I'm going to help with some of this information because I do think it is important and have not come across other American youtubers covering her case. There was A LOT of misinformation happening when she first disappeared, so I do want everybody to know; 1. She did not run away to Copenhagen for a couple of weeks prior to this incident. After the police made this statement, her parents made sure to correct it. The damage had already been done and most Danes were under the assumption that Emilie had just run away from home, it was gut wrenching reading all the comments online about her at that time. Everybody thought she was a troll and just wanted attention - people can be very disgusting and this incorrect information released by the police backfired awfully when it came down to the investigation. 2. The whole country was behind trying to locate her, once everybody understood that she was in fact missing. For a small country, they had THOUSANDS of people that came and searched. You can find pictures of the walk everybody went on with their candles/lights to memorialize her. They walked from the train station to town, the walk she wouldve taken alone to get home. The whole country mourned. 3. You are correct - her cause of death has never been released, I don't think it ever will be. 4. The place where her body was found is not a place often frequented or an area that a random person would've just known. Due to this, most do believe that the assailant is someone that grew up in that area or lives there. 5. They absolutely had tunnel vision on the guy that they kept going back and doing searches by. They destroyed his home, absolutely. Destroyed his life in that town. 6. Do not ever throw any hate towards her friends that let her walk home alone. This was an extremely normal thing to do in Korsør at the time, walking to your destination is more normal than owning a car. Walking is peaceful and nothing ever happened in Korsør, until she was taken. Also, although I'm from Korsør, I moved to America the year before her disappearance, so I followed along online but saw everything because all of my Facebook friends were posting and sharing every single article that came out. I hope this gets solved at some point, I hope her family and my past friends receive closure.
@@RachelShannon Thank you for covering her case! That means a lot and I was very impressed with your in-depth details. It's so crucial for an investigation to be covered correctly and you covered it with class. Thank you.
Emilie lå ikke i den sø i 5 måneder. Det er noget i denne her sag , der ikke hænger sammen. Der foregår ikke nogen efterforskning, det er et coverup af politiets inkompentence. Politiet har svigtet deres positive forpligtigelser til at efterforske rettidigt og omhyggeligt, jf. EMRK artikel 2. Så hvorfor har advokaten ikke stævnet politiet?
When I was a teenager adults would say, “Nothing good happens after midnight”. I have 2 teenage boys and I tell them, “Nothing good happens after DARK.” It’s true. We are losing our innocence.
Hey thanks for covering this case from Denmark! No biggie but just a little correction: the language of Denmark is Danish, not Dutch. Dutch is from the Netherlands 🥰
You are absolutely right! I was confused for a minute there: Dutch??? But hey ho, nice to have focus on Emilie Meng´s case. Police botched that case so badly, they will probably never find her killer/s. Poor girl, and her poor family! I remember that for some reason the case was not taken seriously by police for the longest time.
This case stuck out to me! First of all, we don't have a lot like these in Denmark, and I had just become a mum, three months before, so for some reason it stuck to me... Which also makes my son a reminder of how long it has been, every time I hear about the case...
She gets so much information wrong including pronouncing things like the make of the van. It's why there are less than 100k subs even though she's been doing this good few years now
@@HighPriestess44 I love her videos! She does the best with the information she has. 100k subs is impressive.. most true crime UA-camrs never make it to that!! She’s always been one of my favorites!!!!!
@@HighPriestess44 So what she misprounces a few things. All of them do. I wouldn't even attempt! The rest of the population that doesn't speak the language, doesn't even know anyway! Maybe you should focus more on the story and the victim, since that's why we're here.
Another young girl just went missing here in Denmark close to where Emilie disappeared - thankfully the police is using a lot more power to find this girl than with Emilie 🙏🏻 Hope she comes home safe. Also we speak Danish, but thank you so much for covering her story.
"I honestly don't feel bad and I hope he's rotting in prison" girl I FELT that and agree completely- I always really appreciate how passionate you are when telling these cases, because it validates what I'm feeling throughout
There's an ongoing case right now that connects heavily to this case. they have a 32 year old man in custody for kidnapping and assualting a 13 year old girl recently, and suspect him for abducting and killing emilie too as well as assaulting another girl last year. Horrifying to know that these animals walk around in little Denmark.
I was friends with several of Emilie's friends. Growing up in Korsør myself which is a very small town - Emilie was the kind of girl that nobody talked bad about. I never heard a bad word, never felt a bad vibe. This changed my hometown. I think about her bestfriend all the time, I hope she's okay because they'd been bestfriends for years. Her bestfriend went through so much terrible shit after her disappearance. It breaks my heart.
There is evidence that she might have been abducted and later killed by a group of young men. These were spotted near the road she was supposed to take. No body seemed to care about telling that this road she took actually lead into a ghetto called 'Motalavej'. On the morning she dissapeared two individual people a recident + a old man living at nearby nursing home, both heard a disperate female scream and then multiple male voices. The older man at the Nursing home described the men as being some the "the boys" which he normally uses to refer the arab boys in the area. In the following search for Emilie many of the young immigrant males living at Motalavej came up to the people searching for Emilie, and told them "she has already been moved" and "you are not going to find her alive". These reports were confirmed by many members of the Missing People's crew who heard this several times. In 2020 police began hunting for DNA profiles from the men in the area and there is more and more evidence that suggest that this is the likely case while the other rumours have nothing to do with the case. There has several attacks, sexual assualt, and hate crimes comitted by primarily immigrants residing in Motalavej over the years. It is baffling that no media have been able to connect these stories.
@Factual I understand that you are calling Moatalavej a "ghetto". I literally lived there for 5 years, they're some of the cheapest apartments in Korsør and I didn't necessarily grow up with my parents having money. I'd like to ask you - are you from Denmark? Although Motalavej might be considered the "ghetto" of Korsør, it is genuienly not like a ghetto. Yes there's been a couple of stabbings, most arguing and fights that happen, happen between the Muslims and their families. While the groups of Muslims (yes you refer to them as Arabs, I can guarantee you that everyone in Korsør just says Muslims) may end up being larger groups, they are not scary/dangerous groups of people. One of the the most "popular" guys in Motalavej slapped my ass one day as I was walking by, I turned around and instantly slapped him, left the rest of the group laughing at him and that was it. My main point is that these groups are not murderers. Most of them DO NOT own cars. The area Emilie was found was miles away, in a secluded area that you'd only know, if you'd been there or were from there. She was not found in Korsør. Personally, I'd be extremely, extremely surprised if it ends up being any Arabs from Motalavej that went as far as killing her. I walked through that neighborhood and lived there for years. They are not scary individuals, just groups that try to seem harder than they are. I was literally 12 or 13 when I slapped him. They're not dangerous.
