Tatort S2008E10 - Ballauf - 40 - Müll

"Mutilated woman's body found after fire at rubbish dump", headlines the sensational press and puts the public prosecutor von Prinz under pressure to act: But the search for clues by Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk falters. After the fire, the body is no longer identifiable. And there are no witnesses. Neither Peter Esser, the managing director of the small disposal company on whose premises the charred body was found, nor the young gardener Kaja Krumme,who reported the fire to the fire brigade in the early hours of the morning, noticed something suspicious. Only Willy, a solitary rubbish collector from Ballauf's neighborhood, knows that there were several fires at the recycling center two years ago. There is talk of the garbage mafia, which is putting pressure on smaller recycling companies in a targeted manner. The detectives want to question Esser's secretary. But she cannot be found.
