O Desaparecimento de Birgit Meier

Dig Deeper: The Disappearance of Birgit Meier

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.

What starts out as a missing persons case but then appears to be a murder turns out to be something even worse. That's all I can say without spoilers.

Most fun I've had watching a limited series (only four episodes) in a long time. You'll definitely be thinking about it afterward.

Straight-up documentary--no narrator, host or silly music. But what a story. Beautifully filmed too.

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.

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.

Go see this documentary if you are a true crime series fan. It is very well documented and the story and subject are very interesting. I was glued to the screen to see the outcome. It is also very sad and frustrating because you can see that the police is not doing their job very well.

Other reviewers said that it is too long. I didn't find it too long.

Thank you Netflix once again for bringing another crime documentary.
