Van der Valk on ABC and ABC iview S4E2 – Van Der Valk and the team are called in when an environmental campaigner is murdered on the eve of a global conference.
Several potential suspects are caught on CCTV, one of which would appear to be Cobie Stegenga, a famous singer who went missing and is now presumed dead. The world assumes she committed suicide as a result of the stress of fame.
Eddie, a former fan of hers, thinks differently. Her body was never found and he thinks she just went into hiding. Either way, she is now the prime suspect in a murder investigation. How do you find a missing person?
Van Der Valk connects with Cobie’s father, Marcus Stegenga, a dignified man who has never given up hope that his daughter is alive and is keeping her beloved birds in anticipation of her return. But is his paternal love all that it seems? Friends and neighbours, Anki and her son Jesse, are concerned about the toll events have taken on Marcus and worry about the strain on him.
Separately, the team uncover an illicit trade in the smuggling of rare birds and have to determine in what way this crime connects with Cobie’s disappearance in order to unlock the truth behind what’s happened and perhaps, just perhaps, innocent or guilty, return her home.
