Additional personal information:
Janine Kuehn is my daughter. She was only 21 years old, when she was stabbed in broad daylight just in front of her doorstep. The killer fled with a car which belonged to his brother. The police arrested the killer's brother therefore and recognized the mistake some days later. The police hunt was unsuccessful because the killer had sufficient time to escape abroad. From Moenchengladbach und Kaldenkirchen (residence of the brother) you will be with a car in a few minutes in Netherland and then in 2 - 3 hours at Airport Amsterdam. A TV program called "Aktenzeichen XY ... ungeloest" ("File XY ... unresolved") was without success. The killer ASSAR had left at that time Germany and Europe long time before. Weeks after the crime an international warrant of arrest was issued ... too late at all.
Assar was an employee of McDonald's in Moenchengladbach. Maybe he exercises a similar activity in catering trade somewhere else in the world.
It is also possible that he fled to Afghanistan. Assar had told some colleagues of McDonald's that his uncle is a local leader of Taliban. In the year 2000 he was absolutly safe in Afghanistan.
Assar's parents live near Munich/Germany, but they didn't give any useful lead. Maybe Assar will contact his parents somtime in the future or he returns to Germany under false name.
Useful info should be given to the above mentioned offices and police stations. Please, give me an additional information via email. Write to me.
Thanks
