Episode list

Stefanie Berghoff from Buchingen had been missing for 17 hours when the police station in Lauburg began the search. Detective Chief Inspector Barbara Kramer and her colleague Thomas Riedle coordinated the search along the young woman's jogging route. The longer they search, the more important it becomes to secure evidence, find witnesses and prevent the many volunteers around Berghoff's husband and father from trampling on evidence. When the young woman's body was finally found in the forest, she had already been dead for 72 hours, killed by violence, the murder weapon unknown. Forensic medicine and forensic science began their work. The evidence was thin and the investigation team led by Barbara and Thomas was expanded to a special task force.

A task force investigates two possibly linked murders of young women. Despite DNA evidence and expanded searches, leads are scarce. Local fears grow as investigators face mounting work while pursuing the cases.

Colored hair leads to a suspect in the Schora case. While Berghoff's case remains unsolved, evidence is found. A similar unsolved murder in Austria suggests a truck driver suspect. 50,000 toll records need review.

After 100+ days investigating a murder in Steinach, the team faces disbandment. They focus on toll data and tracing the iron bar murder weapon to a truck brand, finally identifying a suspect despite reduced resources.
