Essentialism, Progressivism And Behaviorism

Where Sonja Engelbrecht?



Sonja Engelbrecht missing since the 11th April 1995

Loved the world is in order: Sonja with her cheerful mother.

A so-called "General disappearance", which ended after a thorough examination and observance of all periods with a seal to the official declaration of death. For Sonya's family, however, was this oppressive administrative act of a desperate attempt to look at last an end. A line under all the years of deepest despair, dashed hopes, the dwindling forces. Trying to find inner peace and a way back into a reasonably normal family life. That it can never again be normal. As it remains the first and last thought of each new day is Sonja - that picture beautiful blonde girl who disappeared 13 years ago in the middle of Munich. So much so scary without a trace, that in all the years never gave a specific search approach.

In April 1995, lived Sonja Engelbrecht (19) with her parents in Laim, attended the Economic Technical School and did an internship at a law firm. The beautiful girl with long blonde hair had many admirers, but no boyfriend. The student was like and often - but always in the protection of their clique. And she shared with her sister a small car, which had given the parents of their daughters. This brought the two off against each other when it was getting late.

So it was at night at 11 April 1995. Sonja had been with her friends in the pub "full moon" in the Schleißheimer road. At 2:30 clock accompanied school friend Robert (18) Sonja to Stiglmaierplatz. There, the 19 disappeared - year-old short time in the bushes, but was quickly back: "I feel observed. I call my sister now, "she said anxiously. Their ready cash for the taxi from 1.20 Mark would not have passed. Robert lent her his phone card, accompanied them even to the phone booth. But then came his tram. He said goodbye and drove away. How could he have guessed that it was goodbye forever ...

your sister called Sonia that night and not even any of their friends. In the days after police searched a large contingent from the surroundings. Neither Sonya's ID card, nor its keys were ever found - as well as their dress in the style of the 70s, for which she gushed. The slender, long-legged beauty was that night fully dressed in black and wore her blonde hair down to the leather jacket with long, pointed collar - a striking contrast.

with drugs and sects Sonja had nothing in mind. Their relationship to the family was undimmed. No sorrow burdened her soul and the school made it fun. So was the murder of Commission 15 days after her disappearance, the missing person case Engelbrecht.

The hours, days, months melted away. The school started again - with Sonja. The First Christmas - with Sonja. Her 20th Birthday on 4 April 1996, which should really be celebrated in style. Each day without Sonja was ready sharp corners and edges where the family hurt constantly. The worst was the helplessness. Family Engelbrecht and all my friends were active in their own way. They went to the radio studios, stuck hundreds Search by labels with Sonya's likeness on walls and street lamps. They rattled off all the bars, spent 8,000 marks for a private investigator unreliable, read books on cults and cult of Satan and were advised by fortune-tellers. In May 1995, opened the homicide parents: "We must assume that Sonja has become the victim of a crime. We can only wait until her body was found "

wait, wait, wait -. Unbearable for the mother who could not put up with Sonja's death. Bravely she kept saying: "As long as Sonia's body was not found, I hope. My heart tells me: Sonja lives and comes back. " They got in touch with like-minded pastors and parents of champagne. She bought a video recorder. So they took every missing item, any report about girls dealers and sectarian activities.

was assessed by their researches mother Engelbrecht actually strange parallels to the Maria Ward school in Nymphenburg, which also Sonja had visited earlier. Three students of this school were crime victims. Ingrid Sonnleitner (18) disappeared in January 1983. It was never found. In December 1994, the student Stephanie Karl (18) murdered. Her killer Mario evening (35) almost succeeded, disappear her body for ever in the waste incineration plant to leave.

The violent death of classmate had Sonja shaken. She had lost her innocence and has since grown to assess their mother even more cautious in dealing with strangers ....

was on every German border at that time in spring 1995, Sonja's photo, Interpol was on. Well friend, Robert was questioned again and again. Soon, however, the detective was sure he had nothing to do with Sonia's disappearance. Even the little garden of Sonja's family has been dug up - "because we do not we should allow people to see even any aspect," said at the time a police spokesman apologetically.

than 80 witnesses, relatives, acquaintances and friends, the "SoKo Sonja" back then heard. On 400 pages the preferences, dislikes, the little secrets of the girl have been documented. Also, the fact that Sonja was sometimes driven home just yet secretly opposed the deal hitchhiked to Laim. Therefore, the investigators believe that Sonja went on that night in the car of her killer. This theory, however, there is still no evidence.

Union Jack Knitting Patterns

Australia are pretty small, or not?

As I promised last time we let one of our travel stories from Stappel. The following is really a bit crazy, if I so think about it afterwards (and quite long as to be drawn to the letter).

