Five years of Rebecca Reusch: police are suspected

The mysterious case of the disappeared student Rebecca Reusch continues to employ the German authorities five years after their disappearance. The last time the then 15-year-old was seen alive in Berlin in February 2019. Despite umpteen searches, their whereabouts remain uncertain, while the public prosecutor now speaks of the search for a body. Rebecca's brother -in -law, Florian R., who has so far enjoyed the presumption of innocence. A new aspect is now in the light: explosive emails of an official, the possible failure to investigate and a missed opportunity to clarify the case.

A police officer who wants to remain anonymous and is called Dirk B. in a conversation with Ippen.media expresses his concerns about the investigation. These in turn could possibly show serious mistakes. In his eyes, it is unforgivable that the Berlin investigators only tried to secure important cell phone data years after Rebecca's disappearance. Dirk B. is a police insider who critically questions the events for his colleagues.

important investigation steps and temporal delays

Compared to similar cases, the delayed request from the Berlin police on Google shows to secure cell phone data that the investigation was not optimally conducted. Dirk B. reports that the police only disappeared to Google in autumn 2020, around a year and a half after Rebeccas. In such a case, it makes it clear that faster processing of the data is essential in order not to lose potential evidence. The temporal distance from this application to the actual data transmission in spring 2021 raises questions.

In the two years in the following two years, the evaluation of this crucial information until 2023 - a worrying duration, considering that it is one of the most important missing cases in Germany. Dirk B. expresses his confusion about the long period of time that the Berlin investigation needed to secure data that might have been decisive.

shocking knowledge and public reactions

The information that finally came to light in 2023 caused excitement, as Florian R. was said to have been looking for strangulation practices in the morning of Rebeccas. This information would have had to flow into the investigation at an early stage and why it was needed so long to get to the public remains unclear. Axels Petermann, a former murder investigator, was horrified by the obviously unnecessary delays. He found that information about Flori's internet courses appeared four years too late and show the existing suspicions that may no longer be checked.

These acute accusations and the pressure on the Berlin public prosecutor to focus on the investigation into current and relevant information is the focus of the public discussion. Despite all of this, the public prosecutor refuses to announce detailed information and refers to the protection of ongoing investigations, while B.'s theory that it could be due to organizational defects in the investigation will continue to gain weight.

The more it is to hope that this long, confused case will be finally clarified. This is the only way to get an answer to their painful questions and finally find some peace after years full of uncertainty. The case is an urgent example of how important fast and efficient police work is in the investigation of missing persons.
