The Investigation

Police was contacted
at 15.42 by a

cyclist on the south-west
part of Amager

saying that he had
seen something that

resembled a upper body
in the sea.

It's the body of a woman.

It's the torso of a woman.

What I mean, when I say torso

then I mean without a head.

It's without arms.

And it is without legs.

It is clear that the police and media and
the public are asking if this is Kim Wall?

It is much, much
too early to say.

We simply don't
know at this point.

Be honest with me, Jens.

Do you think it is her or not?

I don’t know yet, but...but...

there is a good
possibility that it is.

Hmmm

Hmmm

But you have not
found anything else?

No, we haven't.

It's hard for the divers, they
don't really know where to search.

We hope to trace the
course the submarine took

from radar control...
but as I say, they are

constantly diving and
we got the dogs out...

we are doing all we can, Joachim.
We really are.

What sort of dogs?
Are they cadaver dogs?

No, they are police dogs.

Okay, yes.
But there are ...

dogs that are trained to find
bodies, also underwater.

I've never heard of cadaver dogs.
But, I'm happy to look into it.

Yes, please do that.

And as I've said before, Jens.
I'm happy to help if I can.

One of my friends is a diver. He knows
Øresund like the back of his hand.

You can't be part of the
investigation, Joachim. You know that.

Jens. We are looking
for my daughter.

For me this is much more
than an investigation.

We need answers, Jens.
Do you understand?

We need answers!

Yes.

I understand that.

We don't expect any DNA
results for another 36 hours

but obviously we start
immediately with the autopsy.

What do you expect
to learn from that?

Cause of death.

And maybe time of death.

How and when the
limbs were removed.

Or possibly nothing at all.

But you have seen
the torso already?

Yes.

And?

And, nothing.

If a body has been in the sea for a substantial
time it can be seriously impacted.

If it has been floating, then the
sun can have damaged the skin.

Rocks and sand can do the same.

Listen! I have her family, I
have the press, I have the

prosecutor that needs to extend
the custody in two weeks...

Jens.

We are working as fast
as we possible can.

Of course.

It's just that I'm stuck
until I get answers from you.

I know.

I've asked Musa to stay here so
he can relay any news.

I go back to the office.

No problem.

Listen man! This is the fourth
time you call within an hour.

We still have no news.

Yes. I promise to let you know.

Yes, but my phone is not
exclusively to give you headlines.

Yes.

And what does the ME
think has happened?

He doesn't know yet.

Did he not have the torso?

Yes, but you know how they are.

He will not say anything
until he's done the autopsy.

Okay.

And when do they expect to
confirm if it's her or not.

We have her hair samples and toothbrush
so the process is in full swing

and we will know if there is a DNA
match within the next 48 hours.

Okay.

Call me with any updates.

Sure.

Uhhhh...anything new on
tracing the subs course?

No, nothing yet.

The whole thing is on the
Swedish side and they

are a bit slow. I'm trying
to put pressure on them.

Great. We need to pinpoint
it for the divers.

Hi Musa.
It's Jens, again.

Call me back.

Maibritt.

Yes?

Have you heard from Musa?

No. Isn't he at the ME's office?

Yes.

They should be finished by now.

I think I'll go home.
Call me if there is anything new.

Of course.

Cecilie invited us
round for a coffee.

One of these days.

Sure.

I bumped into her today.

How was she?

She seemed very good.

Hey!

Are you okay?

I really don't know.

The press is constantly calling.

I have no information
from the ME's office.

If the torso we found is of her

then I have a tough phone-call to
make that I don't look forward to.

Musa.
Call me, I'm outside.

Musa.

Hi Jens.

Why don't I get any news?

I have no idea what is going on.

I was about to call you.

He is only just finishing now.

Hello again.

Hi.

Have you got anything?

Yes.

We know that the head, arms and legs were
severed on purpose with some sort of a saw.

A saw with small
teeth we believe.

We also know that the torso has
received at least 17 stabs or cuts.

