Police had issued an arrest warrant along with a reward of up to €10,000 leading to his capture. Advertisement Interpol also confirmed that a Red Notice had been issued for his arrest after a request by German authorities. Then on April 26, nearly three weeks after the murders, several horrifying videos were shared of Meisner online. One showed the man maniacally laughing as he stared into the camera all as he wore a clown mask. Another posted the same day showed him stripped down to his underwear and pouring freezing buckets of ice water over his head. Advertisement Officials are still unsure if Meisner was behind the clips being posted onto TikTok or if they were posted on his behalf. This is due to his body being found less than 2,000ft away from the Schulze's home on August 5. 7 Nadine Schulze, 44, was able to call the police and scream for help down the phone but was tragically still killed by Meisner 7 Police stand outside the Schulze family home in the Rhineland village of Weitefeld Credit: Thomas Frey / Avalon Advertisement 7 The wanted poster for Meisner Credit: Koblenz Police Cops said the badly decomposed corpse was partially hidden in a underwater in a swampy farmland between Weitefeld and Neunkhausen in Altenkirchen. A firearm was also found next to his remains. Detectives said due to the body's condition it is nearly impossible to determine an exact cause of death or when Meisner actually died. Advertisement They are still investigating if he took his own life, died from his injuries during the killing spree or faced another grim demise. Meisner was a known criminal to police as he had previously spent time in jail for headbutting and stabbing his ex-wife. He was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison in 2011 after attempting to murder his ex-wife, Theresa. Meisner is said to have only stopped the attack after one of his sons stopped him from finding another knife. Advertisement Neighbours had also warned of the behaviour from Meisner in the years before the family massacre. Melanie Hoechtlen said she reported him for harassment in October 2023. She told Bild: "He ambushed my dog and me on the path. Then he came close and asked if he could lick me. "I reported him back then. He said he had been a lone fighter in his homeland of Kazakhstan and knew how to survive in the forest for weeks." Advertisement Police have announced they have ended their investigations into the murders now that Meisner's body has been found. Mario Mannweiler, senior public prosecutor, concluded: "The fact that the whereabouts of the suspected perpetrator remained unknown for months has troubled us. "The fact that the suspect is no longer alive was an obvious option for many reasons, but without a body, other options had to be pursued. In any case, I'm relieved that this has now come to an end." 7 Officials are still unsure if Meisner was behind the clips being posted onto TikTok or if they were posted on his behalf Credit: TikTok / Istasia78
