A new coronial inquest into the 2005 death of German backpacker Simone Strobel in Lismore has heard from the detective in charge that 'nothing had changed' when police decided to prosecute her then-boyfriend 17 years after her death.
Simone Strobel was found dead after a night out in Lismore in February 2005.A coronial inquest into the death of German backpacker Simone Strobel has heard undercover police investigations and DNA testing did not uncover new evidence to link her then-boyfriend to her death.
The kindergarten teacher had been staying at a nearby caravan park with her then-boyfriend Tobias Suckfuell, now known as Tobias Moran, his sister Katrin Suckfuell and their friend Jens Martin.Yesterday, Detective Sergeant Dave Mackie confirmed his opinion that "it is probable that Simone was killed in the caravan by Tobias on the night of the 11th and 12th of February".
The inquest heard while a police search was still underway, one man told another Lismore local "they will find what they are looking for behind the devil's stones", referring to Aboriginal stones, in the vicinity of where Ms Strobel's body was eventually located. The inquest heard Ms Strobel's body had likely been moved to the recreational centre where it was later found through a hole in the surrounding fence.
