\nThe loss of a child is the ultimate tragedy, often referred to as the worst experience a parent can endure.<\/p>\n
On May 5, 1980, Marianne Bachmeier\u2019s life was forever changed. In the \u201980\u2019s, Marianne was a struggling single mom who ran a pub in L\u00fcbeck, northern Germany.<\/p>\n
Marianne\u2019s own youth was marked by misery and several traumas. Her father had been a member of the Waffen-SS, one of the most infamous organizations in Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n
Growing up, she had been raped several times by different men. At just 16 years old, Marianne fell pregnant. As a teenager, she couldn\u2019t raise the baby alone and decided to give the infant up for adoption. When she was 18, Marianne became pregnant a second time \u2013 and once again left her baby to an adoption agency.<\/p>\n
In 1973, Marianne gave birth to a third child, her daughter, Anna. Marianne was still a single mom, but raised Anna on her own.<\/p>\n
According to sources, Anna was a \u201chappy, open-minded child\u201d, but unfortunately she and her family would soon suffer a terrible event.<\/p>\n
In May, 1980, Anna and Marianne had an argument. The little girl decided to skip school and walked to a friend\u2019s house instead. On her way there, though, Anna was kidnapped by 35-year-old Klaus Grabowski, a local butcher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
