Jambo

Beissl's dentist, the passionate (big game) hunter Dr. Björn Heckerl, is found dead, bound and gagged, in the basement of his villa by his longtime girlfriend Gabriele. At first, nothing seems to be missing from the house, which poses a major puzzle for the investigators. Gabriele, as the owner of a local inn, has an airtight alibi. And Heckerl's daughter Michaela can also prove through social media posts that she wasn't home at the time of his death. However, an older post by Michaela leads the investigators to discover that something is indeed missing from the house: the head of the rhinoceros Jambo, whose horn fetches high prices on the black market. A storm of criticism erupts against the hunter in the comments section, with forester Helga Lohberger, whose son Sven still lives with her, being particularly vocal in her criticism. Did she want to punish Heckerl for his hunting? Or are international gangs behind it, specializing in such burglaries?
