body was found on Sunday.

The autopsy for the 22-year-old German suspect, who died on Wednesday morning, November 11, 2026, at about 6:25 a.m. on a hospital intensive care unit following a self-inflicted gunshot wound, is also finished. Petzold said that the man died from a head wound and that there are no indications of third-party involvement. The suspect’s body was found on Sunday alongside the victim’s.

Prior Convictions and Unchecked Data Backlogs

Berlin prosecutors initially stated the man had no prior record because a Passau conviction had not yet been entered into the Federal Central Register.

The 22-year-old German suspect, who allegedly was a pedocriminal, came into the sights of the Berlin public prosecutor’s office at the beginning of 2025 due to child sexual abuse material, leading to ongoing investigations regarding the purchase and possession of child pornography contents. In March 2025, data carriers were secured during a search that remain unexamined to this day.

Authorities Clear House to Prevent Intrusion by True-Crime Tourists

On the advice of the homicide commission, the empty house in Altglietzen where Lisa’s body was found was cleared out to prevent intrusion by true-crime tourists, Tagesspiegel reported. Unresolved remains how and when Lisa was brought into the house located in the Bad Freienwalde district about 50 kilometers northeast of Berlin; according to WELT and BILD, the suspect reportedly knew the house because his ex-girlfriend’s parents live nearby. Meanwhile, local officials rejected claims that residents in Altglietzen ignored cries for help, emphasizing that unverified allegations place an unfair burden on the community.

Mayor Heidemann of Bad Freienwalde rejected the accusations, noting that citizens are ascribed complicity without a secure basis and asking for unconfirmed claims not to be passed on.

Police said that while other residents reported hearing cries for help in past days, investigators could not verify this on inquiry, having found only a single statement referring not to the town but to a nearby forest, with police examining whether Lisa T. may have been brought through the wooded area into the abandoned house.

Because the suspect is dead, legal proceedings against him will be dropped under statutory rules since criminal liability ceases with death, though authorities continue to reconstruct the timeline of events. The GdP police union emphasized: “Man ermittelt nicht gegen Tote, aber das bedeutet erstmal nur, dass sich kein Verfahren gegen eine Person richtet.” Traces and evidence will be evaluated and the crime reconstructed, with family and relatives deserving answers.

Memorial Services and Commemorations

A memorial service is scheduled in the Altglietzen church on Sunday at 6 p.m. “Er soll den Menschen vor Ort Raum für gemeinsames Trauern, Trost und Zusammenhalt geben,” it was stated. A funeral service was also announced on the internet for Sunday morning at a funeral home in Marzahn.
