There, coach Flo Capeder (Benjamin Sadler) wants to break the world speed record with his troop. As Saskia explores the area, she discovers a dead body in a crevice. As soon as she has told Flo about it both the corpse and the photos she took of it have disappeared. Saskia suspects Flo of having something to do with the mysterious death.
