Baltic Crimes: Schneewittchen

SYNOPSIS

School secretary Annett Ludwig is jogging by the sea. Under a steep cliff she discovers a dead teenager: Theo Jacobsen, a student at her school. The 17-year-old was considered an inconspicuous outsider. Karin Lossow knows Theo from business school, where she teaches a course on legal issues as part of a project week. By chance, she had observed a bullying attack on the best in the class, Theo, and offered the boy her help. Rainer Witt and his colleagues Holm Brendel and Dorit Martens examine Theo's laptop. It turns out he ran a thriving trade in test questions, which he sold to his classmates, making thousands of dollars in profit. To do this, the alleged model student used access to the server of the board of directors - only school secretary Ludwig knew the password. Theo was deeply in love with their daughter Paula. But Paula raves about Karol Wilcek, who has nothing to do with the pubescent classmate. Theo apparently wanted to prove to Paula that she loves the wrong person. Deputy headmaster Bernhard Brinkhaus, who is trying to cover up traces of his influence on Theo, is at the center of the investigation. The suspicion of an abusive relationship between a teacher and his underage charge comes to mind.
