Murder in the North

Juha is aware that he’s not like others. He’s different – or perhaps a psychopath. His girlfriend Marita knows it too. The pair – dubbed "the Bonnie and Clyde of the North" – go on a road trip together that will claim the lives of three people and lead to a manhunt across much of Scandinavia.

This is the story of Bobby, a 10-year old disabled boy, who was vulnerable and lived an isolated life, hidden away on a farm with his mother and her boyfriend in a remote rural part of Sweden. Nobody knew what was going on behind closed doors, until it was too late. This shocking story became a landmark case in Sweden, instigating legal reform and changes to child protection protocols.

In early August 2009, a young man named Mats - who lived in Falun, Sweden - called the police in desperation. He reported that his fiancée Linda Chen had gone missing. She'd left the house on a Saturday evening wearing the shoes she planned to wear for her wedding, but had never returned home. At first the police didn't take the investigation particularly seriously - since a missing person isn't necessarily a police issue. But a suspicion was raised a month later - when Mats also disappeared. The case highlighted how the killer is often close to home.

One morning in October 1986, the Copenhagen police receive a phone call from a distressed taxi driver. While standing in traffic near "Islands Brygge", he spotted something in the water: the the torso of a woman. In the months that followed, more body parts appeared in the water in Copenhagen Harbour. But detectives had no idea who the victim was. No one seemed to have known her. It would take over a year to find out who the victim was.
