A look at three different people suspected of leading police to the Franks' secret annex in Amsterdam—and why investigators crossed them off their list.
correspondent Jon Wertheim reported on a new look into the decades-old question that has dogged many readers of Anne Frank's diary: Who betrayed the Frank family and led a search team to their secret annex hidden behind a bookcase?
In analyzing the person who might have tipped off police to the location, the investigators adapted a standard law enforcement axiom in assessing suspects and looked for"knowledge, motive, opportunity." Pankoke's team wondered: Did the suspected betrayer know the location of the secret annex? Then, the team considered the motive.
But Pankoke said Van Maaren did not hold up as a suspect once investigators examined all the information they found.
