Polizeiruf 110: Das Licht, das die Toten sehen

ÖZET

A dead girl, wrapped in plastic, buried. No usable traces. No concrete clues. Chief inspector Elisabeth "Bessie" Eyckhoff tries to solve the murder of 16-year-old Laura Schmidt. Together with Dennis Eden, who has now also switched to homicide, Bessie searches for clues and comes across an earlier case: the disappearance of Anne Ludwig, who was also 16 at the time. Is there a connection between these two cases? Both girls got into a white van after the evening's ice skating. Suddenly Caroline Ludwig appears in the police station. She wants to know if the girl found is her missing daughter Anna. Bessie has to deny this. When initial investigations revealed that Caroline Ludwig of all people was the last to speak to Laura, the very unstable-looking woman is under strong suspicion. Bessie believes in her innocence, but the evidence against Caroline Ludwig mounts.
