Tatort: Der Turm

OPIS

Janneke and Brix are called to a crime scene at night. A young woman, scantily clad, with a plastic bag pulled over her head, lies dead at the feet of one of Frankfurt's bank towers. While Janneke arrives early at the secured and cleared crime scene, Brix is late. The KTU is also not there yet. Janneke goes alone into the tower and gets a first impression of the crime scene, takes photos, as is so often the case. Suddenly she hears footsteps behind her. She instinctively reaches for her camera. A couple of times a flashlight illuminates the scene, then a blow. When Brix finally arrives, he finds Janneke unconscious in the elevator. She is taken to hospital with a traumatic brain injury. Brix goes to work alone and quickly reaches the limits of the hermetically sealed tower. When Janneke regains consciousness in the hospital, she can only vaguely remember. She is also under strong medication and no longer trusts her own head. Only her photos give her something to hold onto in her extremely foggy memories. The perpetrator himself cannot really be recognized in any of the pictures, only sections, blurry details, overexposed fragments. Together, Brix and Janneke try to put together a clear picture of the crime from the contradicting scraps of memory, the photos and witness statements. All threads come together in the tower. The commissioners have to gain access again.
