Death of Emilie Meng


Emilie Anine Skovgaard Meng, a 17-year-old Danish girl, disappeared in Korsør in the early hours of 10 July 2016. Five months later, her body was found in Køge Municipality. The case received major media attention and an investigation of both police and civilians.

Disappearance

Meng was last seen leaving Korsør train station after a night out in Slagelse with her friends at 4 a.m. on 10 July 2016. She was expected to sing at a local church at 9:30 that morning, but never showed up. Many volunteers helped the police to look for Meng. Several tips led to three suspects, including a 33-year-old truck driver and a 67-year-old, who got his house searched five times, but they had nothing to do with the case. After four months the police had worked with three theories.

Discovery of body

Meng's body was found in a lake at Regnemarks Bakke near Borup on 24 December 2016. Two days later, a memorial ceremony was held at Korsør Station, where several hundred people were present.
The case remains unsolved.
