According to forensic pathologist Dr. Strahl, the cause of death was electrocution from a hairdryer. The room was locked from the inside. Suicide? An accident? Evidence at the scene suggests murder. The distraught Gerlach claims to have been unaware of the crime. Suspicion falls on his daughter, Melanie Böhm.

Melanie maintains she knew nothing of her father's plan. But then who secretly searched Sylwia's room? Written by ARD Das Erste See less
