Leonard Lansink as Detective Wilsberg

 

Storyline

 

Lea's 18-year-old son Marc has disappeared, and in her desperation the woman turns to her old school friend Georg Wilsberg, the private detective from Munster. She tells Wilsberg of the disappearance of her son and asks Wilsberg to look for him.

 

The private detective gets to work immediately and the trail leads him eventually to an abandoned barn. However, he is too late, because he finds the 18-year-old Marc shot.

 

Wilsberg inform the mother about her son's death. She cannot begin to explain herself who or why someone would shoot Marc. It is her maternal opinion that her son was an amiable and good-natured person who could have done nobody any harm that would justify such an act.

 

Coincidentally, Wilsberg’s friend Ekki Talkotter is now at Marc’s school. He is meant to speak about his career as a tax audit to a class of children. Since Ekki is already at the school, he can perform discreet investigations regarding the environment of the murdered Marc.

 

This investigation and the one carried out by private detective Wilsberg result in a picture of the deceased, but it does not match at all with the drawing that his mother provided.

 

According to the investigations, Marc was involved with drugs. In addition, Marc seems to not have been a very pleasant guy, because it shows that he terrorized both his friends and school teachers.

 

Consequently, just about everyone seems to have had a motive to kill Marc. Thus, further investigations are obviously not very easy, because they must still capture Marc’s murderer.
