Missing 80-year-old wife: "Uncertainty is terrible"

It was on August 3 when the 80-year-old from Malå municipality would go out on the same exercise round as he does every day.

- We didn't talk much, but I took for granted that he would do his round and then come home, the wife says.

When the 80-year-old did not show up, she began to worry.

- Me and an acquaintance started looking for him, but when we didn't find him we got alarmed.

On Monday, police announced that they were classifying the incident as human trafficking, although nothing at this time indicates that the man was abducted against his will. The wife tells us that the 80-year-old has become a bit forgetful and that she is thinking "in every direction" of what happened.

- I can't sleep at night but lie awake and ponder. It's a horrible situation.

The neighbors in the village have been a great support, she says.

- All the villagers are doing great and are out looking. We all want to know: What happened to my husband?
