She must have caught a cold while skiing

She has a fever of almost 40 degrees.

What do they want?

They brought food.

There's only our little Eva left...

and we wondered for a long time

if we'd take her with us

or if it was better

to leave her with you.

As you can imagine, Mom,

and certainly you too, dear Dad,

our decision caused us

both heartache and headaches

because even though we're sure

of what's best for us,

it's something else entirely

to decide the fate

of the one we love above all else.

Perhaps you'll remember last Easter,

when we all heard

that cantata at your church.

It said:

"I rejoice at the thought of death."

And Evi said afterwards:

"Me too"...

and you were so scared.

We've talked about it

a lot since then

and I know that death

doesn't scare Evi at all.

Now that we've decided

to take her with us,

we've talked about it again with her

and it was both

beautiful and sad

to realize

how easy it was for her

to agree to stay with us.

I think that, remembering

the life we led,

it is easy

to accept the idea of an end.

I beg you, don't be sad

don't blame yourselves

and don't take it as

any kind of criticism:

What I'm telling you

is a simple observation

that has nothing to do with you.

With all my love,

Your son Georg.

I think we'll only manage

to do it this way.

You'd better put on

some nice shoes, princess.

And be careful

not to hurt yourself.

Sure.

No.

No, let go of me!

Let me go!

Calm down!

Stop it!

I'm sorry.

I think I heard something.

Yes?

This is the phone repair service.

We were called about your telephone.

People can't reach you.

You must have badly

hung up the receiver.

Yes, that's correct.

I didn't want to be reached.

- You know that's forbidden.

- No.

We're required to cut off

your phone service.

I see.

That's not necessary.

I'll hang up the phone.

May I see your phone?

No!

Goodbye.

Can I still watch TV in the bedroom?

This is so bitter.

Dear Jesus, let me be a good girl

so I can go to heaven.

The S. family was found on

January 17, 1989.

Subsequent to a request

from the wife's worried brother,

the door of the apartment

was knocked down.

On February 20, the family was buried.

In spite of the letter

left for the parents,

they refused to believe

it was a suicide

and filed a murder complaint

against Parties Unknown.

The police investigation following up

on this suspicion

was without results.

The matter was filed as an unsolved case.
