New Franken “Tatort” pairs Voss with investigator Emmy Rathgeber

New Franken “Tatort” pairs Voss with investigator Emmy Rathgeber

Emmy Rathgeber joins Felix Voss as a new investigator in the Franken “Tatort” crime series.

Their first case is set in the Obermain region of Franconia, where Rathgeber begins work with the Nuremberg police.

They investigate the killing of Elias, a young performer who was found with his throat cut.

The case leads them to Elias’s parents and two friends from his youth, as they uncover what happened to the group years earlier.

The story examines the difference between law and justice, including the rule that someone acquitted once cannot be tried again for the same offence, even if new evidence later emerges.

It also explores family silence, revenge and tensions around traditional gender roles.

Rathgeber’s arrival starts a new chapter for the Franken team, though the sources do not say what will happen in its next case.