@@Adorably_morbid Dear Rebecca. Yes I am Danish and yes I do have information from other residents from that area. What you are saying is a bit problematic. You are somehow using your prior experience from living in the area to justify that all these people must be innocent. This is not how it works. It would be similar to ask a friend of a serial killer to ask if the person could ever kill everyone, and then remove suspicion based on the friends point of view. You haven't met all people from Motalavej, so you have arguments that could deem every single Muslim from the area to be innocent. Just as well as you cannot deem every single Danish person innocent just because you know a few or have experience with them. On the contrary, you litterly described how some of these guys disrespected women and slapped your butt in front of his friends. attitudes towards women liek that, are exactly what motivates people to just assault women. This is a problem in Denmark were sexual assaults performed by unknown Muslim men are overrepresented because a lack of respect of how western women dress. I have multiple female friends who have been gang raped by Muslim men every time... How do you know the guys who slapped your butt, might not have gone further if they could have gotten away with it? - You don't! First of all Motalavej has been considered a Ghetto by the standards in Denmark - it has later been removed from the Ghetto list. The reason why I write it like that is to explain to any English speakers what is going on. This is not relevant to the story, nor is it if I refer to them as Arabs. It does not make my comment any less valuable or incorrect, as there are also residents at Motalavej from other Muslims countries and other Arabs who are not Muslim. "My main point is that these groups are not murderers." - how do you know? Is the overall group also not murders? There has been plenty of cases where danish muslims have killed danish women before. Aya Bonde Jensen was killed by her Pakstanian man who tortured and groomed her for many years, same with Maria Louise Fiedler who was killed in fornt of her own daugther. These are just a few of many cases... "The area Emilie was found was miles away" - and so what? Did it occur to you that a person getting rid of the body of course would move it away from the alleged scene of the crime? Of cause! BTW the scene is not a place you would only know if you had been there - it was close to a main highway and was easy to access. Checking from maps and google earth are easy tools to find dislocated areas to look for. "I was literally 12 or 13 when I slapped him. They're not dangerous" - here you litterly confirm that a little girl are still being targeted by such people. Besides that, in recent years there has been multiple shootings, stabbing, and sexual assaults from this group in particular, so saying that they are not "dangerous" is a clear underestimation. Besides all this, why do these people go around and taunt and try to humiliate the people searching for Emilie by saying all these things about her not being alive and that she has been removed?
As a dane, I remember when this happened so clear, and how heartbreaking it was that a young woman can't even walk home an early morning without anything terrible happening. Sad how little coverage this case has gotten internationally (as far as I know at least..), so thank you so so much for covering this! I really hope the murder will be found and rot in prison forever. Also so sad how the police handled this
Sagens hovedomdrejningspunkt. er politiets svigtende efterforskning. Police negligence. Hvad jeg ikke forstår er, hvorfor har advokaten ikke stævnet politiet? De har svigtet efterforskningen.
I'm Danish, and I see that some misinformation has already been corrected but I also just wanna add; - It's not just that nothing happens in Korsør and it being a small and safe city. Denmark has an average of 39 homicides per year with most of them being men killed by men. Furthermore, for women most is by their partner or someone they knew. - Also, around July 10th the sun rises around 4.30am in Denmark, and around 4am it will already be starting to be light outside. Walking alone around 4am a summer morning in Denmark is not only extremely normal but also considered safe regardless of where you live.
Men det er ved at ændre sig. Jeg føler mig ikke speciel tryg klokken 04:00 om morgenen. Bortset fra det, så regner jeg med at Philip Patrick Westh bliver dømt for mordet på Emilie Meng.
this is a very interesting case of that of course I haven't heard of. I really appreciate your coverage of this. RIP Emile😭 I hope Rachel and everyone has a great evening and week! 😊💙❤️👏
Really interesting video, Rachel! You did a fine job translating from Danish and organizing this tragic story into English….the information is so deserving of attention in as many languages as possible! I definitely do not mean to make light of the very sad set of circumstances I just heard, nor do I wish to undermine the purpose of the video as a way to spread important information. Having said that, it is always very refreshing to hear a new story from another country as opposed to the very familiar stories we hear so often. And again, it’s fantastic to be able to spotlight new victims and their families…thanks to all of Rachel’s amazing hard work!
There is a reason true crimers don’t cover other countries crimes very much. If I were one, I would never cover cases in other countries. 1: language translation. 2: media in other countries is not as thorough. 3: too many privacy laws. This all adds up to very little details and boring stories. The US is incredibly transparent with its cases.
I think you mean the articles were in “danish” not Dutch. No-one in Denmark speak Dutch, that’s the language they speak in Holland - an entirely different country ☺️
My exact words: Danish people come from Denmark, and they speak a language called Danish. Dutch people come from The Netherlands, and they speak Dutch.
There is a chance that we got him. They just arrested a 32 year old man for kidnapping a 13 year girl while she was riding a bike in a rural area. After Emelie Meng was found the police searched for a bright coloured car, probably a Hyundai I30. Which were captured on cctv at Korsør Station. It has just been known that the man in the new case in 2016 owned a bright coloured Hyunai I30. The same MO. The same area. The same car. This could be him
It drives me crazy when people hear screaming and don’t do anything to help at the moment. I’ve seen it over and over again in some of these cases. So sad
This is absolutely disheartening, my dad worked his way up the ranks to detective when I was growing up, he was dang good, his whole motto with his colleagues was “we rule NOTHING OUT!” I sent him the link to this a few days ago and the man was outraged, then almost in tears thinking it could happen to ANYONE, his family or a girl he considered family after spending so much time with her family getting to know her, listening to their stories, eventually breaking down with them, kids are his trigger as well as the helpless elderly. He could NOT BELIEVE the conduct of these lazy, sloppy, undertrained “police” and all their stupid assumptions that she “ran away, and digging up and searching someone’s property FIVE TIMES, they would have ordered the man to leave and gotten all the evidence they needed in one swoop, camera’s, videotaping, it would have kept my dad up day and night until it was solved. He said that whole force should be shamed, fired and or retrained because their huge lazy assumptions cost a family from seeing justice through, the statistics are if a crime isn’t solved within the first 90 days, unless the FBI steps in, it won’t be solved. I’m NOT AT ALL VICTIM BLAMING BECAUSE I MADE CHOICES LIKE THIS BEFORE GROWING UP THAT I GOT A REAL “TALKING TOO” FOR But now as a parent with infant twin’s myself I understand where he was coming from. He also stressed into us “Look I know you’re all going to put yourselves in danger because you don’t SEE TGE DANGER, your brains aren’t even done developing until you are 25.4, SO ANYTIME you need a ride, you and your friends need a ride, I WILL NEVER LECTURE YOU, EVER, I WILL GET YOU ALL HOME SAFE DAY OR NIGHT, you have no idea the regret I see on a daily basis by what was a tiny error in judgement that turns an entire generation of a family to be ripped to shreds, just call me!” I heard that loud and clear and he kept his word, no lecture’s just “thank you’s!!” He was all of my friends Taxi at 3am!
You’re right. There’s so many unforgiving mistakes made in this investigation by Sydsjælland & Lolland-Falsters Police, who handled Emilie’s disappearance. Fortunately it seems that they have learned from their awful mistakes as a 13 year old girl was kidnapped 4 days ago in the same city as Emilie went missing, and they managed to find the girl within 27 hours and did a very professional and extensive search for the poor girl, including getting immidiate help from the public, unlike with Emilie. It’s just sad that a girl’s killer may never be found and her parent’s never get “peace” because they did the worst job possible.
