Parking Lot Affair: Secret Infidelity with a Colleague | Investigations by Kurtz Detective Agency Münster

New Colleague = New Threat?

A wholly clichéd yet unusual — because only apparently typical — case of infidelity was recently handled by Kurtz Investigations Münster in the Münsterland. Although her husband’s working hours had for years regularly extended late into the evening for professional reasons, Mrs Hamm noticed that in recent months he increasingly claimed to have to “work late” and offered a range of rather dubious explanations. About a year earlier he had been assigned a new field-service colleague, of whom he initially spoke frequently and with some enthusiasm. Gradually he became more taciturn (his exact words) about work; he mentioned the colleague less and less and eventually never spoke of her. In addition, the couple’s sex life had effectively ceased for months.

 

For these reasons Kurtz Detective Agency Münster was instructed to observe Mr Hamm after his regular finishing time to determine whether he truly had to work late or whether other activities accounted for his absence from the family home.

No Physical Contact with the Suspected Affair Partner

On the single surveillance day required, the subject of our Münster investigators, Mr Hamm, attends a public event where he gives a short presentation for his company. The investigators arrive well before his talk to familiarise themselves with the observation environment. They locate the target vehicle in a side street; one of the three deployed detectives is tasked with keeping that vehicle under observation so as not to lose visual contact if the subject departs. The other two observers position themselves to the left and right of the venue’s entry gates to be able to identify Mr Hamm as he leaves the building into what is likely to be a larger crowd (the sun had set hours earlier).

 

Shortly before the official end of the event the target appears accompanied by the aforementioned work colleague. They walk side by side as two ordinary acquaintances, converse without any physical contact, then get into the target vehicle and drive towards Münster city centre, where they dine at a restaurant. During the dinner our private investigators observe no affection or any other sign of a sexual relationship.

Suspicious Parking Search in and around Münster

After dinner, Mr. Hamm and his companion continued driving. They visited various parking areas along the A1 and A43 motorways but either drove on immediately or stopped for only a few seconds. Their route appeared aimless; they repeatedly switched directions and described an irregular circle around Münster.

 

Eventually, they located an apparently suitable — and empty — parking area and remained there for several minutes. One of our private detectives conducted a routine drive-by check but seemingly startled the occupants, as they resumed driving immediately after the headlights of the operational vehicle became visible at the entrance.

Fogged Windows, Rocking Vehicle

A noteworthy historic landmark in the city of Münster is the Buddenturm on the northern section of the Promenade — a remnant of the former city fortifications dating back to before 1200. Following the demolition of the city wall in the late 18th century, it was converted into a water tower in 1878, with a crenellated crown constructed to conceal the water tank behind it. After 1945, the structure was restored, including the reinstatement of its original conical roof. Along with the Zwinger, two so-called “Wasserbären,” and the remains of the Neuwerk, the Buddenturm is among the last surviving elements of Münster’s medieval fortifications. Only a few meters from this venerable structure, between the Promenade and Münzstraße, lies a parking area — and of all places, it was here, in one of Münster’s busiest districts, that Mr. Hamm and his companion finally stopped.

 

The target vehicle was parked and the headlights switched off. To avoid alarming the subjects again, the investigators refrained from entering the parking lot with their own vehicles. Instead, they positioned themselves near the exits and waited. After some time, one detective approached the parking area on foot and discreetly searched for the vehicle. Identification was straightforward: the car stood out from the others due to two distinct features — heavily fogged windows and a noticeable rocking motion. As the detective approached, he clearly heard moaning and cries. Passing by casually, he observed Mr. Hamm wearing a shirt but no trousers, reclining on the passenger seat pushed backward, while his colleague, facing the windshield and completely unclothed, moved up and down on his lap. They did not notice the detective. After approximately fifteen minutes, the encounter ended. The two remained in the vehicle briefly before finally driving away.

Client Composed After the Findings

After Mr Hamm and his companion left the car park, the investigators of Kurtz Investigations Münster terminated the observation in consultation with the client. She was initially shocked by the semi-public nature of the adultery, but accepted the fact of the infidelity itself in a composed manner, stating that she “had already suspected it”. The investigation was therefore concluded and the investigative report prepared.

To preserve the discretion and personality rights of clients and subjects, all names and locations in this case report have been altered beyond recognition.
