Dr. Mark Benecke

There are cases on the periphery that are too weird even for Mark Benecke's colleagues: Accident or murder? Can you kill people with body parts? Did a man who deals in weapons and runs a brothel really not shoot the now dead man in his bar this one time? Can police officers falsify evidence so that the very person who was last seen with the now dead woman is wrongly suspected? The answers are tricky, but exciting - as long as you don't think, but make the clues speak without making assumptions. Forensic biologist DR. MARK BENECKE takes a bizarre and sometimes disgusting approach to exciting questions that sometimes you would rather not have answered: Why, for example, are the fingernails of the bloated male corpse so long and what kind of maggot is crawling out of the corner of its mouth at the same time? So it is not death that is BENECKE's job, but life after death. If the maggots expose the murderer, he has done everything right... Follow him into a shocking and fascinating world. BENECKE's analysis of various insects found on corpses has already put a stop to countless criminals worldwide. However, the viewer's stomach can easily turn at the sight of some of the photos. This is because the pictures shown are not the usual ones, but images of severely disfigured corpses. The really interesting questions can only be answered with detailed close-ups. The Cologne-based criminal biologist was trained by the FBI and operates internationally. BENECKE has set up special laboratories in Colombia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Numerous radio and TV appearances testify to the great public interest in his work. Here the viewer is given an insight into the work of one of the best-known and most successful criminal biologists in the world ...
