Adultery During Carnival: Detective Observations in Neuss

On Rose Monday Business Appointments in Cologne?

Last Rose Monday, our detectives were active in Neuss* to investigate a suspicion of infidelity. The client lived with her husband, the target, in Upper Bavarian Ingolstadt and was therefore too far away to verify whether her husband would actually— as he claimed—attend business appointments in Cologne that day. Until then, our client had harboured no specific suspicion despite her husband’s numerous recent trips to the Rhineland. But business appointments on Rose Monday in Cologne? On the most important unofficial holiday of the cathedral city, when business life largely comes to a standstill? That did surprise her. The hotel where her husband was supposed to stay was near a branch of his employer in west Düsseldorf, not far from Neuss, so the Ingolstadt resident commissioned our Neuss detective agency to observe her partner on Rose Monday.

Target Not Found | Local Knowledge of the Detective Team Decisive

After our investigators arrived at the hotel early, both began close-range investigation and the search for the target vehicle. However, it could not be found either in the hotel parking lot or nearby, making it highly questionable whether the target was even on site. The client had no clues about the rest of the day, as her husband remained very secretive. Accordingly, the operation threatened to fail at this early stage, as it seemed unlikely that the target could be recorded. In consultation with the client, our private detectives for Neuss decided to remain at the hotel initially to preserve the chance of identifying the husband if he left or entered the premises.

 

In the meantime, the client was to discreetly inquire, under the guidance of the investigators, where her husband was and what his plans for the day were. It took a while for the target to respond via WhatsApp, and he remained very guarded, but he did at least send a photo that provided the detectives with a crucial clue thanks to their local knowledge. The picture showed part of a dining table with a filled breakfast plate and, in the background, the interior of a restaurant. Since one of the two deployed investigators had attended several events at this venue, he immediately recognized it: the left-Rhine “Cafe del Sol,” just a few minutes’ drive from the hotel.

Female Companion at Carnival in Neuss-Holzheim | Detectives Disguised as Revelers

As the first observer from our Neuss private detective agency turned into the street leading to Cafe del Sol, he saw the target vehicle coming towards him and turning in the direction from which Observer No. 2 had just come. He immediately informed his colleague of the situation, turned his car, let the target vehicle pass, and then began observation, keeping his co-observer constantly updated on the location and travel direction. The drive lasted less than fifteen minutes and ended at an apartment building in northern Neuss, where the target vehicle was parked. The target got out on the driver’s side, and an unknown female, around her late thirties, got out of the passenger seat. With her own house key, she entered the building, followed by our client’s husband.

 

About an hour later, with the second observer already at the target, a taxi stopped in front of the house. Shortly after, the suspicious husband and his female companion left the building—this time in bright carnival costumes—and got into the waiting taxi. The journey led through the city centre to Neuss-Holzheim, where the traditional annual Rose Monday parade started at 11:11. Here, the targets were dropped off and merged with the crowd of revelers. As such an event was expected during a Rose Monday observation, our Neuss detective team also wore simple carnival costumes, putting them on during several stops at traffic lights, which allowed the observation to continue unobtrusively.

Displays of Affection During Festive Celebrations

The Rose Monday parade in Neuss is somewhat more restrained than in Düsseldorf or Cologne, with a rather family-friendly atmosphere. This may be because the locals celebrate more extravagantly on the previous day, Kappessonntag. The targets initially consumed only a small bottle of champagne each. They mostly stood side by side, singing, swaying, and talking. Crucial for our Neuss private detectives: occasional expressions of affection, such as kisses on the cheek, nose, and even lips.

 

After the parade, the celebrations continued in the Holzheimer multi-purpose hall. During several hours, the observed husband and his companion consumed a considerable amount of apparent alcoholic beverages, which showed in their increasingly uninhibited behaviour. Affectionate gestures became more frequent and intense, and playful calls like “Get a room!” were not lacking. At one point, both even disappeared together into the ladies’ restroom, which our two male detectives in Neuss could not follow. As they stayed there less than three minutes, a sexual act is unlikely. Doubts about the target’s extramarital conduct were already eliminated. The client only wanted to know whether her husband would spend the night with the unknown woman. As both returned to the familiar property in northern Neuss in the evening and did not leave again until the end of observation at midnight, this question could be answered with high certainty. We also now knew why the target was not found at the hotel in the morning.

Ultimately a Simple Case for Experienced Private Detectives

It is by no means a given that conclusive proof of marital infidelity can be obtained on the first day of observation. However, the public display of the extramarital relationship on Rose Monday provided excellent investigative conditions in this case. Speaking of client satisfaction is always tricky in matters of adultery, but our Ingolstadt client nonetheless expressed gratitude for the prompt assistance of our private investigators in Neuss.

To maintain discretion and protect the personal rights of clients and targets, all names and locations in this case report have been changed beyond recognition.
