The Little Mermaid is undoubtedly one of Copenhagen's most iconic statues.

She was exhibited for the first time in 1913, but only became world famous 50 years later in 1964 — when she was beheaded.

News of the Mermaid's murder went around the world. A true media circus arose when investigations failed to produce a culprit. And more importantly: the head was never found.

Let's go back to the morning of April 25th, 1964…

It was a worker taking a Saturday morning walk along Langelinie, who first discovered that The Little Mermaid had lost her head.

He searched the water but found no trace of the sawed-off head. After this, he alerted the police.

The beheading of the mermaid was treated as a real murder, and the investigation was led by the head of the homicide department, Detective Inspector Hornslet.

The police's technical experts examined the sculpture for clues and found a large number of fingerprints - so many, in fact, that they could not use them to determine the perpetrator.

But you  have knowledge that the police did not have in 1964: Many have tried to take credit for the murder over the years.

Perhaps the prints can be used to judge who was actually present that night?

Below you will find numbered fingerprints, as well as photos of the area on the statue where the prints were found.

However, it is immediately clear that not all of this evidence is relevant.
