Snow White is a TV film from the crime series Polizeiruf 110 . The film, produced for Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR), was first broadcast on February 12, 2006. Chief Inspector Herbert Schmücke ( Jaecki Schwarz ) and Chief Inspector Herbert Schneider ( Wolfgang Winkler ) are investigating their 30th joint case.

In order to solve the murder of a sixteen-year-old girl, Schmücke and Schneider get behind the bourgeois facades of apparently respectable business people during their investigations.

action

Anja Wilke, a young girl, is found completely scared by the police. A medical exam shows she was raped, but she cannot remember. Since the drug test is negative, Schmücke and Schneider are puzzled because there is no explanation for the girl's condition. Her father immediately suspects her friend Sven Reif, who lives in a shared apartment and, in his opinion, is not the right contact for his daughter.

A little later, the investigators find the body of Sandra Breitmeier, with whom Anja Wilke went to a discotheque that evening. Since the drug screening detects the drug GHB , the investigators' suspicion that Anja Wilke must also have consumed this drug is confirmed. Her boyfriend says that Anja had a lot of drinks with a strange guy in the nightclub they went to together. So the discotheque operator is interviewed, who can remember Anja well and states that Anja “threw herself up” on a Joe and then her boyfriend vigorously fetched her away. According to his memory, however, she only drank Coke.

A DNA test now shows that the sperm traces found on Anja Wilke come from four different people, including her friend Sven. He was arrested immediately and the flat was searched. The investigators discover a drug kitchen and therefore arrest Sven Reif's roommates Markus and Eddie. However, the DNA results do not match them.

With the help of Anja and Sven, a phantom image of the ominous Joe can be created, whereupon a Thorsten Rabe can be identified who has direct access to GHB via his job, a substance that is used in the furniture industry but is also abused as a drug can. Furthermore, it can be proven that he organized a large party in his apartment on the evening of the crime, which took place not too far from the place where Sandra Breitmeier's body was found. When Rabe is about to be arrested, he is fleeting and already on the way to the airport, where he is hit by a car and cannot be questioned for the time being. It is already clear to the investigators that Rabe organized so-called "Snow White parties", since there are clear traces of the two girls in Rabe's apartment. GHB is known as a rape drug because it renders those affected mindless. He has often procured girls for these parties from discos and then made them available to his clients.

In search of the participants of the last party, they meet Rainer Ketelhut, insurance agent Harald Lübke and the entrepreneur Edgar Schwerdtfeger, with whom Schmücke had already discovered in the course of the investigation that these three men are well known and entangled with each other. The decisive factor in removing the last doubt is the shoe print of orthopedic shoes that was found at the place where the body was found. Rainer Ketelhut wears such shoes. Schwerdtfeger also paid the party service bill. Because of these facts, the three are arrested. Ketelhut is responsible for the murder of Sandra. When he recognized the girl, he gave her the drug again so she wouldn't recognize him. He didn't want her to die in the process.

criticism

The television magazine TV Spielfilm found: "The 30th Schmücke / Schneider is rather bland".

Rainer Tittelbach at Tittelbach.tv wrote: “In Halle, a rapist who drugs his victims is up to mischief - and jewelery and tailors are required. At last! This is also noticeable in the plot and the dramaturgy. Good cast, effective direction, solid Whodunit . "
