Overview
Eight-year-old Lukas was kidnapped on the street. And while fleeing the crime scene, the kidnapper also kills the only witness. Ballauf and Schenk are puzzled. Why was the boy kidnapped? Is it blackmail? Lukas comes from an intact family that lives in modest circumstances. Or is there a sex offender at work here? The boy's mother, Simone Schäfer, reacted completely upset to the shockingNews. Her sister and brother-in-law stand by her side. And Lukas' father Roman Sasse, who travels a lot as a freelance software consultant, is also there immediately. The remains of Lukas' mobile phone are secured in the completely burned-out crime vehicle. However, the children's cell phone is not registered in the name of Lukas' parents, but in the name of Ruth Junghann. But she has never heard of Lukas Schäfer.
About the show
Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
