June 1st and 2nd, 2001, are the last two days when the archeological and investigative works are being
continued.
On May 31st, 2001, a bullet jacket of most likely a 9 mm caliber was found among the human ashes. The core of the bullet melted which leads to a conclusion that it had been put into fire. Also, on one of the skeletons another fired bullet was found, most likely of a 7.9 mm caliber of the Mauser's system.
The above-mentioned items as well as dozens of other bullet shells have been found in the area of the barn. They will be subject to further
