If we rule out the Loch Ness monster,

it's our best bet at the moment.

But you don't have a single witness.

Nobody's seen or heard a thing.

Yes I know, but the canals make

an excellent hiding place.

You can move around the

whole city without being noticed.

What do you think, John?

Those two must have been taken

completely by surprise last night.

It's unlikely the killer just

came sailing up to them.

Some people sure have strange hobbies.

- Have you got enough manpower?

- For now, yes.

Keep me posted,

and if you need anything let me know.

Let's hope we won't be needing

any more of those flags.

These are all the registered

divers in Holland

Great... that makes around 8,000 suspects.

- Including you of course.

- I have an alibi.

I've tracked down the taxi driver as well.

What did he have to say?

He picked up the victim at around 1:30 am...

and he claims she tried to make a pass at him.

He threw her out of the car, he says.

The opposite was more likely.

- He also has a water-tight alibi.

- No surprise there.

Hello? Yes.

Good, go on...

Okay, thanks.

They've found a small piece of

black rubber on the tip of the anchor.

- The lab has analysed it.

- It's from a wetsuit.

We're on the right track.

- Has Potter traced that rope?

- What rope?

The one the girl

was tied to the bridge with.

We've traced the manufacturer.

All shops and other outlets are being checked.

At least everyone is earning their keep.

It's almost mid-day.

- Lunch-time?

- Only if you have a strong stomach.

16 stab wounds,

of which at least 8 were fatal.

It was such a mess in there that

some organs were completely displaced.

Broken neck, two broken ribs,

splintered nose bone, water in the lungs,

various bruises and grazes...

He must have gone at her like an animal.

- The murder weapon?

- A sharp knife.

Look, here's the point.

It was broken off by the force of the stabbing.

Probably a carving knife with a blade

of between 25 and 30 centimetres.

In the stomach we found traces

of red wine and two hamburgers...

...almost certainly McDonald's.

Was she dead before

she was dragged into the water?

Not quite, judging by the

amount of water in the lungs.

He finished the job off underwater.

She was in any case dead before

she was strung up from the bridge.

Put her back into cold storage, Theo.

And these are our fishing friends.

He did an even more gruesome job on these two.

I'll spare you the finer details.

One of them was completely decapitated.

Evidently, that took place underwater.

They both had the remains of a

vegetarian meal in their stomachs.

Lentils, millet, carrot juice...

but one of them later consumed a hot dog.
