Polizeiruf 110: Der Verurteilte

SINOPSIS

After a blind date with an Internet acquaintance, the young domestic nurse Valerie Klein disappears. Her best friend and neighbor Sandra Möller wakes up the next morning to the cry of Valerie's daughter Janet. The missing person lands on the desk of Chief Detective Doreen Brasch and an intensive search begins. The first traces lead nowhere. But then her necklace and traces of blood are found in the house of a deceased patient of Valerie. The gardener Markus Wegner has rented a barn on the farm. First he blocks the conversation with Brasch. But during the interrogation he suddenly claims to have killed Valerie and another woman. The latter case has long been closed. The perpetrator has been serving his sentence for several years. Brasch was also the investigating commissioner at the time. Despite clear warnings from the public prosecutor's office, she is now investigating Wegner's claim and hoping that his wife is a key to both cases. Not only does it risk her job as a commissioner, she also becomes a target.
