New lead in the Rebecca case: Police comb through property in Brandenburg!
The missing person case involving then 15-year-old Rebecca Reusch, who disappeared from her sister's house in Berlin-Britz on February 18, 2019, is keeping the police and the public on tenterhooks. More than six years have passed since her disappearance, but the investigation continues at full speed. The emergency services are currently concentrating on another property in Herzberg, part of the municipality of Rietz-Neuendorf. The place has a special meaning because the grandparents of the main suspect, Rebecca's brother-in-law Florian R., lived there until 2005. This reports that Mercury.
The investigators mobilized a large number; a total of around 50 police officers were deployed. They were supported not only by cadaver dogs, but also by technical aids from the Federal Criminal Police Office. In a nearby wooded area on a half-hectare property, both drones and ground-penetrating radar were used to search for evidence in the ground. Although the operation ended in the afternoon, it remains unclear whether the searches will continue the following day. There is a dilapidated two-story house on the property that has been empty for a long time.
Investigations and new findings
The ongoing investigation is based on new information received by the public prosecutor's office and the police. Michael Petzold, a spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor's office, suggests that there are signs of possible movement by the accused. This could, like Daily Mirror reported to represent a decisive turning point in the case. Former criminal investigators, such as Christian Matzdorf, emphasize that the investigations continue in the background and that new search warrants are regularly issued.
The police try to collect clear evidence by building chains of evidence. This also includes evaluating cell phone data and interviewing witnesses. However, there has been no breakthrough so far, and investigators suspect that Rebecca did not leave her brother-in-law's house alive. During the search for evidence, bones were found in Brandenburg five years ago, but they were not connected to Rebecca.
The situation of missing people in Germany
However, Rebecca Reusch is not the only missing person case in Germany. In total, almost 10,000 people are currently reported missing daily news reported. These include numerous minors and young people, so the proportion of cases that last longer than a year is only around three percent. In most cases, almost 80 percent of missing people are cleared within a month. A dramatic picture that shows how often the police are called upon in such cases.
In the meantime, the investigation into Rebecca Reusch continues tirelessly. The debate over her possible murder and the hiding of her body dominates conversations among local residents and in the media. Christine Matzdorf's statement that the police work with probabilities and take new findings into account gives those involved hope that the case could still be solved.
Finally, it remains to be seen whether the latest searches can actually bring about the breakthrough that many have been hoping for for years. As the investigative team works hard, the memory of Rebecca and the pressing question of where she might be remains alive in the public's mind.
