Blood Red Sandman

Seit Jahrhunderten jagen und töten Menschen Wölfe. Sie gelten als gnadenlose Killer, und in vielen Teilen der Welt wurden sie ausgerottet. Yellowstone, der erste Nationalpark der Welt, war keine Ausnahme. Menschen schufen sich dort das idealisierte Bild eines Naturparadieses. Für Wölfe war darin kein Platz, und 1926 wurden die letzten Wölfe getötet. Statt die perfekte Wildnis zu schaffen, löste der Mensch in Yellowstone eine Kettenreaktion mit ungeahnten Folgen aus, die das gesamte Ökosystem des Nationalparks aus dem Gleichgewicht brachte. Ohne Wölfe vermehrte sich die Population der Wapiti-Rothirsche explosionsartig. Der Nationalpark versuchte, den Anstieg des Bestands durch gezielte Jagd in den 1960er Jahren zu dezimieren. Der Erfolg war nur von kurzer Dauer. Ohne Wölfe als natürlichen Feind vermehrten sich die Wapitis erneut sehr schnell, und die Öffentlichkeit wandte sich ebenfalls gegen die Tötung der Wapitis. 70 Jahre nachdem die letzten Wölfe durch den Yellowstone-Nationalpark streiften, wurden dort ab 1995 wieder Wölfe angesiedelt. Ein weltweit einmaliges Experiment, das damals wie heute viele Befürworter, aber auch entschiedene Gegner hatte. Für Yellowstone entpuppte sich die Wiederansiedlung der Wölfe als Segen. Denn die Tiere taten, was von ihnen erwartet wurde. Das Ökosystem veränderte sich grundlegend - mit überraschenden Folgen für Tier- und Pflanzenwelt.

Yellowstone - Das Geheimnis der Wölfe

Business is not going particularly well at Taubenbaum burials in Hepperlingen. That is why Lisa Taubenbaum is working more often as a physiotherapist again, her brother Hannes is more likely to do shop counters than coffins and father Alfons is busy working on the council. The corpse of a young woman at a bus stop brings work, but since nobody knows who it is, an unprofitable burial at state expense is to be expected. That's why Alfons has absolutely nothing against Lisa trying to clarify the identity of the stranger. This dead woman does not leave his daughter in peace; a cardiac arrest at that age gives her pause. Lisa's persistent research does indeed reveal a number of inconsistencies, but village policeman Andi has only limited interest in them. But Lisa knows the Stuttgart inspector Thomas Zellinger, whom she would like to see again anyway. There is also enough for him to do professionally. Because the car key of the dead leads Lisa to an accident car in the forest - and in the trunk to the body of old Dürr. Now the local council is also involved, because Dürr owned a hard-fought property that plays a major role in the already controversial Hepperlinger expansion plans. While the dispute in the municipal council continues to escalate, the parties are trying to win the votes of the council members and Alfons is wrestling with his conscience, Lisa starts the dangerous task of clearing up the connection between the death of old Dürr and the young woman.

Die Bestatterin - Die unbekannte Tote

Georg and Regine Schlegel, both behavior researchers, die in a traffic accident while their three adult children are making preparations for their 40th wedding anniversary. Old conflicts resurface due to the fact that there seems to be no will and everyone has very different ideas about what should happen to their parents' house. In addition, Leo is Georg's biological daughter, Maren is Regine's biological daughter and Mattes is the only son of both parents. Worrying that they might go away empty-handed, the three of them do things they never thought they could do. Above all, the overly correct Maren does not want to be cheated by her siblings and suppresses the will, which does exist. Nobody yet suspects that Judith, who is accommodated in the Schlegel villa as an art scholarship holder, is a daughter of Georg and thus another heir. The chaos is perfect when it turns out that the house is saddled with a lot of debt. The four must now pull together to save the family inheritance in the interests of their parents.
