Hitler's possible role in niece's death under scrutiny after documents raise questions about alibi, report says

Archival registers discovered by a Munich researcher challenge the 95-year-old alibi of Adolf Hitler regarding the 1931 death of his half-niece, Geli Raubal. The new documentation indicates Raubal's body was found on September 18, 1931, which contradicts the timeline and location previously associated with Hitler. While authorities originally ruled the death a suicide, these records revive international speculation about Hitler's possible role in the event. No further evidence from current reports has corroborated the researcher's findings or altered the original suicide ruling.
