"It is unlikely that the documents were left there by accident, there is a good chance that she left them on purpose because she wanted to be identified. There is a possibility that her body will not be found, the river is strange, or that it will be in an unrecognizable state, so, let it be known that it was her who disappeared in that way. People disappear in different ways and sometimes it is not even known how they disappeared," Radovanovic told Telegraf.rs.

He points out that by leaving the documents, the woman most likely wanted to leave a trace so that it would be known that she had jumped, and not disappeared in some other way.

"Maybe she wanted a certain person to know, so that they wouldn't search for her," added the criminologist.

A security guard near Branko's Bridge in Belgrade called the police around 10:30 pm and reported that he saw a woman in the river. A police patrol boat was immediately sent out, but failed to find the woman.