@@rubyy_922 thank you for taking the time to correct a non English speaker, if you ever decide to learn Swedish I'll be the first one to correct you😁🥱🤯
I find it hard to translate a comment on Facebook or a page on Google never mind a whole article. 😅 you are a diamond , well done and I appreciate all your hard work xx
Hi! Thanks for covering a case from Denmark! You did a great job covering the case :) I’m a Dane and I remember this case - it was awful and disappointing how the police handled the case. I remember Christmas Eve 2016 when we learned that the body of Emilie most likely had been found - in Denmark we celebrate Christmas on the 24th, so to Emilies family to learn her body had been found on a day where you are supposed to “hygge” with your familie must have been devastating. Also, the body was found in a lake not too far from where I grew up and still lived at this time - which just left me with a sick feeling in my stomach. But a friend of mine grew up even closer to the lake, and she used to play there when she was a kid. Her and her family told me that it has had to be someone who knew the area who had dumped the body there, as only people familiar with the area would have known how secluded the area really is, and that not too many people comes there. The police never disclosed how Emilie lost her life. In regards to the police we have pretty high trust in the police in Denmark. But this case was unfortunately one that was handled extremely badly, and the police themselves have admitted that they made mistakes. The only thing that gives me a little hope, is that a few months ago, a similar case happened with a young girl that disappeared during the late night/early morning. The police acted right away; put a lot of resources on the case and asked for the publics help right away. Which lead to the body being found and an arrest made only a few days later. It seems the police has learned from their mistakes. Though those mistakes should have never happened in the first place.
The actions of the police were so bizarre. They don’t think she opened her Facebook.. they arrest men in suspicion of her kidnapping and murder… yet they never follow up with potential witnesses. Or don’t take them seriously. Doing their best to label this a runaway. Apparently they did assume there was a chance of foul play. I understand this is supposed to be a “safe town” but this is ridiculous.
its not just a safe town, the entire country is safe in comparison to most. doesnt excuse the actions of the police though - law enforcement should have solid training in how to deal with abductions and murders regardless of where theyre located.
In the past few days the police of Slovakia impounded Hyundai i30 in relation to the Emilie Meng case. The car was previously owned by 32 year old danish man that was arrested for abducting a 13 year old girl. The girl was abducted from near a small village called Kirkerup located about 15 miles from Korsør. She was freed by the police a little over a day after the abduction. Now the 32 year old man is under investigation for the the murder of Emilie Meng.
Wow I didn’t realize that it has been so long since this happened and I didn’t know that it wasn’t solved yet😱 I’m Norwegian and remember that it was all on the news
Ugh. I can feel your frustration. It's really heartbreaking story. Especially for the family of a very beautiful young girl. I am very sorry for Emily's family.
Thank you so much for covering this case🙏 this case really hit hard for all here in Denmark, and yes the police really did fuck this up from the start. Just for information its danish* and not dutch ♥️✨ Fyi good job on translating it's not easy but did good, and her couse of death was never revealed to the public not much was. This case hit hard here in Denmark and it's so rare in this time of day that case's like this happens here in Denmark, we had similar case's back in the 80s and 90s that went unsolved and was of young women's as well..
True, I think that's what many people from other countries don't understand, when hearing this case... It may sound stupid to walk home alone in the middle of the night, but we all do, even when drunk, because it's not just Korsør that's safe... Nothing ever happens in Denmark.
@@SjofnBM1989 i don’t think they’re blaming the victim - but highlighting the fact that this happens way too often. we as a collective could really learn from this comment.
Tbh it’s very common in most Western Europe countries, there is no public transportation after a certain hour and a lot of living areas are spread out and inbetween are those random paths for pedestrians only. I’ve walked my fair share of those as well. I guess it’s just something you take for normal cause usually nothing happens over here. Sometimes when I listen to the US stories I feel like I’d be scared to go out on the streets after dark over there ngl
@@kristasiajohnson4691 exactly. And we should also all feel so saddened and enraged by this. Anyone who tells you that women and men are equal have never experienced that absolute terror of walking alone as a woman at nigjt and knowing what horror could befall you.
Thank you for covering this! Just started the video but I'm really happy to see it out here in English! I'm from the same town as Emilie! And it really effected all of us deeply! We just had another girl disappear over the weekend! They found her at a 32 year old man's house and I truly truly hope that he is connected to Emilies case! No news on the court proceedings yet tho!
Interesting that I hear cases in different countries but details of the investigations seem to be often be similar. Teenager disappears, family and friends frantically call police , police assume teenager ran away for several months , then teenager is found dead ….. etc. It so sad , I feel terrible for the family. I hope justice is served.
I hate to hear these. As awful as they are, they are in the extreme minority, as the vast majority of the time, the teen either has run away or there was just innocent miscommunication.
Just to correct you……not dutch but danish, dutch is the language in Holland. I’m danish and your fan, this case is heartwrenching, thanks for talking about a case from my small country 🇩🇰😘
I and my fiance shared a taxi with a girl who was left by herself early hours in the morning standing waiting for a taxi. Turns out she lived close to us. She got into her house and I messaged her to make sure she was alright. Her friends lived in another town she said, what a rubbish excuse to leave your friend. Always make sure your friends get in a taxi and your in contact all the time if you live opposite ways. This is an awful case, Rest In Peace Emilie 💔
If you ever want to cover another danish case, you should look into the murder of Kim Wall. She is a swedish journalist who was killed on a danish inventors submarine, and had her remains thrown out at sea. Aside from the case of Emilie Meng, it's is probably the most well known danish case in recent times.
Thank you for talking about this case! I've wanted to ask someone to talk about it, but I know how difficult it can be, to research in a language you don't know!
Hey Rachel. I'm Danish and it was interesting to see an American interest in the Emilie Meng case. I had no idea interest had reached outside our contry. Oh, and we speak Danish here in Denmark. Not Dutch. 🙂
A bit more context about her mudrerer. He was caught after having kidnapped a 13 year old girl in broad daylight, he was found fairly fast after kidnapping this girl and was found with her with him. The Emilie Meng murder was quickly linked to him.
Whenever a case is so poorly investigated and witnesses claims aren’t followed up on, like this one, I tend to think that the authorities may have the blinders on and tunnel vision due to the fact they are already sold on a suspect. In their minds it’s now just a waiting game on gathering enough evidence OR the person they suspect is or was affiliated with law enforcement or a family member of an officer, or someone with strong political ties; and the cops are just covering things and holding their breath (as cliche as it may seem). I just have a suspicion kit may be either or. Great presentation!👏🏻. Thanks 🙏🏻. Enjoy 😊✌🏻
Isn't it also possible that the police themselves killed her? They could be protecting one (or more) of their own. They could have botched the investigation themselves, so that it could never be solved.
There is some more information on how she got killed. She was found cut up in the Water, her arms, legs and head got cut of, so she was in the Water cut in pieces. But else then that is really good for using google translate, bc google doesen't work that well, so you got a lot of information.
Sorry, no not Emilie Meng she was fond in 1 peace. You might be thinking of Kim Wall, the Sweetish journalist who got killed in a submarine by the rocket man and psychopath Peter Madsen who is now serving a life sentence.
You had some new detailes. Do you have your sources. Seems like you did a great job and some of the names you said was pretty close. New sub. Denmark is generally pretty safe
Have you ever researched Albert Fish? He has to be the most disturbed killer I've ever heard of. Maybe you already did one. I hope you are enjoying the summer.
About Facebook- maybe she was still logged in to her Facebook account back at home on her/the family computer and maybe her family was the one reading the messages just in case something came up, a clue or something?
Saying you researched it and than not being able to know that Dutch is the language they speak in the Netherlands and danish is spoken in Denmark is just sad and ridiculous
There is probably someone that knew where she was, the guy she was talking to that broke up with her. He most likely knew she was at the train station. Did the train station have any cameras??
tI feels like the crime comes from within the police. Someone that watched her. Too suspect, never heard of such weirdness from an investigation . Love your channel you make cases so detailed and respectful of victims and families. Hey, from NZ
Well, great that you bring up this case, bur it is important to mention that Emilie Meng, wasn’t Dutch, but Danish, so I don’t know why you mention the article s being written in Dutch primarily?
