Over 200 tips have been received by Interpol one week after the launch of an international appeal to identify 22 deceased women. 

These bodies were found in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands over a period of 43 years. Most of the women met violent deaths — some were dismembered, while some showed signs of abuse or starvation — with the most recent body discovered in 2019.
