Achim Michaelis was born in Alpen, Germany on July 11, 1963. Before coming
to the United States, Michaelis lived in Duisburg in western Germany.
In March 2001, Michaelis entered the U.S. in Atlanta, Georgia and had
been issued a temporary work permit, which indicates he expected to stay
in the country for an extended period working for TINAG, Inc. in Atlanta.
Michaelis arrived in Oxford on Thursday, April 26, 2001 with two companions,
Wenzel Hitzig and Arlene Melton. The trio checked into two rooms at the
Ole Miss Motel on Thursday evening and had not checked out at the time
of Michealis' death. The reason Michaelis and his friends were visiting
Oxford is not known at this time, but further investigation is expected
to uncover that information.
Among the items found on the body were an Ole Miss Motel room key, a
German-issued passport, assorted credit cards, and a loaded handgun.
