Clarity after months: Missing Viennese woman identified in Klosterneuburg

The identity of a woman from Vienna who has been missing since August 2025 was recently clarified by the police. According to information from 5min.at it is a 54-year-old Viennese woman whose body was discovered on August 3, 2025 in a forest area near Klosterneuburg. The identification was made through a DNA comparison after all other investigations could not provide any clues to the identity of the deceased.

The body was found by a walker around 4:45 p.m. in the stream bed of the Kellergraben. She sat on a large stone in a badly decayed and partially skeletal position. During the autopsy, which was ordered by the Korneuburg public prosecutor's office, neither the cause of death nor the exact time of death could be determined. However, the investigations revealed no evidence of foul play, which ruled out a crime.

Details about the missing person report

The disappearance report was filed in August by an adult representative of the woman who had disturbing information about her disappearance. This information was provided by today.at confirmed. A police appeal to the public to identify the dead was initially unsuccessful.

It was only towards the end of October 2025, after evaluating information from the population and DNA comparison, that the woman's identity could be determined. This clarification brings at least some measure of grief for the relatives, who have lived in uncertainty since they were reported missing.

The disappearance and death of this woman raise questions about overall safety and the importance of rapid identification in such cases. The investigation has shown that despite the gruesome circumstances, there are no signs of crime, which could be a small relief in this tragic case. As the mourning for the deceased woman continues, the search for more information and the context of her disappearance remains open.
