Struggling for leads they come across a mysterious piece of forensic evidence that doesn't quite fit. It points to a missing girl, presumed dead - the daughter of politician Rosa Hartung. But a man has already confessed to her murder, and the case is long since closed. The body count keeps rising, as another woman is found murdered. Once again, a chestnut man is found with the victim.
