Römer Reihe - Das Lied der Toten Mädchen plot
Sauerland, autumn 1995: On the Wilzenberg a hiker finds the body of Sonja Risse, a secondary school girl. However, the fact that the killer leaves a music box with the lullaby "Hush Little Baby" at the scene of the crime does not lead to a solution. In Cologne, 25 years later, investigative journalist Stefanie "Mütze" Schneider makes a surprising discovery: in a disused parking garage she films an undressed male corpse - with a music box next to it. When her colleague Jan Römer, who reported on the spectacular case of Sonja in 1995 as a junior journalist, recognizes the melody of that time, he immediately believes there is a connection and sets out to investigate.
