Radio presenter murdered: A mysterious podcast in focus!

On June 5, 2025, the investigation into a mysterious murder case that is directly related to the disappearance of the radio presenter Laura will be re-examined. The victim received numerous anonymous calls before the crime, which the police are now analyzing in detail. Interestingly, it turned out that her husband, Lars, was the sender of these calls. This revelation raises questions about the stability of their marriage. The case takes a turn as more and more details emerge, pointing to tensions in both the victim's personal and professional relationships.

During the night of the crime, Laura was busy working on a true crime podcast in which she discussed the unsolved case of Rabea Kaufmann, who disappeared in 2008. Detectives are currently examining 18 hours of audio material collected by Laura on this case, as well as old investigative files, to determine possible links between the two cases. The relationship between Laura and her colleague Susann Johlig was tense and could also play a role. Information from ZDF suggests that Matthais Vollmer, Rabea Kaufmann's stepfather, will be questioned again because he was the focus of the investigation at the time.

The Cologne journalist and anonymous tips

A Cologne journalist who was in contact with Laura on the day of the crime is also targeted by the investigators. His knowledge of the case could be crucial in shedding light on the matter. An anonymous caller from the podcast “The Anonymous Caller” who is involved in the investigation is also mentioned. These insights, which can be heard in Podcasts, address a long-unsolved murder that is gradually being forgotten as a cold case and sheds light on the violent rapes that are often between the lines in such murder cases.

To further understand what happened, police will also need to review older files and evidence. The extensive evidence could turn out to be the key to solving Laura's murder and the disappearance of Rabea Kaufmann. As the investigation progresses, the question remains whether the two cases are actually connected and what role Laura's suspicious environment plays in this.
