His friend Frasse and some by-passing human beings can see him being washed away, partly with his head below the surface of the water. Rescue divers are called upon and they search together with the Police, but it is impossible to find Loppan. The water is very rapid-flowing here. Frasse is taken in charge, he has escaped from a foster home and is wanted by the Police. One Saturday morning, two months later this case gets its unravelling.
Some human beings make a couple of policemen on patrol duty aware of a body in the water.
The body is soon brought to the quay and it is a male body, which probably has been in the water for a long time. In places seeweeds cover the body. The police estimate the length to about 185 cm and the head is covered by a dark hair. They estimate the age to only around 20 years old, the growth of the beard seems to be slow. The face cannot be recognized of course, due to putrefaction.
