Among them are masseur Würselen, shop owner and nude cleaner Assenmacher and the former baker Lindenhofen. But the suspicion is initially directed at none other than Heike Schäffer, who has also booked herself into the Hotel Traube under a false name.

Season 2 - Episode 3 - Aired 9/18/2012

Unfortunately, the fun of the ornithologists is short-lived, because one of the students is found dead in the woods. Initially, Prof. Franzen is targeted by Sophie because very compromising photos show him in a bird costume together with the dead woman.

#20 - The carport

Season 3 - Episode 2 - Aired 9/16/2014

Professionally, she investigates the murder of Ines, Jan Schulte's cousin. The 21-year-old had been working for several months as an intern at the town hall, where her body was also found. During the investigation, Pit, the friend of the dead, and Fräulein Berger, the jealous secretary of Mayor Hans Zwanziger, first come under suspicion. Jan Schulte himself, who obviously has money problems and who shares a common inheritance with his dead cousin, is also targeted by the investigation. In the end, however, everything is completely different. In order to advance professionally, she blackmailed mayor Hans Zwanziger. With so many motives, Sophie Haas and her team have to pull out to find the murderer.

#21 - Deadly subject matter

Season 1 - Episode 11 - Aired 8/10/2010

Sophie is surprised – and Bärbel explains to her: The reason why Heike and Dietmar have been so distracted lately is the giftedness of their son Kevin. And since he has problems with the "normal" school thanks to his oversized IQ, he is supposed to move into the elite boarding school Lobberich, which is very close to Hengash. Even before Kevin is accepted there as a scholarship holder, his future teacher Dr. Kroy stupidly drops dead: heart attack – at least says Dr. Bechermann, the gynecologist of the district, who is all too often active in the emergency service. However, the autopsy reveals that it is not a natural death, because Kroy's teaching staff contains a huge amount of cocaine, which was apparently not taken consciously. So murder after all. Since Kroy enjoyed great unpopularity, there are also plenty of students and colleagues who could have been trusted with the deed.
