The investigators denied these rumours, claiming that the story was invented by the defendants to protect their runaway comrades.
While warrants for their arrest were issued, none of them was captured. Nor was any trace found of the lost train. Until now…

However, there were a few puzzling details: she was wearing a 1940s two-piece German costume with an NSDAP brooch, whereas the documents that were found in her purse indicated that she had been born in Dachau in 1917, although she couldn’t have been much older than 25. Her name was Elisa Schneider and she was among the passengers on the lost train…