- Seventeen?
- Yes.

But none of them are
cause of death.

It appears that they
are all postmortem.

Quite possibly he wanted to...

make holes in the torso and
along with the weight of the

iron pieces we found attached
to it, ensure it would sink.

Okay.

What's the cause of death?

In my opinion that is not
to be found on the torso.

But, assuming this is the
journalist, didn't he

explain that she had been
hit on the head by a hatch?

What do you think happened?

I think she has been
brutally murdered.

And then he came up with the hatch story
to explain why we will find head injuries.

Then you better find the head.

Yeah.

Day 12
22ⁿᵈ August 2017

We have been dredging
this morning.

We have gone through 3 zones.

No luck.

We need help, Jens.

We need information.

We have almost 100 volunteers
searching the shorelines.

Both in Denmark and Sweden.

We have dogs, we have helicopters.

And all my divers are at work.

- Yes.
- Yes.

But still, no idea where
the rest of the body is.

We can't establish cause of
death unless we find the head.

We are stuck!

And we would love to find it.

We just haven't got a
clue where to dive.

PULL!

PULL!

There is something I
want to show you.

I've just been to something called
Vessel Traffic Service in Malmö.

VTS. Not sure what I did, but when I got
there this morning then they immediately

gave me access to the Radar Tracking
that until now was impossible to get.

But...

now we know where it sailed.

We have copied the radar images from
the night between the 10ᵗʰ and 11ᵗʰ

August and plotted what we believe is
the submarine's route through Køge Bay.

And as you can see, there
is a dot marking interval

of every 5 min. between 20.00
and 10.22 when it sank.

It dives here, just after
she sends the text and then

appears again here when we
have traced his phone signal.

Then they sail this way towards Drogden
Lighthouse where they stop for 50 minutes.

He seems to spot a cargo ship and follows
it and sails into Køge Bay and seems

to dive at 04.40 and appears again here
at 08.22 and after going south for a bit

he goes back towards Drogden Lighthouse
where the sub sinks at exactly 10.22.

What about this?

There is a gap here, right?

Yes.

For what... 3½ hours?
What happened there?

I think he dived and then he
drifted south and ascended here.

How sure are you about all this?

I'm pretty confident.

Can you come with me
out to the diving team?

Of course.

And Maibritt. Please contact the Swedish
side and get a status update from them.

Yes.

LM!
Did you get my message?

Yes, I did.

I brought Nikolaj with me.

Was it you that managed
to plot the course?

Yes. Look here.

Do you know each other?

Yes, we do.

Look here.

As you can see here, the course...

is plotted based on radar
signals from the night.

Yes.

This is awesome, man.

There are 5 minutes
between each...

point there which we have
plotted during the night.

Jarliss!

Based on the phone signals...

- Yes?
- Come and look at this.

At 23.25 it is there and
goes all the way....

This is fantastic!

So, this will help?

You bet.

Here you go.

Yes, hello.

- Hi Joachim.
- Hello.

I just wanted to inform
you that we have managed

to plot the course
the submarine took.

Really?

Yeah.

Did you have anything
to do with it?

No.. What do you mean?

At first there was no way to get the info and
then suddenly it was all available for us.

I don't really think that my
call made any difference.

Hmmm.. well.

Anyway, the divers are now able to
narrow the search area significantly.

That's great news.

Any news on the DNA test?

No, not yet.

But, I'll call as soon
as I get any news.

It's just that....

Yes?

No, it's nothing.

Day 13
23ʳᵈ August 2017

This is Jens.

Okay.

Thanks for letting me know.

Something new?

We got the DNA test result.

It's her torso we found.

Hi Joachim, It's Jens.

Apologies for calling so early.

We got the DNA result.

Yes.

I'm very sorry,
but it's a match.

Good morning.

I would like to start by
expressing my deepest sympathy

to Kim Wall's family that
during the night I had to

inform that we have found
DNA match between Kim

Wall and the torso that was
found couple of days ago.

