Blind love, a bloody sock print and a fateful confession brought a German diplomat's son behind bars for thirty-three years. The case of Jens Soering has all the makings of a thriller by John Grisham - but this is no fiction. It is a real-life tragedy that continues to raise questions decades after the murders of Derek and Nancy Haysom in Virginia.

Author Daniela Hillers dives deep into the case and looks at the evidence and verdict from a modern perspective. She paints a picture of a crime that shocked a nation and raises questions about the reliability of the criminal justice system.

Was Soering's confession genuine, or the product of manipulation? What role did the daughter of the murdered couple play? And what lies behind the ongoing attacks against Soering since his release from prison?

"The Jens Soering Case: Reasonable doubts?" is more than just an analysis of an infamous case. It is an epic story of love, betrayal and the ceaseless search for truth.


"It looks to me like those who for some reason still want him to be guilty have different agendas, different issues. And I think there's no way Jens would be convicted today in this country." John Grisham
