Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
Kürten reasoned that she had not attempted to fight him, and because she could not remember where he lived, he took her to the train station and walked away. The woman wrote a letter to a friend to tell her of the horrible incident, but since it was undeliverable, the letter was opened by a postal worker. The police were notified immediately. They questioned the young woman and then she led them to Kurten’s home, and then he was arrested on 24 May 1930.
(16 May 1930)
There are 3216 births, 3618 deaths, 1035 murders, 446 disasters and 1870 other events about 5409 people in 5986 places until today.
