Ötzi The Iceman was found 1991 by two hikers in the Austrian Alps. First police thought it was a lost hiker that died by freezing to death but then multiple tools from the copper age were found near the body and then scientists knew that this man came from the copper age.

This is indicates that the killer of Ötzi told what he did what won't lead to murder because as a murderer you want to keep the murders a secret. I found even more information that supports this theory. Like that this time of the copper age had bunch of sacrificial ceremonies and most of the sacrifices weren't there by will and that lots of sacrificial bodies were laid or buried in the mountains for the
