Tatiana and her mother disappeared together. According to her stepfather, they went to shop at a large mall in Munich, but both vanished without a trace. He reported them missing two days later.

Shortly after their disappearance, Tatiana's stepfather came under scrutiny due to inconsistencies in his statements.

Searches in forested areas and gravel pits around Munich led to the discovery of a carpet and a doormat from the family's apartment, both stained with the blood of Tatiana and her mother.

In October 2020, Tatiana's stepfather was charged with manslaughter. He is accused of killing his wife Maria during an argument and then killing Tatiana to cover up the crime. Neither Tatiana nor her mother Maria has been found.

Recent Developments[]

In February 2021, Tatiana's stepfather, Roman, was sentenced to 14.5 years in prison following a trial that lasted several months.

Key evidence included two carpets hidden in a forest, stained with the blood of mother and daughter. Blood traces were also found on walls, the washer and dryer, in the underground garage, on Roman's car, and on his stockings.

While investigators believe the bodies of the two women may be in the area where the carpets were found, they have not yet been recovered.
