More than three decades of service for broadcasting
Viewers' help in the search for suspects plays a decisive role in the manhunt program. For decades, Switzerland and Austria were also regular locations for cases. Whenever the ZDF program created and hosted by Eduard Zimmermann (1929-2009) switched to the studio in Vienna, Nidetzky was there. His Swiss counterpart was the TV presenter Konrad Toenz (1939-2015)
More than 600 episodes have been broadcast since 1967, and Nidetzky has been involved since the early 1970s. ZDF has been producing Germany's most successful investigative program single-handedly for a good 20 years.
Since the withdrawal of Swiss television and ORF, regular TV broadcasts have also ceased, and Nidetzky also disappeared from the format in 2002. However, criminal cases from abroad are still occasionally featured today.
Friend of equestrian sports

Nidetzky's daughter Katharina is married to Nehammer. According to the ÖVP, the Federal Chancellor canceled the exploratory talks planned for today to form a coalition government with the SPÖ due to the death in the family.