So heartbreaking 💔 The police did a horrible job. I hate when they assume it’s a runaway, why not treat every missing case as foul play. Still no justice, killer walking around free. I pray for justice. Rest In Peace Emily 🙏🕊🤍
They didn't do a bad job.. When they realized she was missing missing they actually did a whole lot! And maybe sometimes too much! But they WANTED to find her!! The guy accused of abducting, r4ping and k1lling her, is on trial.. almost as we speak (well he has been for two days, and will for 16 more court days). And it has been reported that they have hundreds of binders of investigation, from before the guy was caught (in another.. REALLY horrible case!). So I agree they were not quick enough the first day (or ways it two days? Not completely sure) But also, there had been a structural change in how the police worked on criminal cases. From one national specialized team, helping police districts, when there was crimes like murders and other "person dangerous" crimes (directly translated from danish, since I can't remember the English word for that type of crime 😊), to police districts having to do these tasks themselves. I mean they are still really professional!! But since this almost never happens, they for sure hadn't dealt with this type of crime, "alone", before! Police are very professional and in general really good at their jobs here! The solved rates here are really high! Some of the highest in the world! It bot an easy task to kill someone here! You normally get caught! But there are exceptions, of course! 😊 Again, I agree they did wrong here! Definitely! But to say they did a horrible job, is just not right, either!
@@stephz0r93 My point is.. They didn't do any job! They prioritized wrong! (Which is always very easy to say and to see, after the fact!). I agree it was a really problematic choice in this case! Everyone knows this! Police too! But when they did start working on the case, they did everything possible!! They are not bad! They are professional, despite there being mayor adjustments in the structure of police departments at that point. My point is that if they searched for everyone with drones, dogs, all police forces etc etc. with everyone that goes missing, they wouldn't have money for anything else! So it does happen! It's so easy to be the investigator and judge, when someone has done all the work for you, and we know all facts! I don't totally disagree with you! But they in general do some of the best work in the world! Well or at least are very professional and reasonable, to a degree that trust towards the police, is extremely high here in Denmark! So the message about the police is imo a biiit black and white for me. And I get a bit annoyed that people thinks that how American police act and work, is necessarily by definition, how everyone works and behaves! Sorry.. But in general danish police is better at solving these types of crimes then police in general, in the US is.. It's just statistics. And also there are so many behavioural and perceptional differences between those two countries. My suspicion is that saying they did a bad job, is a very American way of perceiving something that doesn't work the same way is on America! A lot of people don't know that, even in Denmark! We often know more about American police and justice system, then our own! That's just why I said what I said, and why I believe what I believe! But no matter how good a police force you have, they will never be right all the time! And in this case, unfortunately it was a crucial, devastating mistake they made! 😭 They know it, and have learned from it! 😊

I have been hearing the similiar thing rom people in the area. Young muslim men acting very strange after this... laughing and joking about how Emilie died and how it seems to ammuse them that police have not foun her yet. Almost taking pride in it. Hope the police soon will do something...
The guy suspect was Emilies soccer coach. After the case the travel team (rejseholdet) was reinstated. And the police took the new cases much more serious. And the girl F was kidnapped and ASed by him. But got caught and now the Emilie case might be solved so it came full circle
Another girl disappeared a year ago and one was attacked but got away. Police found the missing girl molested, but thankfully alive. The man who kidnapped this girl is now being indicted with Emilies murder. So it seems the case was solved afterall.
we have night revens in most cities around korsør now and parents are still on egde about sending their children out by themself mow at least one adult is usually out with their teens
Because of the reports of the screams on the night of Emily's dissappearence, Im thinking that's why they took the search so seriously at the beginning, they knew they messed up.
Police were and by the sounds still are, very slack in Korsor. It’s time to release more info it’s been 6 years memories can fade. I definitely think that whoever did this horrendous crime had a strong connection to both the area where Emilie lived Korsor and Borup where her body was found, and most likely frequented both area’s. Couldn’t the Police have joined the dots to looking at White Hyundai’s seen in the Korsor area and white Hyundai’s in Borup, more people need to talk or some are holding out. I believe there is a connection to these 2 area’s.
A 32-year-old man is charged, but not convicted, for the murder of emilie meng. He has also been convicted in 2 other cases, the most recent of which happened just 2 weeks ago on a 13-year-old girl. The 13-year-old is alive, but was kidnapped and raped.
Dang, the way that the police are blatantly ignoring wITNESSES makes me think that it could possibly be a police officer that they are covering up for?? 🤔…..idk, what do y’all think??
I think the police were using her as an excuse to try to settle some scores….and then realized that they were actually dealing with a serious case and are refusing to ask for help….
I'm going to help with some of this information because I do think it is important and have not come across other American youtubers covering her case. There was A LOT of misinformation happening when she first disappeared, so I do want everybody to know;
1. She did not run away to Copenhagen for a couple of weeks prior to this incident. After the police made this statement, her parents made sure to correct it. The damage had already been done and most Danes were under the assumption that Emilie had just run away from home, it was gut wrenching reading all the comments online about her at that time. Everybody thought she was a troll and just wanted attention - people can be very disgusting and this incorrect information released by the police backfired awfully when it came down to the investigation.
2. The whole country was behind trying to locate her, once everybody understood that she was in fact missing. For a small country, they had THOUSANDS of people that came and searched. You can find pictures of the walk everybody went on with their candles/lights to memorialize her. They walked from the train station to town, the walk she wouldve taken alone to get home. The whole country mourned.
3. You are correct - her cause of death has never been released, I don't think it ever will be.
4. The place where her body was found is not a place often frequented or an area that a random person would've just known. Due to this, most do believe that the assailant is someone that grew up in that area or lives there.
5. They absolutely had tunnel vision on the guy that they kept going back and doing searches by. They destroyed his home, absolutely. Destroyed his life in that town.
6. Do not ever throw any hate towards her friends that let her walk home alone. This was an extremely normal thing to do in Korsør at the time, walking to your destination is more normal than owning a car. Walking is peaceful and nothing ever happened in Korsør, until she was taken.
Also, although I'm from Korsør, I moved to America the year before her disappearance, so I followed along online but saw everything because all of my Facebook friends were posting and sharing every single article that came out.
I hope this gets solved at some point, I hope her family and my past friends receive closure.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I pinned it to the top of the comments to clear things up for anyone who sees it ♥️
@@RachelShannon Thank you for covering her case! That means a lot and I was very impressed with your in-depth details. It's so crucial for an investigation to be covered correctly and you covered it with class. Thank you.
Bless you for that detailed info!!!! You’re community sounds amazing
Ooo Is love to visit your country
Emilie lå ikke i den sø i 5 måneder. Det er noget i denne her sag , der ikke hænger sammen. Der foregår ikke nogen efterforskning, det er et coverup af politiets inkompentence. Politiet har svigtet deres positive forpligtigelser til at efterforske rettidigt og omhyggeligt, jf. EMRK artikel 2. Så hvorfor har advokaten ikke stævnet politiet?
When I was a teenager adults would say, “Nothing good happens after midnight”.
I have 2 teenage boys and I tell them, “Nothing good happens after DARK.” It’s true. We are losing our innocence.
