 A little later Bückler appeared with Seibert, Fink and other journeymen with Elise and Amie and learned what had happened.They decided to visit the robber, and finally found him at the "Baldenauer Hof" near Morscheid, where he was killed by Seibert and Bückler on 22 December 1797.The murder of "Placken-Klos" by Johannes Bückler could also not be proven beyond doubt.
