The Murder in the Woods (Part 2)

Part 2 in our 2-part exploration of the grisly crime that shook a community. In the previous episode we heard how on a summer evening in 1981, in a small Danish village in the northern part of Jutland, a 16-year-old girl went missing. Four days later, she was found in a nearby forest, hanged by a rope tied to a tree. Her body was partially covered by branches and sticks. So far, there are no clues that could indicate a potential suspect or motive. The police are still looking for the murderer, and begin to make a series of discoveries.

Cold Blood: Nordic True Crime is a series based on a hit Danish podcast, exploring startling true crimes from Scandinavia - crimes that made headlines and gripped the region.
