Kurtz Detective Agency Dresden on RTL Punkt 12: Threat Letters and Stalking
At the end of 2015, RTL Punkt 12 covered a case handled by Kurtz Detective Agency Dresden. The clients, a couple from Leipzig, had been terrorised for years with threatening and hate letters, defamation, unsolicited parcel deliveries and several other assaults. Although our private detectives were able to locate the perpetrator’s residence using mantrailing dogs, the police remained inactive for months. Two years have now passed, during which evidence even went missing from the authorities’ hands – an outrageous scandal.
The TV segment in full
Katja Burkard: "They have not had a moment of peace for three years. Kerstin and Bernd constantly receive anonymous letters in which they are insulted in the worst possible way. Expensive newspaper subscriptions and parcels that they never ordered also arrive. Because they do not know what else to do and no one is helping them, we have assigned stalking expert Leo Martin to assist them, and he is immediately following a hot lead. Lukas Stege and Denise Westphal report."
Psychological terror and a concrete suspicion
Leo Martin fought organised crime as a secret agent for ten years. Today he uses his skills to confront stalkers. In Leipzig, the ex-spy meets Bernd Mahn and Kerstin Kolditz, whose couple is being severely harassed.
Leo Martin: "You called because you are in a situation where you do not know how to proceed. What is happening here?"
Kerstin Kolditz: "That is correct. We are at a point where we can say we have experienced psychological pressure and stress for three years now."
The couple receives parcels they never ordered and threatening letters in which Kerstin Kolditz is called an "adulteress".
Kerstin Kolditz: "The contents of the letters included so many personal details that we said it could only have come from her, and someone else wrote it."
The couple is certain: Bernd Mahn’s ex-wife is inciting another woman to write the letters. However, they do not have conclusive proof. The couple filed a report against unknown persons – without success, as they state themselves.
The letters included addresses such as "To the Adulteress" and thereby defamed the stalking victims even in front of the local postman in their small neighbourhood, where everyone knows everyone.
Mantrailer deployment with a clear result
Two years earlier, Kerstin Kolditz and Bernd Mahn had already hired a private detective. Patrick Kurtz was tasked with finding out who was sending the letters.
Patrick Kurtz: "Operationally, we then conducted a mantrailer deployment using tracking dogs. The dogs ran very quickly to a specific property. Three different dogs all did the same, so the trail was obviously very, very hot."
The dogs had tracked the threat letters and indicated – exactly at the house belonging to the suspect. Pure coincidence?
Detective observation of the target property
Leo Martin is curious and observes the house: "I am standing right in front of the target property; I can immediately see in both directions if someone approaches. As soon as our suspected perpetrator appears, we move in for confrontation."
However, the target person does not appear. Instead, Leo Martin meets the daughter of the household:
Conversation between TV detective and daughter of the suspected perpetrator/assistant
Leo Martin: "It is about anonymous letters that we have heard of. It concerns insults and defamation."
Daughter: "We have nothing to do with this. It is completely unknown who did it. Accusations were made by the lady. She stole a man from a woman after 45 years of life. That is impossible and there are people who know this, and they do not approve. He boasted about it everywhere."
The suspect is invited to explain her side – no response.
Leo Martin: "She [the daughter] immediately knew which case it concerned but said she knew nothing and was innocent, had nothing to do with it. I asked her to contact the alleged perpetrator because I wanted to give him the opportunity to comment, so we could see both sides of the story."
Unfortunately, the woman did not respond to our offer. However, after our filming, Bernd Mahn and Kerstin Kolditz did not receive any new threat letters.
