ARD - Ghosts don't kill - New "Polizeiruf 110" from Rostock
The middle-class façade of the family with their own home and front garden holds up for a long time. However, calls from the daughter, who has been missing for 15 years and was ultimately declared dead, and hair from the girl at a bloody crime scene unexpectedly trigger ever-widening cracks. The unequal investigators Katrin König (Anneke Kim Sarnau) and Melly Böwe (Lina Beckmann) uncover the truth piece by piece in their second case together. The episode of"Polizeiruf 110" airs at 8.15 p.m. under the title "Nur Gespenster" on Ersten.
Daughter Jessica disappeared from home without a trace as a teenager. She left her three years younger brother behind. Her mother is deeply saddened and firmly believes that Jessica is alive. Her father has long since given up and hopes that she died quickly. But then forensics make a strange discovery at a crime scene where a doctor has been murdered in a way that investigator Anton Pöschel (Andreas Guenther) characterizes as "torture at its finest". The find: Jessica's hair.
Investigators agree: mother is hiding something
The investigators take a close look at the family. Mother Evelyn (Judith Engel) in particular, who daydreams, lives in her very own world where she sees her daughter. The explosive König and the sensitive Böwe agree that she is hiding something and lying. And she is hiding something important: her husband brutally abused her daughter as a child. Son Henrik (Adrian Grünewald) has also witnessed this, and his life as an adult has gone completely off the rails.
While König struggles with her personal"ghost" - her own father seeks contact with her after more than 40 years - there is growing evidence that Jessica is alive and taking revenge on her tormentors. "You're next," she tells her father, who is strangled to death on his boat a short time later, but confesses beforehand that he raped his daughter. The mother, who has always covered up the life lie, also receives a call from the past at the end of the episode and goes to a meeting place with Jessica. However, she does not meet her daughter there.
