True crime documentary: Henrike Schemmer was sentenced to life imprisonment for a double murder. For the first time, she is speaking publicly about her conviction. She vehemently denies having stabbed her parents-in-law. Profiler Stefan Harbort reopens the case - with surprising results. On July 9, 2011, married couple Heinrich (75) and Waltraud Schemmer (68) are found dead in their house in Koblenz-Horchheim by their son Bernd and daughter-in-law Henrike. The bodies, which were stabbed several times, suggest an extremely brutal murder. Daughter-in-law Henrike Schemmer, who lives in Haren (Lower Saxony), soon becomes the focus of the investigation. She has no alibi for the suspected night of the crime. She is arrested in May 2012. A 24-day trial based on circumstantial evidence and witness statements follows in 2013. In prison for seven years – Henrike Schemmer breaks her silence for the first time On August 5, 2013, 46-year-old Henrike Schemmer was sentenced to life imprisonment with a special severity of guilt for the double murder of her parents-in-law. She is said to have killed the couple out of greed, with an eye on their inheritance. There is no DNA evidence, fingerprints, a confession, or witness testimony that clearly exposes the woman as the murderer. But in the judge's opinion, the evidence speaks against the daughter-in-law. Henrike Schemmer has been in prison for seven years. Now she wants to talk – for the first time and exclusively with SWR. The convicted mother of three children still protests her innocence. "My wife did not murder my parents," says her husband. Profiler recreates the crime and examines details Investigator and profiler Stephan Harbort, chief detective inspector at the Düsseldorf police headquarters, is to take another close look at her case, speak to everyone involved, and dissect the evidence. Harbort warns the prisoner: He is not coming to prove her innocence, but to meticulously reopen the case. Henrike Schemmer agrees. Viewers can follow the profiler's every step. Stephan Harbort begins the investigation and viewers are there during his research, travels and investigations; when he speaks to Henrike Schemmer for the first time in the prison, inspects the crime scene, questions witnesses. It quickly becomes clear: some of the evidence that led to Henrike Schemmer's conviction raises more questions than it proves the convicted woman's guilt. The daughter-in-law's presumed car journey to her parents-in-law on the night of the crime is reconstructed, the crime scene is recreated; forensic scientists and psychologists contribute findings to the case. What exactly happened? Was Henrike Schemmer perhaps the victim of a miscarriage of justice? Will Harbort succeed in finding solid evidence of her innocence and thus making a retrial possible? An exciting investigative journey into a highly complex double murder between a criminal case and a family drama. Investigate for yourself!
