Yvonne und der Tod

Yvonne und der Tod

Yvonne Gaspers, 37 Jahre alt und ledig, ist seit zehn Tagen verschwunden. Sie arbeitet als Steuerprüferin beim Finanzamt, auch dort wundert man sich, wo sie steckt. Ihre Schwester alarmiert die Polizei Mönchengladbach. Lee Sooyoung von der Vermisstenstelle nimmt sich der Meldung an. Überraschenderweise findet sie Ingo Thiels Visitenkarte in der Manteltasche der Vermissten. Sooyoung zögert nicht lange und ruft den Kollegen hinzu. Er kenne sie, sagt Thiel, aber nur flüchtig. Er sei mit Yvonne auf ein Date gegangen, es sei jedoch bei nur einem Treffen geblieben. Als Thiel in der Wohnung der Vermissten steht, bemerkt er einen flüchtigen, aber dennoch unverwechselbaren Geruch. Sofort ruft er die Spurensicherung hinzu. Und sein Instinkt trügt keineswegs: Hier wurde akribisch und mit Hilfe von Chemikalien geputzt. Für Thiel scheint klar, dass hier jemand die Spuren eines Verbrechens verwischt hat. Trotzdem: Ohne Leiche und entsprechende Indizien fehlen die Voraussetzungen, eine Ermittlungsgruppe zusammenzustellen. Das sehen auch Thiels Kollegen so und werfen ihm vor, in diesem Fall keine emotionale Distanz zu haben. Offensichtlich hat es mindestens ein Abendessen zwischen Thiel und der Vermissten gegeben. Sie haben das Gefühl, ihr Chef verheimliche ihnen etwas, und warnen ihn, sich nicht zu verrennen. Doch er lässt nicht locker, vielleicht ist Yvonne noch am Leben. Entgegen den Mahnungen seines Teams nimmt Thiel die Ermittlungen auf eigene Faust auf. Für ihn ist es längst ein Fall. Und zwar einer, der ihn bis ans Mittelmeer treibt, um Antworten zu finden.
