Interpol recently launched a new campaign to identify 46 women who were found deceased in unsolved cases across Europe, some of which date back several decades. This initiative is an expansion of the previous Identify Me campaign, which successfully identified the body of a woman known as the “woman with the flower tattoo” as Briton Rita Roberts, who was murdered 31 years ago in Belgium.
The organization is seeking public assistance to help give these women their names back and potentially solve these cold cases. Even the smallest piece of information could be crucial in providing answers to families and delivering justice to the victims. Interpol has published images of the women’s faces, as well as items such as jewelry and clothing found at the sites where their remains were discovered.
Among the cases that Interpol is focusing on is the identity of a woman found in a suitcase in the Netherlands, a young woman found in men’s clothing near Berlin, and a pregnant woman discovered in a forest in France. The oldest of these cases dates back to 1976 when the body of a woman was found along a highway in the Netherlands.
To further support this campaign, twelve high-profile female ambassadors from the participating countries have been enlisted to help raise awareness and encourage public support. The campaign has also seen Interpol sharing previously confidential information, known as Black Notices, with details about the unsolved cases, including biometric information and physical descriptions.
This international appeal aims to uncover the identities of these 46 deceased women and bring closure to their families. If you have any information that could help solve these cold cases, please reach out to the authorities. Your input, no matter how small, could make a significant difference in these investigations and help bring long-overdue justice to the victims.