As we have found work in Shepparton in March, we Ongoing Work has promised to end of May. We thought, great feeling better not. Then we can without any money problems the last part to make the trip. So we moved to a working hostel, which should give us all the jobs. Work opportunities were it on the walnut farm of the hostel owner (Nilo) and on the Aepfelfarmen his brother (Kent) and his father. For the hostel, we paid $ 130 weekly, said it was more a couple of rooms with beds, a makeshift kitchen and a bathroom without toilet paper. Have with us 12 people lived there and gave the first surprise there right after our arrival. Three of the people who worked there as well (two from Chile, one from Ireland) have already lived in Griffith with us in the hostel. Tom has played with the one Chile-Guy a couple of round-table tennis. Australia's just small when it comes to work and travel.

same time we arrived, two other German. Felix and Chris from Hamburg from Berlin. The four of us somehow automatically form a working party be allowed in the first days for $ 11 an hour jaehten weeds. After three days, then begins at last to the real work and we snip for around 18 dollars an hour on the farm of Kent on apple trees. Thus, it swings one that we work five days a week for Kent and Saturdays for Nilo. For the Sundays we thought about that but we can actually go fishing and right the first time we caught three fish. Which were then presented on the evening of course proud and beautiful tampered carved on the BBQ.

But the longer we are there, destso more we learn about the history of the hostel. About two weeks before we arrived there, eight people were run over, is a clinically dead, three have suffered serious injuries and the remaining four have escaped with light injuries and shock. Anyway, we learn so gradually that people here have lived in the hostel and are early morning run to work. On a road on which you as a driver early in the morning to see almost nothing can (because of the sun). But this fact seems to join out not to disturb and bangs with his minibus every morning with 100 things at exactly the work on this road. We were then told that he would have run over people. Of a backpacker who is clinically dead, was only a week here in Australia and has received his first job in Shepparton. Furthermore, we learned that apparently none of the eight people has made any preparations to sue Nilo at least for pain and suffering. But that's not enough. The join out takes out even the audacity of the other four people who are not in the hospital, but still can not work the full rent for the hostel to ask. I think with that background as everyone understands that our sympathy for this person steadily decreased. We do not know how much of the story is true, but you can not even something completely suck his fingers.

After nearly three weeks, we learn from Nilo, that there be in the next two to three weeks would probably not work, but then again determined. And he asks us whether we could still would remain. Hello? Sure, we stay in a hostel, which is totally fucked up, in a place where there is nothing to pay for it and still 130 dollars a week. The three tests that he had previously told us two days or that there would be enough work for two other people there (we asked for Tom and Alyson) was. So, the following plan forged and executed:

As the wife of the hostel owner who is responsible for the rent, Conveniently, much drinking and smoking, she forgets regularly collect the rent. Chris, Hannah and I've paid only for two weeks, although we have almost three weeks since. So the idea is to withhold payment of rent until we are on Friday from our salary Nino on Saturday and get our content from Kent. On Thursday evening, Fatima asks for the rent, we ignore them. On Friday we get our salaries from Nino and ignore again Fatima's request for the rent. She forgets to ask further, because it sits again in the backyard and drink with the others. In the night we packed our car and I get up extra early to handle even the remaining eggs and milk for pancakes. Saturday morning we go to Kent's farm and pick apples. Unfortunately, after work, we get only a check, we can redeem for cash at the parent. So we go back to the hostel, grab the stuff quickly the rest is still in the hostel run to the car (Chris has his own) and race off. It is met only briefly at the check of the mother, who fortunately does not know. is on the way to a nearby lake, where we will celebrate our triumph on Chris's car not once more. After some people have stopped, it turns out that the starter is broken. And unfortunately it's too late to remove the 2km to go mechanic. At the same time Felix calls and tells us that Nilo and Fatima have called the police. And we were only 15km away and can not move us from the spot.

The car could then stop over in any case the night on the road. The risk of being picked up by the police was simply too big. So we went to the people, before whose plot Chris his car is stopped and asked if it was ok the car overnight on their large piece of land to provide. The order had no problem and since they seemed so nice, we tried our luck and asked if we can not sit down and the van with them to spend the night there. Thus it was that we had a very tasty and discussion evening with three Australians who earn their living on selling in markets Floeten packs and other stuff. And thanks for letting us spend the night there, we have a few hundred of these flutes packs for them packed together (Floetenkram in bags, zutackern bag ready). The next morning we went to the mechanic, the car finished in two days could make. So we decided the resulting free days as a fishing vacation at a lake to spend 5 km. So we have our spy Felix quickly picked up from the hostel, the Nino has said that a friend from Sydney would pick him up and then are to the campsite. We spent three beautiful days of fishing before it then went with the two cars towards Adelaide.

And the kicker is now.

Hannes and I arrive in Darwin to visit the Sunset Market on Mindill Beach. A tourist attraction. We run so about the market and suddenly we hear this typical flute sound of the flute, we have packed together. We turn around and suddenly there is exactly the types in which we removed 3200km Darwin was staying in March. Which we have not recognized at first, but then were just as skilled as we are. Australia is as I said small, but so small? It was crazy really quite nice.

end of the story is that we have a few days for them could work on the market before we left for Cairns.

I found on the web in Google Earth is a function where you add routes, annotate and share. This is exactly what I did with our complete travel since early February. But it is all kept very clean informative.
But we will make the following entries in a few good stories of the journey from the pile and maybe I can even add images to the routes.

Because of the clarity I have divided the whole trip in different sections.
the link at the end you will see the different sections in a survey. On a more simply click View.
There is still the part of Alice Springs to Darwin (10 days or something) and you see only the points and no line. Will I possibly fixed yet.

I wish you a lovely evening, we were sweating at 25 degrees at night and therefore very hot days. We hope you everything is going well and that you could already enjoy the first summer days. Kind regards

peace
