Location of 13-year-old Lisa - neighbors heard cries for help from an abandoned house

13-year-old Lisa from Berlin-Marzahn, who has been missing for days, is dead. Her body was found on Sunday in an uninhabited house in Altglietzen in the Märkisch-Oderland district of Brandenburg. Police officers also discovered a man with life-threatening injuries in the building. According to the public prosecutor's office, he is suspected of being responsible for the girl's death.

According to investigators, his injuries are believed to have been self-inflicted and he was taken to a hospital where he is being guarded by police officers. The exact cause of the girl's death is not yet known. An autopsy should provide information about this. According to information from the German Press Agency, Lisa is said to have been dead for a long time.

The location is more than 50 kilometers from Lisa's home in Berlin-Marzahn and close to the Polish border. The Brandenburg police were informed on Sunday around 12 p.m. that unauthorized persons had gained access to a currently unoccupied single-family home. During the subsequent check, the officers found the body and the seriously injured man. A spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor's office described the discovery to rbb as "pure coincidence". There had previously been “no trace” leading to the house.

The “Bild”, citing its own information, reports that the owner of the house had a viewing appointment on Sunday afternoon. When he came onto the property, he discovered an open door and called the police.

A resident also reported to “Bild” about a suspicious car on the day Lisa disappeared. "On Tuesday, when Lisa disappeared, there was a car with a Berlin license plate with hazard lights parked in front of the farm for hours. That surprised me. Gold in color, not a station wagon, I think it was an Opel. The next day the car was gone."

According to “Bild”, other residents are said to have heard cries for help in the past few days. It is still unclear why no one alerted the police.

Lisa never came to school

Lisa has been missing since Tuesday November 3rd. According to the investigating authorities, the 13-year-old left her home in Marzahn in the morning to go to school. However, she didn't get there. A surveillance camera in the apartment building recorded Lisa leaving the apartment at 7:17 a.m. She then had contact with a friend. Her sister Linda told the newspaper about the loss of contact: "She didn't respond at all."

In the past few days, the police have been searching for the student with a large number. The investigation into the circumstances of her death is ongoing.
