During the third season, Mina Amiri is on maternity leave. Detective Inspector Caro Haffner will represent you during this time. After the end of her term of representation, she first switched to the Department of Organized Crime and later to the evidence room.
In the fourth season, Chief Detective Daniel Prinz steals money from the evidence room because of his father's financial problems and is then arrested by his colleague Sandra Reiss for embezzlement. He will be replaced by Chief Detective Mark Lohmann, a former GSG-9 officer. In the last episode, Daniel Prinz appears again, he is investigating a corrupt commissioner undercover.

He later goes into hiding and can only be stopped from suicide by his colleagues. Then he goes to inpatient treatment. His successor is Chief Detective Alexander von Tal, who initially has big problems with the rest of the team, but then finds access to Mina Amiri in particular, which ends in an affair between the two. In the last episode of the season, Alexander von Tal joins the homicide squad and leaves the team.

At the end of the first episode of the eighth season, Alexander von Tal asks Oliver Radek whether his position at the missing persons position is still vacant and he may return. The answer is positive. At the end of the eighth season, Detective Inspector Lucy Elbe decides to take part in an exchange program in Sweden and is leaving the team temporarily.
In the ninth season, Jessica Papst joins the team as a substitute for Lucy Elbe.
Reality reference
The procedure in the series has no relation to the work of the actual missing persons office of the Berlin police, which is integrated in a department that also deals with all arson in Berlin, explosions and endangered offenses in connection with rail, ship and air traffic, identification measures by takes care of unknown deaths, child abduction, mistreatment and neglect of wards and cases of infanticide. The assumption that in reality the police only act if a person is missing for more than 24 hours is not correct, because they act without time reference if the person in question has left their usual circle of life and their current whereabouts are unknown and can also be assumed to pose a risk to life or limb of the person.
