Melody's Smile

Chamber of Death

Die Kammer der toten Kinder

While on a joyride with the headlights turned off, two men hit and kill 

another man carrying a satchel full of money. The two men decide to take 

the money and throw the body into a pond and bury the money in a coal hill. 

The next morning the police discover the body of a kidnapped 12-year blind 

girl, Melody, in a warehouse near the site of the hit-and-run. They determine 

that the kidnapper saw the girl's father bringing the ransom to him and also 

witnessed the hit-and-run and the men stealing the ransom. The kidnapper 

kills the girl but poses her body with an odd smile and in clothing that 

resembles a popular doll. The autopsy reveals that the girl was gently strangled 

and had cedar chips in her shoes and wolf hair on her nightgown. Her scalp was 

also damaged apparently from someone constantly brushing her hair. The kidnapper 

left finger prints but with no ridges for identification.

Two days later, another 12-year old girl is kidnapped. She is diabetic and 

only has enough medicine for 40 hours. The profiler thinks the kidnapper is 

the same man and is deriving some kind of pleasure from what he's doing.
