Chilling: they found in a freezer the body of a young woman missing 18 years ago

Eighteen years ago, a Croatian student disappeared and the mystery about his fate seems to have been elucidated: this Sunday, the police found a body in a freezer in the house of the alleged victim's sister.

Jasmina Dominic was 23 when she disappeared in 2000. Born in Mala Subotica, a town in northern Croatia, she was studying at that time in the capital Zagreb. The family reported the disappearance to the police five years later.

On Saturday evening, the sister of the missing girl, aged 45, was arrested in Mala Subotica as part of the investigation, told AFP a spokesman for the regional police, Nenad Risak .

"We badume that the body found in the freezer is that of a young woman born in 1977 and whose disappearance was reported on August 16, 2005," said the spokesman.

Police favor the trail of a murder. An autopsy will be performed to have more items, according to the same source.

The woman in custody is believed to have "murdered her sister in 2000 or 2001 and to have hidden the body in the freezer that was in a hallway on the ground floor of the house", according to a police statement.

According to the regional news website eMedjimurje, the body was found in the house where the victim's sister lived with her husband and three children.

Jasmina Dominic's father, who died a few years ago, told the press in 2011 that his daughter had announced in 2000 that he would leave for a cruise and that he was also considering living in Paris.
