During the thirteen days that have passed since the 17-year-old girl disappeared, a massive search effort has been carried out in and around Uddevalla and in the neighborhood of Ljungskile. The police and thousands of volunteers have systematically, often in shell chains, searched area by area. Naval police and military have also applied in Byfjord and Bäveån.

On Wednesday, police change tactics in the search - and stop searching broadly in large areas. Instead, the large number of tips received will be grazed by areas where there are concrete tips searched.

- We will also set foot in search in Bäveån with the help of charcoal divers in mini-submarines, says Stefan Kristiansson, local police area manager for Västra Fyrbodal.

The police have no plans yet to cut down on the total search work, but it will continue at least throughout Wednesday.

Unresolved cases

The girl has not been found, but a number of other finds are made in the forest areas. And the police do not rule out finding things that are related to other unresolved cases.

- We have two reported missing since before, says Thomas Fuxborg, police spokesman in the West Region to TT.

These are two men who disappeared from their homes in the fall of 2008. One lived in Uddevalla and the other in Ljungskile. Both men were connected to the construction industry, had large debts and were exposed to threats.

Same area

The one man, who was then in his 30s, disappeared from his home in Uddevalla on September 26, 2008 under mysterious circumstances. His wallet was in the house and outside his car with the cellphone was left behind.

The other man, who was ten years older, disappeared from his home in Ljungskile on October 13 of that year. In all likelihood he was carried away against his will after some broke into his house after, among other things, sabotaging the surveillance cameras. The man was pronounced dead in 2015.

The two men were familiar with each other. None of them have been found and the cases are still unresolved.

- There are two that we suspect have been murdered. And it is from this area, says Thomas Fuxborg.
