Fresh appeal over backpacker murder

The search for the murderer of a teenage German backpacker in the North 20 years ago has been narrowed down to a small group of people who had detailed knowledge of the remote forest area where her body was found, police revealed today.

Inga Maria Hauser, 18, was discovered in Ballypatrick Forest in North Antrim on April 20 1988, a fortnight after she travelled to the North from Scotland by ferry, arriving in Larne.
