Witnesses (France2 2014-2017, Marie Daompnier, Audrey Fleurot)

Crime drama series Witnesses tackles murder in a rural northern France.

Season 2, subtitled A Frozen Death, was a new stand alone story…. On the first day of spring, on a country road in northern France, the frozen bodies of 15 men are discovered sitting aboard an abandoned bus.

The case is assigned to Lieutenant Sandra Winckler (Marie Dompnier), who quickly finds a link between the dead men: all 15 were involved at one time or another with a woman named Catherine Keemer (Audrey Fleurot). But there’s a twist: Catherine disappeared three years ago.

Determined to get answers, Sandra tracks Catherine down and discovers a woman who’s all alone with no memory of her past… except for one thing: she once gave birth to a child, who is now unaccounted for.

Despite all appearances, Sandra believes that Catherine is innocent. But if that is the case, who is responsible for the 15 mysterious deaths? And where is Catherine’s child?
