As a partner in a private bank, Jan Lippens not only made a name for himself professionally, he also lived a lavish life in his private life. His wife Tatjana adorned him with her unusual beauty and chic, at least in the little time he had left for her. Whenever she felt neglected or her golden shackles became too tight, she spent money. Her tendency to buy superfluous things in the most expensive shops soon developed into an addiction, so that Jan blocked her credit cards and accounts and began to beat his beloved to avoid being dragged into ruin. Although Dr. Strehler (who had also provided psychotherapy to Tatjana's sister Sophie von Wessling after her engagement to Jan had broken off) took a close look at the psychological side of the problem, and a scandal ensued: Tatjana had "Nolde", the last painting of value in the Lippens family, forged, and had obviously sold the original so that she could continue to buy outrageously expensive lingerie from the exclusive Lambert company. That same evening, Tatjana was strangled with her scarf on the way to her sister's and hung up like an orchid in the children's playground.
