When Birgit Meier suddenly disappeared in August 1989, her family began a desperate search that didn’t end until 30 years later. The missing woman’s brother – none other than the head of the Hamburg State Criminal Investigation Office, Wolfgang Sielaff – makes it his life’s mission to solve his sister’s fate. The 4-part Netflix Original Series, DIG DEEPER – DAS VERSCHWINDEN VON BIRGIT MEIER tells the story, as true as it is inconceivable, of a crime that could only be solved through the tenacity of a man who stood up to the failure of state police work.
