46-year-old Jürgen Conings disappeared on Monday 17 May after taking weapons and ammunition from the Leopoldsburg barracks. He has aimed, among other things, at virologist Marc Van Ranst, who was placed in a ‘safehouse’ with his family. After several large-scale searches, Conings remains untraceable for the time being.

After more than three weeks, a first real track seemed to have been found last week. A black backpack, filled with hunting ammunition, medicines and provisions. The federal prosecutor’s office is “80 to 90% sure” that it is Conings’s. This may indicate that the soldier is more heavily armed than initially thought by the investigators.
