In the summer of 2023, journalists Leonie Bartsch and Linn Schütze receive a message: a woman has been serving a prison sentence for stalking for more than a year. But even during her imprisonment, the stalking continues. Apparently, she is not the perpetrator.

Is this person sitting in prison innocently? And if she is not the perpetrator, who is behind it? Or rather: Who is currently behind it?

This marks the beginning of an extensive investigation, during which the two podcasters become increasingly uncertain as to whether they are the pursuers – or are themselves becoming the pursued.

Prof. Dr. Till Krause worked on this podcast series as a dramaturgical consultant to ensure that the story – which spans several episodes – remains exciting and comprehensible. Which scenes are suitable as an introduction? How is suspense built and maintained, and how are cliffhangers created that make the audience want to hear the next episodes? How can you ensure that this complex case remains understandable in all its details?
