Hautes-Pyrénées. The serial killer he raged in Bigorre?



Volcker Ecker, 48, the German truck driver arrested on November 17 in Cologne and suspected of having perpetrated 19 murders and attempts between 1974 and 2006 has it occurred in the Hautes-Pyrénées? If, for the time being, nothing can still affirm it, the gendarmes do not exclude it. They do not rule out, indeed, that it could have crossed, during one of his numerous displacements in Spain, the young woman whose body entirely naked had been found calcined, on July 4, 1994, on the edge of a parking area located in Peyrouse. A mystery crime still unsolved and for which investigators have, for several years, conducted numerous investigations both in France and in the Iberian Peninsula. If their research turned to Spain, it was because they had discovered near his body a gold earring that had been made in Cordoba. One of the two pendants, also found near her, could also come from the same region.

The autopsy had established that the victim, who was between 18 and 30 years of age and was of "Latino" origin, had had his skull smashed by multiple blows before being burnt with firewood.

Despite the establishment and the diffusion of a portrait-robot, then the reconstitution of the face of the victim in synthetic paste by the laboratory of medico-legal anthropology of the university Claude-Bernard of Lyon, the gendarmes never arrived to identify it.

The hypothesis of a prostitute murdered by her pimp was an advanced time. And, this is an element that challenges the investigators again today, as one of them explains: "Volker admitted to having killed several peripateticians, including two in Spain and two others in France, including one in France. Bordeaux".

The idea that he may have taken on board his truck one of the many prostitutes who work on the Spanish Basque coast, to then remove it and get rid of it in Peyrouse, sprouted in the spirit of more than an officer.

The latter therefore sent the complete file of this case to their German counterparts to carry out certain verifications such as the journeys made at that time by this serial killer from the former GDR.

"It will certainly take several weeks, even months, to have the conclusions of these investigations and whether or not he can be involved in this case," calculates a policeman.
