A glacier near Zermatt releases a corpse |
Is the missing Tengalman a millionaire?
Zermatt/Mulheim – Will there soon be clear evidence that missing Dengelmann Group former managing partner Karl-Eriven Hopp († 58) is really dead?
The manager went missing without a trace while hiking the Klein Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland on April 7, 2018. He was officially declared dead, but his body has never been found.
Meltwater on the Stokji Glacier
Now the Stagge glacier near Zermatt has revealed a human skeleton. Since Wednesday’s report, there has been speculation in the region: Could the man who died on the glacier be the missing German businessman?

According to information from Blick, Valais canton police are still identifying human remains. The carcass may be a little old. Open when discovery is available.
Manager and experienced mountaineer Karl-Eriven Hopp went missing while hiking the Klein Matterhorn.
In the past, there was always doubt about the death of an experienced skier and mountaineer. No signs of an accident were found. Also, Russian Veronica E. (41), a secret agent and confidant of Haub, disappeared with the billionaire’s death.
With the help of telecommunications data, Dengelman’s defense determined, according to an internal report, that Veronica E. had been with Hobb for 30 minutes the day before she disappeared. After 24 hours, he is reported to have disappeared with his mother.
Hopp’s disappearance remains a mystery. Will his family know for sure now that the glacier is melting and exposing the skeleton?
Glacial corpses fill three sides
Apart from the Karl-Erivan hop, there are many others who have disappeared without a trace in the Valais region. As glacier melting accelerates as a result of higher temperatures, more corpses are coming to light. Swiss “Blick” reports that the responsible cantonal police keeps a three-page list. The missing people are from different areas:
►Since October 19, 2015, there has been no trace of Swiss-American dual citizen Matthew Nissli (then 20).
︎German Alfred Schmidt (49) disappeared on August 24, 2001: he wanted to climb Breithorn from Theodulhut, a few kilometers from the Stokji glacier.
►The Japanese woman was also last seen in Valais. Junko Sato (28) disappeared during a trek in September 2000 and is said to have set off alone.
Forensic pathologist Stephan Bolliger from the University of Zurich said “ Bligh“As the glacier retreats, it can be assumed that more bodies or body parts may be found.
First of all In early August, the Piper Cherokee crashed in 1968 after an initial melt on the Aletsch Glacier., a teacher, a head doctor and his son can find an accident. While bodies could be recovered shortly after the crash, technical equipment to recover the wreckage of a small plane was missing.
Due to the heat wave, the ice in the glaciers is melting faster than usual. Measurements carried out by experts from ETH Zurich at the end of July revealed that more glacier ice has already melted than would normally be taken by September.