- No need to take off the shoes.
- Are you sure?

Yes, the dog makes
everything dirty anyway.

The red one's are hers.

She traveled all over.

Her and the boyfriend
were going to move to

China. They had sorted
out an apartment and...

Yes...

Please have a seat.

Do you want some more coffee?

No thanks.

What do we do now?

When we first met, I promised
to be open and honest with you.

That is a promise
I intend to keep.

I have brought some
drawings of the torso.

I've brought some photographs.

It's entirely up to you if you want
to see both or just the drawings.

Maybe we start
with the drawings.

Yes.

What I can show you here
is a drawing of the torso.

And the wounds inflicted on the
torso are marked by an 'X'

- Joche...
- Iso. Come .

Good God!

My sweet girl.

It gigantic.

Were you able to use the radar
information from Malmö for something?

And the cadaver dogs?

Unfortunately we don't
have them in Denmark.

Why not?

They don't think it is adequately
proven that they work.

I see.

Please pass on my thanks
for the help to the team.

From both of us.

Thanks, Jens.

See you later. Please let me know
if there is anything we can do.

Yes, sure.

- We are doing everything we can.
- Yes.

Goodbye.

Hi, you have called Cecilie. I can't take
your call, so please leave a message. Bye.

Hi Cille....

Day 17
27ᵗʰ August 2017

We are ready to dive in zone 3.

- Yes, you can start.
- You can go.

We have finished zone 3.
Zone 3 is completed.

Negative. Nothing found.
I repeat - nothing found.

We are not finding anything.

No-one said it would be easy.

Easy?
No-one said it would be impossible.

In total, 8 men have dived 240 hours since
11th August. 240 hours in 2 weeks.

They don't see their kids,
they don't see their wife's.

They work 24/7.

They are under huge pressure.

And when they ask
what's the point.

What do I tell them?

What the hell do
you want me to do?

What?

I would love to tell you exactly
where to dive. But I don't.

How long have we known
each other, Jens?

I've never seen you ruffled
by a case like this before.

His hearing is set for
5ᵗʰ September at 9.30.

And we still don't
have enough evidence.

The ME maintains that cause
of death is not on the torso?

Yes, he does.

I might be able to push for manslaughter.
He could get less than 2 years.

And without cause of death,
even that's a tough one.

I know.

What do the divers say?

Didn't you plot the course
the submarine took?

Yes.

But it still
extremely difficult.

Okay.

Sorry, I'm late.
Let's get going.

We now know it is Kim's torso.

We know she didn't die from the
wounds on the torso.

We know the accused is lying.
He didn't throw her whole

body into the sea. But exactly
what he did we don't know.

From the VTS data in Malmö,
Nikolaj has plotted the

course. That's what now
guides the divers.

They haven't found anything yet.

Jakob, you say we can't
charge him with murder.

We can charge him with murder,
but it would be extremely

difficult to get him found
guilty without cause of death.

But we can't establish
cause of death without

finding the head or
the other body parts.

So, we must continue to search.

Thanks for meeting up.

I really appreciate it.

Of course.

I'm sorry that I just....

well...

That you just... what?

Stood up and left, just after I told
you that you're gonna be granddad?

Or all the other times
you have ignored me?

My birthdays?

Swimming competitions,
school plays...

Or maybe my graduation party?

All of it.

Maybe you weren't
there much for me.

And not much we can
do about that now.

But...

I don't know. I
would just like...

like to hope that....

my child can count
on it's granddad.

Right?

Go, boy.

Good - yeah.

Well done.

Come here.
Come on.

Let go.

Good dog.

Hi Joachim.
It's Jens.

I just wanted to let you
know I will contact

Swedish police to see if they
will lend us their dogs.

Good.
Take care.

Hello. This is Jens Møller
from Copenhagen Police.

I'm calling to ask
for some help.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you. They are so lovely.

Ingrid, my love. Don't stand
out here in the cold.
