Trauma - No Forgetting
An innocent serial killer?
Two brutally mutilated corpses. Two crime scenes bearing the signature of Franz Bichler. But the serial killer, recently released from prison, has an alibi for these crimes. Is there a copycat out there? Inspector Katja Sand delves into the lives of the victims: surgical nurse Selma Kiefer, 65, worked in a hospital, as did pediatric surgeon Thomas Goldt, 72. Can a motive for the crimes be found in that shared link? Katja turns to trauma expert Dr. Alexander Hanning. Based on the cruel mutilation inflicted on the corpses, he concludes that the perpetrator was a person with a dysfunctional relationship with their own body. In fact, Goldt had undergone a sex adaption surgery in the 1960s. Is the murderer perhaps someone who has been living all this time with the wrong gender?