“Nothing is open after midnight besides liquor stores n legs” is what my aunt use to say
My mom always told me the same thing and I've said that to my 18 yr old daughter many times
Hey thanks for covering this case from Denmark! No biggie but just a little correction: the language of Denmark is Danish, not Dutch. Dutch is from the Netherlands 🥰
You are absolutely right! I was confused for a minute there: Dutch??? But hey ho, nice to have focus on Emilie Meng´s case. Police botched that case so badly, they will probably never find her killer/s. Poor girl, and her poor family!
I remember that for some reason the case was not taken seriously by police for the longest time.
This case stuck out to me! First of all, we don't have a lot like these in Denmark, and I had just become a mum, three months before, so for some reason it stuck to me... Which also makes my son a reminder of how long it has been, every time I hear about the case...
She gets so much information wrong including pronouncing things like the make of the van. It's why there are less than 100k subs even though she's been doing this good few years now
@@HighPriestess44 I love her videos! She does the best with the information she has. 100k subs is impressive.. most true crime UA-camrs never make it to that!! She’s always been one of my favorites!!!!!
@@HighPriestess44 So what she misprounces a few things. All of them do. I wouldn't even attempt! The rest of the population that doesn't speak the language, doesn't even know anyway! Maybe you should focus more on the story and the victim, since that's why we're here.
Another young girl just went missing here in Denmark close to where Emilie disappeared - thankfully the police is using a lot more power to find this girl than with Emilie 🙏🏻 Hope she comes home safe.
Also we speak Danish, but thank you so much for covering her story.
Philip Patrick Westh
"I honestly don't feel bad and I hope he's rotting in prison" girl I FELT that and agree completely- I always really appreciate how passionate you are when telling these cases, because it validates what I'm feeling throughout
There's an ongoing case right now that connects heavily to this case. they have a 32 year old man in custody for kidnapping and assualting a 13 year old girl recently, and suspect him for abducting and killing emilie too as well as assaulting another girl last year. Horrifying to know that these animals walk around in little Denmark.
My daughter’s are 17, my heart sank when you said her age! Poor girl 😞🥺 RIP
I was friends with several of Emilie's friends. Growing up in Korsør myself which is a very small town - Emilie was the kind of girl that nobody talked bad about. I never heard a bad word, never felt a bad vibe. This changed my hometown. I think about her bestfriend all the time, I hope she's okay because they'd been bestfriends for years. Her bestfriend went through so much terrible shit after her disappearance. It breaks my heart.
People are cruel.
People genuinely are cruel. Thank you for your comment, it is very eye opening to hear from someone who is from the area
There is evidence that she might have been abducted and later killed by a group of young men. These were spotted near the road she was supposed to take. No body seemed to care about telling that this road she took actually lead into a ghetto called 'Motalavej'. On the morning she dissapeared two individual people a recident + a old man living at nearby nursing home, both heard a disperate female scream and then multiple male voices. The older man at the Nursing home described the men as being some the "the boys" which he normally uses to refer the arab boys in the area.
In the following search for Emilie many of the young immigrant males living at Motalavej came up to the people searching for Emilie, and told them "she has already been moved" and "you are not going to find her alive". These reports were confirmed by many members of the Missing People's crew who heard this several times.
In 2020 police began hunting for DNA profiles from the men in the area and there is more and more evidence that suggest that this is the likely case while the other rumours have nothing to do with the case.
There has several attacks, sexual assualt, and hate crimes comitted by primarily immigrants residing in Motalavej over the years. It is baffling that no media have been able to connect these stories.
@Factual I understand that you are calling Moatalavej a "ghetto". I literally lived there for 5 years, they're some of the cheapest apartments in Korsør and I didn't necessarily grow up with my parents having money. I'd like to ask you - are you from Denmark?
Although Motalavej might be considered the "ghetto" of Korsør, it is genuienly not like a ghetto. Yes there's been a couple of stabbings, most arguing and fights that happen, happen between the Muslims and their families. While the groups of Muslims (yes you refer to them as Arabs, I can guarantee you that everyone in Korsør just says Muslims) may end up being larger groups, they are not scary/dangerous groups of people. One of the the most "popular" guys in Motalavej slapped my ass one day as I was walking by, I turned around and instantly slapped him, left the rest of the group laughing at him and that was it. My main point is that these groups are not murderers. Most of them DO NOT own cars.
The area Emilie was found was miles away, in a secluded area that you'd only know, if you'd been there or were from there. She was not found in Korsør.
Personally, I'd be extremely, extremely surprised if it ends up being any Arabs from Motalavej that went as far as killing her. I walked through that neighborhood and lived there for years. They are not scary individuals, just groups that try to seem harder than they are. I was literally 12 or 13 when I slapped him. They're not dangerous.
@@Adorably_morbid Dear Rebecca. Yes I am Danish and yes I do have information from other residents from that area.
What you are saying is a bit problematic. You are somehow using your prior experience from living in the area to justify that all these people must be innocent. This is not how it works. It would be similar to ask a friend of a serial killer to ask if the person could ever kill everyone, and then remove suspicion based on the friends point of view. You haven't met all people from Motalavej, so you have arguments that could deem every single Muslim from the area to be innocent. Just as well as you cannot deem every single Danish person innocent just because you know a few or have experience with them.
On the contrary, you litterly described how some of these guys disrespected women and slapped your butt in front of his friends. attitudes towards women liek that, are exactly what motivates people to just assault women. This is a problem in Denmark were sexual assaults performed by unknown Muslim men are overrepresented because a lack of respect of how western women dress. I have multiple female friends who have been gang raped by Muslim men every time... How do you know the guys who slapped your butt, might not have gone further if they could have gotten away with it? - You don't!
First of all Motalavej has been considered a Ghetto by the standards in Denmark - it has later been removed from the Ghetto list. The reason why I write it like that is to explain to any English speakers what is going on. This is not relevant to the story, nor is it if I refer to them as Arabs. It does not make my comment any less valuable or incorrect, as there are also residents at Motalavej from other Muslims countries and other Arabs who are not Muslim.
"My main point is that these groups are not murderers." - how do you know? Is the overall group also not murders? There has been plenty of cases where danish muslims have killed danish women before. Aya Bonde Jensen was killed by her Pakstanian man who tortured and groomed her for many years, same with Maria Louise Fiedler who was killed in fornt of her own daugther. These are just a few of many cases...
"The area Emilie was found was miles away" - and so what? Did it occur to you that a person getting rid of the body of course would move it away from the alleged scene of the crime? Of cause! BTW the scene is not a place you would only know if you had been there - it was close to a main highway and was easy to access. Checking from maps and google earth are easy tools to find dislocated areas to look for.
"I was literally 12 or 13 when I slapped him. They're not dangerous" - here you litterly confirm that a little girl are still being targeted by such people. Besides that, in recent years there has been multiple shootings, stabbing, and sexual assaults from this group in particular, so saying that they are not "dangerous" is a clear underestimation.
Besides all this, why do these people go around and taunt and try to humiliate the people searching for Emilie by saying all these things about her not being alive and that she has been removed?
As a dane, I remember when this happened so clear, and how heartbreaking it was that a young woman can't even walk home an early morning without anything terrible happening. Sad how little coverage this case has gotten internationally (as far as I know at least..), so thank you so so much for covering this! I really hope the murder will be found and rot in prison forever. Also so sad how the police handled this
Sagens hovedomdrejningspunkt. er politiets svigtende efterforskning. Police negligence. Hvad jeg ikke forstår er, hvorfor har advokaten ikke stævnet politiet? De har svigtet efterforskningen.
