With the arrest of 42-year-old Tobias M. from Lower Franconia, Australian investigators are nurturing high hopes: Can they clarify the death of Simone Strobel from Rieden (Würzburg district) in Australia after 17 years?

Her body was found six days later – on a sports field just 100 meters away, hidden under torn branches.
