The secret of the disappearance of Norwegian wealthy Elizabeth Valkevik Hagen (69 years) is still mysterious in her country after a year after the search by the security services and independent investigators.
The disappearance of this woman for almost a year has been addressed by international media after all efforts failed to determine whether she could be found alive.
One of the bizarre things about Hagen's disappearance is that some gangs claim to have kidnapped them. A letter to her husband recently said she was alive, according to the family's lawyer. .
Anne-Elisabeth Valkevik Hagen was missing from her home in Lørenskog, Akershus district, near Oslo, on October 31, K psf, the Norwegian daily VJ.
Lawyer Sven Holden said the letter, sent on July 8, "clearly states that Hagen is alive," but added that the letter was not considered to be alive, in comments to reporters in Oslo.
He pointed out that the letter was written in Norwegian, explaining that many of the letters had been exchanged, but refused to say when the last message of those claiming to have been received.
Police said in late June that Hagen may have been killed, working on the assumption that her disappearance was an attempt to cover up the suspected killing. The police have based their hypothesis on the lack of evidence to confirm that they are still alive, as well as the long passage without contact of the alleged kidnappers.
At a separate news conference, police spokesman Tommy Brosky said police were still taking this view.
"There is nothing more to police than Anne Elizabeth Hagen is alive and could be reunited with her family. But there is still no evidence that she is alive even after the July 8 letter," he said.
