After two decades, Interpol's "Identify Me" cold case campaign has successfully identified "The Woman in Pink" as Liudmila Zavada, a Russian national found murdered in Spain in 2005. Turkish authorities matched her fingerprints through their national biometric database, bringing closure to one of Europe's long-standing mystery cases. This marks the third successful identification through Interpol's collaborative initiative aimed at naming female victims across Europe.
