Rebecca Reusch from Berlin has been missing since February 2019, and her family is now talking about previously unknown details in a TV documentary.
The missing student's father describes an oppressive moment.
Berlin - Can the missing person around the Berlin student Rebecca Reusch still be clarified?
It was almost three years since the then 15-year-old disappeared, and her family is still fighting to find out what happened to her.
In a moving TV documentary, the girl's parents tell what exactly happened back then.
Brigitte Reusch had already reported in episode one about a call that was pushed away.
In episode two, Bernd Reusch now describes an oppressive situation between him and the girl's brother-in-law.

The TV documentary also addresses the arrest of the young man, the girl's brother-in-law. He was arrested at her parents' house ten days after the then 15-year-old disappeared. The arrest of his son-in-law was a shock for Bernd Reusch. “We were all sitting at the table, stunned,” said the missing person's father. Their older daughter Jessica collapsed shortly afterwards. Shortly afterwards, the couple's house was examined, at which time investigators had already assumed that Rebecca could not have left her sister's house alive.
The missing student's family believed the young man's innocence from the start.
As Brigitte Reusch explains, Rebecca Reusch had very long fingernails when she disappeared.
“Those are really bad guys.
You can hurt someone with that.
He would have had something, ”said Brigitte Reusch.
“I know she would have struggled.
Even if it had been the brother-in-law.
But that's not him, ”the mother of the then 15-year-old continued.
Shortly afterwards, the girl's brother-in-law was released again.

But the second arrest follows only a few days later.
As Martin Steltner from the public prosecutor in Berlin explained to the press at the time, the router's evaluations were not in line with the young man's statements.
At an initial interrogation, he said that he went to sleep immediately after coming home.
However, the router's evaluations made it clear: the girl's brother-in-law had watched porn on the cell phone after arriving at home.
But the young man's two freeway journeys are also said to have aroused suspicion among investigators.
A discovery in a wooded area also raises doubts.
Fibers of the blanket that disappeared together with Rebecca in the trunk of the raspberry-colored twingo of the brother-in-law also seem suspicious to investigators.

The brother-in-law's guilt is still ruled out for the family.
Brigitte Reusch reports in the TV documentary that she was approached by an investigator about the option of a possible accident.
“Yes, it could certainly have been an accident.
But do you really believe that my son-in-law buries my child somewhere like a dog? ”The couple was then called to police headquarters.
There, investigators had asked the two to speak to the son-in-law about the corpse.
"My husband should ask him to tell us where our daughter's body is," explains Brigitte Reusch.
Bernd Reusch then tried to talk into the young man's conscience.
“I then told him to say please so that we can bury her.
And he just kept shaking his head.
It has nothing to do with it.
It wasn't him. "
