Rebecca Reusch misses: Google delivers a USB stick to the police
The girl from Berlin was last seen on February 18, 2019.
Rebecca Reusch
had stayed at the house of her sister and brother-in-law.
It is also the brother-in-law who
was and probably still is under main suspicion
for the
police in Berlin
.
He was targeted by the investigators because his testimony did not match the investigators' findings and he was even briefly arrested.
The man claimed to the police in Berlin
that he slept soundly
after returning from a party that morning when
Rebecca Reusch
disappeared.
However, during this period his car was
registered
by a license plate recognition system on the
A12
in the direction of Poland.
The family of the missing Rebecca Reusch, however, believes in the man's innocence.