The murderer is peter madsen if u check his age back in 2016 is 32. they just try to keep it lowkey i promise u do ur research and it makes sense
I'm Danish, and I see that some misinformation has already been corrected but I also just wanna add;
- It's not just that nothing happens in Korsør and it being a small and safe city. Denmark has an average of 39 homicides per year with most of them being men killed by men. Furthermore, for women most is by their partner or someone they knew.
- Also, around July 10th the sun rises around 4.30am in Denmark, and around 4am it will already be starting to be light outside. Walking alone around 4am a summer morning in Denmark is not only extremely normal but also considered safe regardless of where you live.
Men det er ved at ændre sig. Jeg føler mig ikke speciel tryg klokken 04:00 om morgenen. Bortset fra det, så regner jeg med at Philip Patrick Westh bliver dømt for mordet på Emilie Meng.
this is a very interesting case of that of course I haven't heard of. I really appreciate your coverage of this. RIP Emile😭
I hope Rachel and everyone has a great evening and week! 😊💙❤️👏
Really interesting video, Rachel! You did a fine job translating from Danish and organizing this tragic story into English….the information is so deserving of attention in as many languages as possible!
I definitely do not mean to make light of the very sad set of circumstances I just heard, nor do I wish to undermine the purpose of the video as a way to spread important information. Having said that, it is always very refreshing to hear a new story from another country as opposed to the very familiar stories we hear so often. And again, it’s fantastic to be able to spotlight new victims and their families…thanks to all of Rachel’s amazing hard work!
Couldn’t hv been said better
There is a reason true crimers don’t cover other countries crimes very much. If I were one, I would never cover cases in other countries. 1: language translation. 2: media in other countries is not as thorough. 3: too many privacy laws. This all adds up to very little details and boring stories. The US is incredibly transparent with its cases.
I think you mean the articles were in “danish” not Dutch. No-one in Denmark speak Dutch, that’s the language they speak in Holland - an entirely different country ☺️
My exact words: Danish people come from Denmark, and they speak a language called Danish. Dutch people come from The Netherlands, and they speak Dutch.
The Netherlands. Holland are 2 provinces 😉
Also : You can’t eat a Dutch - But you can eat a danish 🙂
And you meant "The Netherlands." Not Holland 🥰
@@AABB-bm9kk I'm pretty sure that some people would argue that you can eat a Dutch😆 I watched enough true crime shows😉
There is a chance that we got him. They just arrested a 32 year old man for kidnapping a 13 year girl while she was riding a bike in a rural area.
After Emelie Meng was found the police searched for a bright coloured car, probably a Hyundai I30. Which were captured on cctv at Korsør Station. It has just been known that the man in the new case in 2016 owned a bright coloured Hyunai I30. The same MO. The same area. The same car. This could be him
I applaud how you phrase it:”there is a chance that we got him” and “this could be him”. See to many comments jumping to conclusions.
Det er ham.
I’ll jump to a conclusion: ITS Philip Patrick Westh.
It drives me crazy when people hear screaming and don’t do anything to help at the moment. I’ve seen it over and over again in some of these cases. So sad
Right?? How people can just hear that and do nothing is beyond me! I hope their conscience eats them alive!
I love that you cover cases that many other channels don’t talk about. Thank you for the coverage!
This is absolutely disheartening, my dad worked his way up the ranks to detective when I was growing up, he was dang good, his whole motto with his colleagues was “we rule NOTHING OUT!”
I sent him the link to this a few days ago and the man was outraged, then almost in tears thinking it could happen to ANYONE, his family or a girl he considered family after spending so much time with her family getting to know her, listening to their stories, eventually breaking down with them, kids are his trigger as well as the helpless elderly. He could NOT BELIEVE the conduct of these lazy, sloppy, undertrained “police” and all their stupid assumptions that she “ran away, and digging up and searching someone’s property FIVE TIMES, they would have ordered the man to leave and gotten all the evidence they needed in one swoop, camera’s, videotaping, it would have kept my dad up day and night until it was solved. He said that whole force should be shamed, fired and or retrained because their huge lazy assumptions cost a family from seeing justice through, the statistics are if a crime isn’t solved within the first 90 days, unless the FBI steps in, it won’t be solved.
I’m NOT AT ALL VICTIM BLAMING BECAUSE I MADE CHOICES LIKE THIS BEFORE GROWING UP THAT I GOT A REAL “TALKING TOO” FOR But now as a parent with infant twin’s myself I understand where he was coming from. He also stressed into us “Look I know you’re all going to put yourselves in danger because you don’t SEE TGE DANGER, your brains aren’t even done developing until you are 25.4, SO ANYTIME you need a ride, you and your friends need a ride, I WILL NEVER LECTURE YOU, EVER, I WILL GET YOU ALL HOME SAFE DAY OR NIGHT, you have no idea the regret I see on a daily basis by what was a tiny error in judgement that turns an entire generation of a family to be ripped to shreds, just call me!”
I heard that loud and clear and he kept his word, no lecture’s just “thank you’s!!” He was all of my friends Taxi at 3am!
You’re right. There’s so many unforgiving mistakes made in this investigation by Sydsjælland & Lolland-Falsters Police, who handled Emilie’s disappearance. Fortunately it seems that they have learned from their awful mistakes as a 13 year old girl was kidnapped 4 days ago in the same city as Emilie went missing, and they managed to find the girl within 27 hours and did a very professional and extensive search for the poor girl, including getting immidiate help from the public, unlike with Emilie. It’s just sad that a girl’s killer may never be found and her parent’s never get “peace” because they did the worst job possible.
So excited about an episode about Scandinavia 🥰 By the way, they speak Danish in Denmark's, not Dutch (that's the language of Holland 🤩)
I'm sorry but maybe the word "excited" isn't the right word when referring to a murder case.

Historisk dårligt politi arbejde ja🤦♂️
Just letting you know that they speak Danish in Denmark. Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands 🙂
Hi! Thanks for covering a case from Denmark! You did a great job covering the case :)
I’m a Dane and I remember this case - it was awful and disappointing how the police handled the case.
I remember Christmas Eve 2016 when we learned that the body of Emilie most likely had been found - in Denmark we celebrate Christmas on the 24th, so to Emilies family to learn her body had been found on a day where you are supposed to “hygge” with your familie must have been devastating.
Also, the body was found in a lake not too far from where I grew up and still lived at this time - which just left me with a sick feeling in my stomach. But a friend of mine grew up even closer to the lake, and she used to play there when she was a kid. Her and her family told me that it has had to be someone who knew the area who had dumped the body there, as only people familiar with the area would have known how secluded the area really is, and that not too many people comes there. The police never disclosed how Emilie lost her life.
In regards to the police we have pretty high trust in the police in Denmark. But this case was unfortunately one that was handled extremely badly, and the police themselves have admitted that they made mistakes. The only thing that gives me a little hope, is that a few months ago, a similar case happened with a young girl that disappeared during the late night/early morning. The police acted right away; put a lot of resources on the case and asked for the publics help right away. Which lead to the body being found and an arrest made only a few days later. It seems the police has learned from their mistakes. Though those mistakes should have never happened in the first place.
