The Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Italian Police criminal proceedings have been opened to clarify what happened to the 19 year old girl that on September 4, 1990, she appeared dead hanging from a pine tree in Portbou (Girona)Evi Anna Rauter.
As explained by the programCrims‘ from TV3 in the second chapter of the case, Italian police have taken a statement from the victim’s sisterand has asked the program for an interview with the coroner, Rogelio Lacaci, who assures that “It can’t be suicide.
They have stated that the Prosecutor’s Office has six months to investigate the circumstances of the case and decide whether to file the case or continue with criminal proceedings.
Likewise, the ‘Crims’ team also has located a neighbor of Portbou who lived near the pine tree where the victim was found, who states that he heard young people fighting and a girl crying, although he explained it to his neighbors and his family, but not to the Civil Guard or the investigators who did not approach him either ask those who lived in that building.
In Girona and Madrid, the Civil Guard has started the procedures to identify the victim, and they collected personal belongings from the young woman, “to try to recover prints and compare them with those that the investigators took from the corpse”, although the family has no doubt that it is her.

On September 4, 1990, around 8 a.m., a neighbor of Portbou found the body of the young woman –with the same clothing he was wearing– hanged near the cemetery and alerted the Civil Guard.
The identification has been possible because, after the broadcast of an episode of the Austria TV program ‘Ungelöst’ (Unsolved) about the case – with the help of the ‘Crims’ team -, the television network received an email of an Italian woman who pointed out that the girl could be Evi Anna Rauter, something that corroborated the parents of this through photographs of the body carried out by the Civil Guard and the coroner.
