Michael Muller left the police force and fell in with a syndicate operating out of Düsseldorf. His handlers set him up with a businessman cover—practical stuff, the kind of front that actually works.
The turning point came during his time there. Every morning at a café, he'd see this woman and her young son Fritz pass by. Muller later reflected on how they represented everything he'd abandoned—a normal, honest life. He couldn't just watch from the sidelines forever. He approached her, they got to talking, and things moved quickly. They married and eventually relocated to Nice.
