In recent developments concerning the case of 16-year-old Laura, who is currently in Germany, it has been reported that her mother has not submitted required DNA samples requested by the German authorities. The request for voluntary DNA submission was extended to Laura's parents in Patras, Greece, but no compliance has been noted so far. While her father remains in Germany, he also has not provided any DNA samples, raising questions about the investigation's progress and potential implications.

The case has received considerable media attention, particularly due to the collaboration between Greek and German law enforcement. Journalist Vasilis Lampropoulos highlighted that the absence of DNA evidence from Laura's family could be a significant factor in the investigation. Despite the lack of confirmed DNA samples from them, it is unclear whether the father has submitted samples in Germany. This uncertainty leaves the case hanging in ambiguity as the authorities strive to gather more evidence.

In the wake of these developments, a video conference between the Greek and German police is set to take place, organized under the auspices of Eurojust, the European judicial cooperation body. This meeting aims to facilitate communication and coordination between the involved nations, as they work together in the ongoing investigation into Laura’s incident, which has garnered interest across Europe as a cross-border legal matter.
