Interpol, the international policing agency, says increased global migration and human trafficking has led to more people being reported missing outside of their countries, which can make identifying bodies more challenging.

Interpol secretary general Valdecy Urquiza said: “This latest identification is more than just a milestone in our ongoing campaign – it’s a testament to what we can accomplish when nations stand together.”

Janny Knol, commissioner of the Dutch National Police, said: “In combination with perseverance of Dutch and German detectives yet another woman has been given a name.

“Our thoughts are with all the families who have finally received answers about their loved ones and with the families who are still waiting for these answers.”

The first woman to be identified as a result of the involvement of the public through the Interpol-coordinated initiative was 31-year-old British citizen Rita Roberts, who was murdered in Belgium in 1992. Her family identified her after seeing a photograph of her tattoo in a BBC News report.

A woman found dead in a poultry shed in Spain in 2018 was then identified as 33-year-old Ainoha Izaga Ibieta Lima, from Paraguay in South America.

Last month, a woman whose body was discovered by the side of a road in a different part of Spain in 2005 was named as 31-year-old Russian national Liudmila Zavada.

Police are still trying to find the identities of another 43 women found dead in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain.

The majority of them are murder victims, believed to have been aged between 15 and 30 years old. Most died 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years ago.
