Dig Deeper: The Disappearance of Birgit Meier

Overall a decent true crime story, the point of view lies entirely with the victims family and investigation and keeps the focus on her. The interviews are relevant and the story flows easily through the episodes. A wild and kind of scary story.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is your run of the mill true crime story. It's so much more. Everyone should be loved as much as Birgit Meier.

I like to think that my family would have looked for me this hard. Honor to the family & loved ones of Birgit Meier.

It is a well known case in Germany, belonging to the so called Goehrde murders. There was a German TV which was much better than the docu covering the other murders as well. Netflix docus are too long in general, which is killing the suspense.

Stupidity Plus Laziness Equals Yet Another Unsolved Crime

This documentary has a better flow than most.

Do German police investigators receive any special schoolings? It would appear that they do not. German police investigating a crime wear no latex gloves. Why not?

Once again the police prove themselves to be both ignorant and arrogant. NO ONE just leaves, abandoning their beloved pets to starve to death. So much for two of the four police theories; of Birgit being a "drop out" or of her committing suicide. That leaves them, then, with death by accident and death "by crime".

Barely eleven minutes in and the police detectives are already considering whether or not to consult with a psychic.

We observe the police manhunt searching outside; literally beating about with old tree limbs.

Regarding the I. D. from the mailbox: Any adult knows that, without some sort of personal identification, one's ability to travel or get money from the bank is severely curtailed.

These Documentaries can easily be made in 1 or 2 parts. Netflix is making many 4 to 10 episode series, dragging the show unnecessarily. Speakers repeat same information in same shots as well as throughout the show.

Not only police were incompetent on this case, but also the second investigation team (group of criminal experts) was lackluster in proper investigation and searching the house. Everyone seemed blindly poked around the case. Even the victim's brother was busy for 27 years with his career and life, until he decided to check after retirement. At times he was making conflicting statements/information too!
