Attacked on thursday, 22 june 1967 on the way between Grafenwald and Grafenhausen, north of Bottrop. Kroll was living in Grafenwald at the time.
10 years old.
Kroll lured her into a meadow and showed her pornographic pictures. The girl was horrified and tried to run. Kroll started to choke her, but suddenly there were sirens howling all around; the nearby cole-mine had change of shift, and the area was swarmed with miners returning home. Kroll managed to make way without anyone seeing him and didn't realize the girl was still alive.
Puetman's parents never reported the incident to the police, until 9 years later, after the arrest of Kroll.
