    Wtf does this mean? It’s buried at the end of the article.

    A few days after the girl’s disappearance, Berlin police said in a statement that there were “indications” that the woman was “in an exceptional psychological situation.”

    Does it mean suicidal? The earlier mention of “not assuming additional parties were involved” seems to indicate as much, but intentionally vague, euphemistic language makes it hard to tell.

    Or does it mean she was being held and/or tortured? That someone was after her…??

      Could be some other form of mental breakdown, psychosis or whatever. Not everyone who commits suicide is actually suicidal, which is usually a state that can last years. Maybe she even thought she could fly or slipped within her confused mind. In the German

      “No third-party blame can be assumed,”

      This, at the current state of the investigation, means that they do not assume any third party involvement in her death.
