Eleven years ago this blog highlighted the case of a German woman who went missing in Cuba, and followed up a year later in 2014. Her name was Claudia von Weiss de Venegas.

| Husband and wife: Miguel de Venegas, Claudia von Weiss de Venegas |
On November 20, 1999 Claudia von Weiss de Venegas, disappeared while on holiday in Cuba. She left the hotel on a bicycle with $500 and was never heard from again. Her husband, Miguel de Venegas, circulated fliers about his missing wife in Cuba and for his troubles was expelled from the country. Ten years later in a Hamburg news publication, Claudia's case resurfaced and her fate remains unknown but Miguel hopes one day to find out what had happened to his wife, but he has given up on finding her alive.
Her grave was apparently discovered in Cuba in December 2023, and an undertaker who buried her 24 years ago confirmed her identity, but Cuban officials barred an exhumation to confirm dental records, and DNA according to the report below.
Earlier this year Dark Curiosities provided an overview of Claudia's case, and the mystery that still surrounds it.
