Feline Wagner disappeared a year ago and a friend reported her missing. Now her body is found by chance in a burial forest during preparations for an urn burial.

Observing that Martina Bönisch's emotional life is putting a strain on herself and her work doesn't leave Faber unmoved. Rosa Herzog and Jan Pawlak contact the Ihle funeral home: The gravesite was reserved here, a few days after Feline Wagner disappeared. It was paid for in cash by a man who gave a false name. Another murder victim is rescued, just a few steps away from the first. There was a year between the two murders - and soon twelve months have passed again...

Season 54 Episode 10 - Aired 3/26/2023
Almost all of Alt-Bützenich is deserted and boarded up. At night a security service checks on everything. It was decided that the houses and the church would have to give way to open-cast mining. Then the climate change brings new hope: the old village can stay. But the once close-knit village community has long since disappeared with the move to Neu-Bützenich. As Dr. When Christian Franzen, the local doctor, is informed that his empty house has been broken into, he immediately sets off - but never returns home. His wife Betje turns to the police, who find her husband - shot dead in the old village. Even though everyone here was a patient of the doctor, he was still not particularly popular. During their investigation, detectives Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk uncover a torn community. Time cannot simply be turned back here in the lignite mining area.