Thanks for the Native code. Thanks for the compassion you bring to these heartbreaking stories.
always love your videos rachel, thanks for being so thorough and ethical with how you present cases 💛
The actions of the police were so bizarre. They don’t think she opened her Facebook.. they arrest men in suspicion of her kidnapping and murder… yet they never follow up with potential witnesses. Or don’t take them seriously. Doing their best to label this a runaway. Apparently they did assume there was a chance of foul play. I understand this is supposed to be a “safe town” but this is ridiculous.
its not just a safe town, the entire country is safe in comparison to most. doesnt excuse the actions of the police though - law enforcement should have solid training in how to deal with abductions and murders regardless of where theyre located.
I see this behavior from police more often than not, unfortunately.
Very interesting story...excellent narration...your comments about what might have happened to Emily make a lot of sense. Thank you!
In the past few days the police of Slovakia impounded Hyundai i30 in relation to the Emilie Meng case. The car was previously owned by 32 year old danish man that was arrested for abducting a 13 year old girl. The girl was abducted from near a small village called Kirkerup located about 15 miles from Korsør. She was freed by the police a little over a day after the abduction. Now the 32 year old man is under investigation for the the murder of Emilie Meng.
Wow I didn’t realize that it has been so long since this happened and I didn’t know that it wasn’t solved yet😱
I’m Norwegian and remember that it was all on the news
Im Always waiting for your videos ❤️😊I love your sponsors how u explain everything very well👍
Ugh. I can feel your frustration. It's really heartbreaking story. Especially for the family of a very beautiful young girl. I am very sorry for Emily's family.
Thank you so much for covering this case🙏 this case really hit hard for all here in Denmark, and yes the police really did fuck this up from the start. Just for information its danish* and not dutch ♥️✨
Fyi good job on translating it's not easy but did good, and her couse of death was never revealed to the public not much was. This case hit hard here in Denmark and it's so rare in this time of day that case's like this happens here in Denmark, we had similar case's back in the 80s and 90s that went unsolved and was of young women's as well..
True, I think that's what many people from other countries don't understand, when hearing this case... It may sound stupid to walk home alone in the middle of the night, but we all do, even when drunk, because it's not just Korsør that's safe... Nothing ever happens in Denmark.

@@SjofnBM1989 i don’t think they’re blaming the victim - but highlighting the fact that this happens way too often. we as a collective could really learn from this comment.
Tbh it’s very common in most Western Europe countries, there is no public transportation after a certain hour and a lot of living areas are spread out and inbetween are those random paths for pedestrians only. I’ve walked my fair share of those as well. I guess it’s just something you take for normal cause usually nothing happens over here. Sometimes when I listen to the US stories I feel like I’d be scared to go out on the streets after dark over there ngl
@@kristasiajohnson4691 exactly. And we should also all feel so saddened and enraged by this. Anyone who tells you that women and men are equal have never experienced that absolute terror of walking alone as a woman at nigjt and knowing what horror could befall you.

just a minor thing: did you mean to say Dutch? wouldn't most of the news be in Danish?
Yes I think I mixed them up, my apologies!
Got me confused too hehe gotta admit though, europe has too many languages and they're often similar to each other too
perfect timing 🤍😌
Thank you for covering this! Just started the video but I'm really happy to see it out here in English! I'm from the same town as Emilie! And it really effected all of us deeply!
We just had another girl disappear over the weekend! They found her at a 32 year old man's house and I truly truly hope that he is connected to Emilies case! No news on the court proceedings yet tho!
Interesting that I hear cases in different countries but details of the investigations seem to be often be similar. Teenager disappears, family and friends frantically call police , police assume teenager ran away for several months , then teenager is found dead ….. etc. It so sad , I feel terrible for the family. I hope justice is served.
I hate to hear these. As awful as they are, they are in the extreme minority, as the vast majority of the time, the teen either has run away or there was just innocent miscommunication.
I really love that you partner with native cause they really are a great brand

Just to correct you……not dutch but danish, dutch is the language in Holland. I’m danish and your fan, this case is heartwrenching, thanks for talking about a case from my small country 🇩🇰😘
I and my fiance shared a taxi with a girl who was left by herself early hours in the morning standing waiting for a taxi. Turns out she lived close to us. She got into her house and I messaged her to make sure she was alright. Her friends lived in another town she said, what a rubbish excuse to leave your friend. Always make sure your friends get in a taxi and your in contact all the time if you live opposite ways.
This is an awful case, Rest In Peace Emilie 💔
Glad you two were there to make sure she got home safe ♥️
If you ever want to cover another danish case, you should look into the murder of Kim Wall. She is a swedish journalist who was killed on a danish inventors submarine, and had her remains thrown out at sea. Aside from the case of Emilie Meng, it's is probably the most well known danish case in recent times.
My daughter will be 17 in just 9 days, this hurts my heart 🙁
Way too young to be taken from earth 😣
Yes i will enjoy your video and all you can give us. I also enjoy your theories.
Thank you for talking about this case! I've wanted to ask someone to talk about it, but I know how difficult it can be, to research in a language you don't know!
But articles and podcasts are not Dutch - Probably Danish 😉

Hey Rachel. I'm Danish and it was interesting to see an American interest in the Emilie Meng case. I had no idea interest had reached outside our contry.
Oh, and we speak Danish here in Denmark. Not Dutch. 🙂
A bit more context about her mudrerer.
He was caught after having kidnapped a 13 year old girl in broad daylight, he was found fairly fast after kidnapping this girl and was found with her with him.
The Emilie Meng murder was quickly linked to him.
Whenever a case is so poorly investigated and witnesses claims aren’t followed up on, like this one, I tend to think that the authorities may have the blinders on and tunnel vision due to the fact they are already sold on a suspect. In their minds it’s now just a waiting game on gathering enough evidence OR the person they suspect is or was affiliated with law enforcement or a family member of an officer, or someone with strong political ties; and the cops are just covering things and holding their breath (as cliche as it may seem). I just have a suspicion kit may be either or. Great presentation!👏🏻. Thanks 🙏🏻. Enjoy 😊✌🏻
Isn't it also possible that the police themselves killed her? They could be protecting one (or more) of their own. They could have botched the investigation themselves, so that it could never be solved.
Pass the pibe
There is some more information on how she got killed. She was found cut up in the Water, her arms, legs and head got cut of, so she was in the Water cut in pieces. But else then that is really good for using google translate, bc google doesen't work that well, so you got a lot of information.
Sorry, no not Emilie Meng she was fond in 1 peace. You might be thinking of Kim Wall, the Sweetish journalist who got killed in a submarine by the rocket man and psychopath Peter Madsen who is now serving a life sentence.
Thanks for covering....
You had some new detailes. Do you have your sources.
Seems like you did a great job and some of the names you said was pretty close.
New sub.
Denmark is generally pretty safe
Have you ever researched Albert Fish? He has to be the most disturbed killer I've ever heard of. Maybe you already did one. I hope you are enjoying the summer.
So much misinformation in this video🙄
People from Denmark are Danish, not Dutch! Dutch people are from Holland...
Dutch? Surely it would be Danish? Dutch is spoken in holland aka the Netherlands not Denmark...?
I don't understand what the police were even doing for this case.. the level of negligence is disturbing
About Facebook- maybe she was still logged in to her Facebook account back at home on her/the family computer and maybe her family was the one reading the messages just in case something came up, a clue or something?
Dutch is NOT the language we speak in Denmark. We speak danish 😊 sorry to comment on it but Dutch is spoken in Holland, a whole other country.
My apologies for mixing them up!
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
There's an update!
Someone has been arrested, after he abducted a 13 year old recently and he is also being charged with the murder of Emilie.
