When the 49-year-old woman disappeared in January 2008, the clues were scarce. A neighbor talked to the woman at lunchtime and at 15.30 she took a taxi to the pharmacy in Laholm. Then there are no traces, writes Dagens Nyheter in its review of the case.
Only this year, the woman was identified after the Swedish Forensic Administration updated a software that is commonly used to find disaster victims.
"Few clues"Halland police are now launching a death investigation to rule out any suspected crime.
- Although it has taken a long time to identify the woman, it is positive that this came to light, says Peter Hejdström, head of the investigation section in Halland.
However, the chances that the Halland police could find out the cause of death are considered small.
- In general, the chances are not that great. There were few clues in 2008 and they have not become more, continues Peter Hejdström.
"Takes all possible action"Now, interrogation with people who knew or were in contact with the woman awaits her disappearance.
- It could be relatives, relatives or someone who might have seen her in connection with the disappearance. We make every effort that we see possible to assess whether or not a crime has been committed, says Peter Hejdström.
What do you think of the theory that the body may have been carried by currents from Lagan to Norway?
- Based on the investigations we have done with meteorological institutes, it seems to be timely.
