Just a quick update on the German Boegerl case that you wrote about in the past. It is just going through the various news outlets over here that today about noon, Thomas Boegerl has been found dead in the fitness room of his home by the housekeeper. It seems that he hanged himself. Police found a suicide letter, but there is no word yet as to its contents.

I went online and found this news article as well. I have translated this for you using Google Translation.

 Rome, July 11 (TMNews) – The German banker Thomas Boegerl, widower of Mary Boegerl, committed suicide, hanging himself in his home. He writes on his online version of Germany’s Die Bild tabloid, which also confirms the local police. The man’s lifeless body was found by the cleaning lady around 12 today.

Boegerl‘s wife was kidnapped in May 2010 and his body found in early June. His kidnappers and killers have left no trace, and after 14 months on the mystery woman’s death remains unsolved.

I was watching this case because the father, Thomas, when he spoke to the media pleading for his wife’s return didn’t display oblique eyebrows of sadness like his children did, and while it wasn’t conclusive of guilt by itself, it was a huge red flag. Thomas had several red flags in his behavior, and now with this suicide, you have to wonder what truly happened.

I read the news this morning, and apparently Thomas left a suicide note that was to his two children — it was private say police and won’t be released.  It was oddly one sentence and it didn’t give any reason or motive.  He was, however, in the care of a treatment facility for depression.  He was struggling to keep his job says one of his co-workers.  He left the treatment facility for the weekend, went home and killed himself.
