The case of the missing student Rebecca Reusch remains puzzling in Berlin. Five years after her disappearance on February 18, 2019, a police officer from another authority who wants to remain anonymously brings new bright spots into the investigation. He raises serious allegations against his colleagues in terms of possible failures and delays in evidence.

The cell phone data of Rebecca and her brother -in -law Florian R., which has long been considered suspect, are discussed in particular. Despite repeated inquiries, the Berlin investigators from Google needed over one year to access the crucial information. Dirk B. is surprised that the authorities only requested the necessary data in spring 2021, i.e. more than two years after Rebeccas. "In such a case, the data must be viewed as soon as possible," he says of his displeasure.

Investigations with delays

As B. has determined, the delay of almost two years in the context of one of the best -known missing cases of Germany is burdened with confidence in investigative work. It was found that Florian researched on topics such as strangulation practices in the morning of disappearance. These findings that came to light in 2023 might have to be processed earlier to secure critical information.

Despite all efforts and searches, Rebecca has not been found until today. The police spokesman referred to the progress of the investigation, but this is considered insufficient by Dirk B.. It requires a faster and more efficient cooperation between the police and tech companies such as Google to secure such valuable information in a timely manner. "Such data could have been received two years ago, and that could have been decisive for the investigative work," he explains.

The public prosecutor, however, is cautious about the allegations and explains that ongoing investigations cannot be made public. This lack of transparency leaves space for speculation about the investigation. Based on his experiences, Dirk B. has considered that the Berlin authorities did not do everything to receive the necessary support. He calls for the processes that often appear outdated.

What are the circumstances that led to Rebecca's disappearance? And to what extent do the investigators have responsibility for the delays shown? So far, the answer has failed, as is the clarification as to whether Florian R. is actually involved in the case or whether there are other aspects in the game. The uncertainty about the events that have occurred and the condition of the ongoing investigations suggests that this complex case may be experienced.
