S1E1 - A Village on the Hunt
When DCI Barbara Kramer and her colleague Thomas Riedle get the message that a young woman from Buchingen has not returned home from a run, the local force and concerned villagers have already been searching for her for 17 hours. They face an uphill struggle to prevent evidence from being destroyed, a contingency which becomes more salient when a body is discovered 72 hours later.

Despite the team working many hours of overtime on the Berghoff case, there are still few leads to follow. The forensic team is able to isolate the DNA of an unknown male, but the databases do not provide a match.
