Drifting Snow is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk was first broadcast on December 18, 2005 on ARD's first program. The Munich investigator duo Batic and Leitmayr are investigating their 42nd case.
action
At night in a snowstorm, an almost naked girl crawls in front of an off-road vehicle. A driver gets out and pushes the girl out into the street and then waits in the car until she stays in the cold. But it can still damage the headlight of the car.
The next morning a forester finds the frozen girl. The inspectors Batic and Leitmayr have hardly any clues, only the shard of the headlight gives hope for clues. A student colleague of the murdered identifies her as Stefanie Thaller. She worked in a discotheque near the site on the northern outskirts of Munich. In the student's room there are calls on the answering machine from the student's father and from a Kris asking her forgiveness. The commissioners learn that Kris is the operator of the nightclub. He wanted a relationship with Stefanie, but she was against it. So there was an argument after which Stefanie fled the discotheque during the night.
In the meantime, the commissioners inform the father of the murdered, a street vendor , of the incident. He is shocked and wants to speak to the perpetrator. As a result, he observes the activities of the police and harassed the respective suspects. During an on-site visit at the crime scene, Leitmayr observed a Porsche Cayenne nearby. He can recognize part of the license plate. Since the shard that was found also came from a Porsche Cayenne, the police examined all cars of this type with the familiar number detail. All owners can show a safe alibi, only the apparently wealthy young speculator Oliver Hufland only has his girlfriend's alibi.
His friend Jasper Bruckner lives with Hufland. Both were aspiring business consultants until recently , but were fired for insider trading . The decisive indicator for the banking supervision was the email traffic from Bruckner, which he had not deleted contrary to Hufland's instructions. After the inspectors succeed in unsettling Hufland's friend, she changes her information on Hufland's alibi, as she fell asleep that evening and therefore cannot absolutely confirm whether her boyfriend has been in the house continuously. During the interrogation, Bruckner confessed that Hufland in particular abused the girl out of frustration because of the imminent jail sentence against her and left her lying in the snow, and that he unfortunately participated. He realizes that Hufland staged the whole incident in order to accuse Bruckner of murder as revenge for her professional decline.
During the showdown in the nocturnal forest, Thaller, the father of the murdered girl, chases after the two perpetrators, who were able to stay at large "thanks" to their lawyer. When Bruckner gets out of the dispute, Thaller tries to speak to him, whereby he flees and falls into the Isar. The inspectors can still save Bruckner and arrest him and Hufland, while Thaller remains alone in the snow-covered forest.
In a subplot, Menzinger is falsely accused by a punk woman of beating her. He is grappled with by the internal manhunt and suffers greatly from it, while Batic and Leitmayr ask him to research their case. Against all the rules, Menzinger visits the girl at home and asks her to tell the truth. She then actually comes to the police and does so.