Dane here. I used to live in Korsør. The police is rotten in that commune... Police ignored several things and several of the officers are fired todat
Youre amazing
Saying you researched it and than not being able to know that Dutch is the language they speak in the Netherlands and danish is spoken in Denmark is just sad and ridiculous
There is probably someone that knew where she was, the guy she was talking to that broke up with her. He most likely knew she was at the train station. Did the train station have any cameras??
Jesus Christ how horrible for her mother ,father and silblings to know her body was decomposing no words just sadness and shock
tI feels like the crime comes from within the police.
Someone that watched her.
Too suspect, never heard of such weirdness from an investigation .
Love your channel you make cases so detailed and respectful of victims and families.
Hey, from NZ
Well, great that you bring up this case, bur it is important to mention that Emilie Meng, wasn’t Dutch, but Danish, so I don’t know why you mention the article s being written in Dutch primarily?
Asking for outside help isn’t always accepted. The FBI doesn’t come and help every time they’re asked.
After y’all see one comment telling her the correct language, I promise you didn’t have to leave more…
Thanks for speaking on this case!
So heartbreaking 💔
The police did a horrible job. I hate when they assume it’s a runaway, why not treat every missing case as foul play. Still no justice, killer walking around free. I pray for justice. Rest In Peace Emily 🙏🕊🤍

They didn't do a bad job.. When they realized she was missing missing they actually did a whole lot! And maybe sometimes too much! But they WANTED to find her!!
The guy accused of abducting, r4ping and k1lling her, is on trial.. almost as we speak (well he has been for two days, and will for 16 more court days). And it has been reported that they have hundreds of binders of investigation, from before the guy was caught (in another.. REALLY horrible case!).
So I agree they were not quick enough the first day (or ways it two days? Not completely sure)
But also, there had been a structural change in how the police worked on criminal cases. From one national specialized team, helping police districts, when there was crimes like murders and other "person dangerous" crimes (directly translated from danish, since I can't remember the English word for that type of crime 😊), to police districts having to do these tasks themselves. I mean they are still really professional!! But since this almost never happens, they for sure hadn't dealt with this type of crime, "alone", before!
Police are very professional and in general really good at their jobs here! The solved rates here are really high! Some of the highest in the world! It bot an easy task to kill someone here! You normally get caught!
But there are exceptions, of course! 😊
Again, I agree they did wrong here! Definitely!
But to say they did a horrible job, is just not right, either!
Yes they did do a bad job. Assuming she’s just a runaway when clearly she wasn’t. If they had taken it more serious more would’ve been done.
@@stephz0r93 My point is.. They didn't do any job! They prioritized wrong! (Which is always very easy to say and to see, after the fact!).
I agree it was a really problematic choice in this case! Everyone knows this! Police too!
But when they did start working on the case, they did everything possible!!
They are not bad! They are professional, despite there being mayor adjustments in the structure of police departments at that point.
My point is that if they searched for everyone with drones, dogs, all police forces etc etc. with everyone that goes missing, they wouldn't have money for anything else!
So it does happen!
It's so easy to be the investigator and judge, when someone has done all the work for you, and we know all facts!
I don't totally disagree with you! But they in general do some of the best work in the world!
Well or at least are very professional and reasonable, to a degree that trust towards the police, is extremely high here in Denmark!
So the message about the police is imo a biiit black and white for me.
And I get a bit annoyed that people thinks that how American police act and work, is necessarily by definition, how everyone works and behaves!
Sorry.. But in general danish police is better at solving these types of crimes then police in general, in the US is.. It's just statistics.
And also there are so many behavioural and perceptional differences between those two countries.
My suspicion is that saying they did a bad job, is a very American way of perceiving something that doesn't work the same way is on America!
A lot of people don't know that, even in Denmark! We often know more about American police and justice system, then our own!
That's just why I said what I said, and why I believe what I believe!
But no matter how good a police force you have, they will never be right all the time!
And in this case, unfortunately it was a crucial, devastating mistake they made! 😭
They know it, and have learned from it! 😊
These small town police departments have no clue what to do how to handle cases like this.
There is evidence that she might have been abducted and later killed by a group of young men. These were spotted near the road she was supposed to take. No body seemed to care about telling that this road she took actually lead into a ghetto called 'Motalavej'. On the morning she dissapeared two individual people a recident + a old man living at nearby nursing home, both heard a disperate female scream and then multiple male voices. The older man at the Nursing home described the men as being some the "the boys" which he normally uses to refer the arab boys in the area.
In the following search for Emilie many of the young immigrant males living at Motalavej came up to the people searching for Emilie, and told them "she has already been moved" and "you are not going to find her alive". These reports were confirmed by many members of the Missing People's crew who heard this several times.
In 2020 police began hunting for DNA profiles from the men in the area and there is more and more evidence that suggest that this is the likely case while the other rumours have nothing to do with the case.
There has several attacks, sexual assualt, and hate crimes comitted by primarily immigrants residing in Motalavej over the years. It is baffling that no media have been able to connect these stories.
I have been hearing the similiar thing rom people in the area. Young muslim men acting very strange after this... laughing and joking about how Emilie died and how it seems to ammuse them that police have not foun her yet. Almost taking pride in it. Hope the police soon will do something...
I love your hair 😍
I went to musical with Emilie. I miss her beautiful soul 😢
Early ❤️
I’m from the Netherlands and we speak Dutch. People from denmark speak danish
The case is solved
The guy suspect was Emilies soccer coach.
After the case the travel team (rejseholdet) was reinstated.
And the police took the new cases much more serious.
And the girl F was kidnapped and ASed by him.
But got caught and now the Emilie case might be solved so it came full circle
what do you do to make your teethe so white!
FYI!
The murderer has been convicted to life in prison. In what is probertly the worst criminal case in DK historie. Named as the Kirkerup case.
Update, a 33 year old is arrested AND convicted ,in the murder on Emilie.
Yes things can get lost in translation.
❤️
Another girl disappeared a year ago and one was attacked but got away. Police found the missing girl molested, but thankfully alive. The man who kidnapped this girl is now being indicted with Emilies murder. So it seems the case was solved afterall.
we have night revens in most cities around korsør now and parents are still on egde about sending their children out by themself mow at least one adult is usually out with their teens
Because of the reports of the screams on the night of Emily's dissappearence, Im thinking that's why they took the search so seriously at the beginning, they knew they messed up.
Police were and by the sounds still are, very slack in Korsor. It’s time to release more info it’s been 6 years memories can fade. I definitely think that whoever did this horrendous crime had a strong connection to both the area where Emilie lived Korsor and Borup where her body was found, and most likely frequented both area’s. Couldn’t the Police have joined the dots to looking at White Hyundai’s seen in the Korsor area and white Hyundai’s in Borup, more people need to talk or some are holding out. I believe there is a connection to these 2 area’s.
A 32-year-old man is charged, but not convicted, for the murder of emilie meng. He has also been convicted in 2 other cases, the most recent of which happened just 2 weeks ago on a 13-year-old girl. The 13-year-old is alive, but was kidnapped and raped.
The Danish police must investigate whether he can be brought into custody for other cases

Dang, the way that the police are blatantly ignoring wITNESSES makes me think that it could possibly be a police officer that they are covering up for?? 🤔…..idk, what do y’all think??
I think the police were using her as an excuse to try to settle some scores….and then realized that they were actually dealing with a serious case and are refusing to ask for help….
