Violent death can be cruel, and the imagination of a perpetrator as well as their behavior during the act are extreme and bizarre. All too often, we glimpse the darkest sides of the human psyche in homicide cases, into bottomless abysses. Why did a person have to die, so suddenly and completely unexpectedly? What did the victim have to endure? What exactly happened in the final moments of their life? Forensic experts unravel the mysteries that death brings. Why were seven people brutally executed with gunshots to the head in a restaurant? What fate befell a vivacious woman whose trail suddenly vanished almost three decades ago? How did a man become a cold-blooded contract killer? Where did the bodies from the morgue disappear to? How did the sexual murderer carry out his horrific series of crimes? Forensic expert Klaus Püschel has been internationally recognized for four decades.
