43 years after her mysterious death, new revelations
July 31, 1969 is a hot summer day. Just right to spend a holiday at the North Sea. Also singer Alexandra makes on this day on the way to Sylt . The first holiday after three years!
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old can look back on a successful career: The girl from the red light district has become a star with his dark voice and hits like "gypsy boy" and "longing". Actually she would have to be happy - the truth is quite different.
Alexandra wanted to write her own songs. But it threatened the income of its composers, authors and producers. The singer should remain her puppet. Alexandra wanted to have a say in her life.
Maybe that's why her mind is elsewhere when she disregards two stop signs near Tellingstedt and collides with a truck. The singer is dead immediately. In the car sit her mother, who also dies, and Alexander, Alexandra's six-year-old son. He is only slightly injured.
On May 19th, the singer would have turned 70 years old - her fatal accident is still entwined with legends that can not stop even murder theories ...
A story that also fascinated Marc Boettcher (47). The filmmaker, producer and author wrote a biography about Alexandra . "In my research, I came across an inconsistency after another, " he says in an interview. "Basically, I was put in the way of stones everywhere." He reports how destroyed files unexpectedly reappeared that on the night of the accident the morgue where Alexandra had been laid was broken open.
"Now, a technical report even questions the entire accident history." The Berliner received threatening phone calls, in which he was warned to continue to research. He found a dead black cat outside his door. Witnesses answered, but want to remain anonymous. Other witnesses were mysteriously killed.
Marc Boettcher himself is not sure what to believe. "Today I think it was just an accident - tomorrow I think it was different. One thing is certain: the further I explore, the more mysterious the file Alexandra! "
