slightly absent, as she’s turning his back to him, trying to find the photo album.

                          Tom continues. "I was out talking to Johan's biological mother yesterday.”
                          “Oh yeah?” she answers, again slightly distant. She holds a large brown

                   leather photo album in front of her with both hands, and begins to read what is

                   written on the cover of it. “Photo Album of Beatrice & Johan”.
                   She slits back into her leather chair again and says. “I didn’t know his biological

                   mother was still alive. I thought she had died a long time ago. I knew his sweet

                   adoptive parents though. They were very close to each other.”
                          Tom nods and says. "I think everyone had come to terms with and consid-

                   ered his adoptive parents as his real parents, and so far it is also completely sub-
                   ordinate to the case. The real problem here is that we have been sloppy with the

                   police work in terms of clarification.

                          ”Yeah, I know. Who is Johan's biological mother then? It something a
                   spouse - or ex-spouse - should know. Haha.“ She laughs.

                           Tom answers in a more serious manner. “Let me tell you. Inge-Lise is her

                   name. She’s well into her nineties now. She was engaged to Dieter Kräsen for a
                   number of years ago, and at a time during their engagement, she became preg-

                   nant. She lived with Dieter in Hamburg. And Dieter Kräsen, who worked for his
                   father, who started the Kräsen company, has been responsible for setting up new

                   branches of company. Due to growing demand on dairy products in Germany and

                   internationally, he was taking care of the exports. All boiled down it means that
                   he, even though being an illegitimate son, is heir to kingdom of Kräsen. Dieter

                   managed, just after World War II ended, to get Kräsen’s agriculture and dairy

                   business up in the super-league. First as Germany's largest, then as one of the
                   world's largest dairies - Top 5.”

                          She looks at him with big eyes, eagerly listening.

                          “All this could be done because his father Walther Stormann, who had
                   been handed over vast land areas in his possession by the Nazis. Mainly around

                   Munich but also a number of other places in Germany.

                          Beatrice interjects, surprised. “Did you say the Nazis? They cooperated
                   with the Nazis?”

                          Tom answers briefly. “Yes. And in very large scale.”
                          Beatrice shakes her head. “And Johan, where does he fit in all this?"
