No injuries on the skull?

And we have nothing else.

This is quite absurd.

Why the hell did he make up
a story about head injury?

He must have been convinced
that we wouldn't find the body.

When he learns that we are
recovering the submarine he

invents a story to explain
why we will find blood in it.

From my side the problem
is to make a proper case.

We still have no
clear cut evidence.

But as there are no injuries on her
head, then his story is clearly a lie!

Yes.

Yes, it is.

But only until he comes up
with a new explanation.

And legally he can do that.

First he claims he put her
back on dry land. Then he

buried her at sea after she
suffered a head injury.

Now suddenly she didn't
have a head injury.

And instead was chopped up
before thrown into the sea.

Can he make a new story every
time we find something?

According to the law, yes.

As accused, he can change his
story as often as he likes.

So, the question is....

...can we disprove that
it was an accident?

Can we disprove suicide?

And can we prove it was murder?

What happened?

What is the cause of death?

What was his motive?

No, we don't know.

Exactly.
We don't know.

And we have the burden of proof.

The Investigation

Day 58
7ᵗʰ October 2017

It is blowing gale out there.

There is a northerly current
of 1½ Knots. The sea

temperature is 7 degrees, but
at least visibility is good.

I want a minimum of two
men in each stage.

Stay close to each other.

It is cold and we
are all exhausted.

Look out for each other.

Any questions?

Let's start all over.

What do we know?

We know she was killed
or died accidentally.

What about suicide?

Is that totally impossible?

This is like a jigsaw where
half of the pieces are missing.

Okay.

Let's at least look at
the pieces we have.

We have a torso, legs and a
head that has no injuries.

We have iron bars used to weigh
down the body parts and same

has been found in the accused
workshop, indicating premeditation.

We have panties and tights.
We have a knife and some

clothes. We have books
that indicate the accused

was fascinated by crimes
and criminals and we have

witnesses describing him
being sexually kinky.

We know he invited 3 or 4 other women
onto his submarine, and all rejected.

And we know that the
journalist instigated the

interview and sailed with
him and then disappeared.

But what does it tell us?

That he killed her...

... butchered her...

...and threw her into the sea.

No. It tells us that she
was butchered and thrown

into the sea, but not
that she was killed.

We have found her head.

There are no injuries on it.

And he keeps changing his story.

That's not enough pieces?

No.
Not necessarily.

No!

Musa and I have a meeting with the
IT forensic guys tomorrow morning.

They are going through
his computer and hard

drives. Maybe they will
find something useful.

Does he know we have found
the head and the legs?

Yes.

And he hasn't come up
with a new explanation?

No.

What about his friends?
Any new ones come forward?

No.

One of them must know something.

Hello. This is Jens.

I would like to hold
a press conference.

Yes, I would like to share
the latest discoveries.

Can you arrange it?

Great
Thank you.

If we tell the press that there are
no injuries on the head, so he has

been lying to us, then maybe some
of his old friends will come forward.

And then maybe he will come
up with something new.

Good Morning.

We would like to give an update in the case
the press has dubbed the 'submarine case'.

Yesterday with assistance of
the Navy's diving team, we have

found a bag in the morning, which we
believe contains Kim Wall's clothes.

A sweater, skirt, shoes and socks.

In the bag we also found a knife.

And some lead sinkers to
keep the bag from floating.

Around midday we found a leg

followed by another leg

and shortly after
we found a head.

And the interesting fact is that there
are no injuries at all on the skull.

and in fact no injuries
at all on the head.

Hi, this is Cecilie's phone.
Anders speaking.

Hi Anders. It's Jens,
Cecilie's dad.

Hello.

umm... Cecilie is a
bit busy right now.

She can't?

I've tried to call all morning.

Oh really?
I didn't know that.

Can you ask her to call me?

Yes, of course I will.

Bye.

We are trying to put pressure on him
to come up with a new explanation.

That hopefully is
closer to the truth.

Or to get those in
his circle that have

believed in his innocence to
come forward and speak to us.

It's already two months.

We are of course glad
that you have...

Well.. that you have found....

But I don't understand
how little we know.

Every time you find something

he just comes with a new explanation.
And now it is proven that he's lied.

But without any
consequences for him.

How will we ever
know what happened?

I wish I could tell you.

But you are still searching?

Yes.
Of course.

The divers are working whenever
the weather allows us.

Are they also searching
for the phones?

That... that is not
our first priority.

Why is that?

The phones may reveal
what happened.

I understand.

Question is, if it is at
all possible to find them?

Or if they have been covered
in the sand on the seabed.

I'm ready to go down.

Yellow buoy up!

Well?

We found something.

I understand you found the saw?

What's wrong?

There is something
wrong with the map.

What do you mean?

We found the saw down here.

But that doesn't match.

Based on the course, the
submarine was never there.

How far is there between?

More than 200 meters.

How much does it weigh?

Can't it have drifted 200 meters?

My question exactly.

We bought an identical saw and sailed
out a bit and threw it into the sea.

And?

It hasn't drifted with the current.
It fell straight down to the bottom.

If we are to find the arms, then we need
to review the course of the submarine.

We don't have any more info.

Well, we need to find it.

I called VTS in Malmö and told
them we come over tomorrow.

I discovered that I
know someone there.

We need to look at the radar
tracks, second by second,

minute by minute, hour by hour
until we have every detail.

How long will that take?

I don't know.

It has to be done.

We need to find everything.

We start by selecting buzzwords,
like 'Murder', 'Submarine', 'Sex'

and similar and search for them
in his files and search history

and if we find a match
we see where it takes us.

This way we slowly but surely dig
deeper and deeper into his data.

Then maybe you can classify
the searches by motive?

Yes, we have already
started that.

I can send the list to you
as soon as we are done.

So you can add to it if
we have missed any.

Great!

What if he has
deleted some files?

We should still find
some traces of them.

How so?

Once something has been saved, it is
pretty impossible to delete completely.

There are inevitably some traces.

So what do you do if you really
want to delete something?

Put in in the bath or
smash it with a hammer.

How long will this take?

If we find matches
and we start to

dig deep, then it can
take quite some time.

How long exactly?

Weeks.

Or months.

They search for relevant key words,
'Sex', 'Submarine', 'Murder'.

And how far have they got?

Not very far.

It's apparently cumbersome
and methodical.

Okay.

It looks as if your plan is working.

I've just had the defender
of the accused on the line.

She said that her client
has decided to come

clean and tell the truth
about what happened.

He wants to be
re-interviewed tomorrow.

Day 65
14ᵗʰ October 2017

What did he say?

He said that after careful
consideration he had decided

to tell the truth about
what happened that night.

And he explained that
she did not die from

being hit on the head by
the hatch and that he

had butchered the corpse
because it was too heavy

to get up through the
tower of the submarine.

So he admits to have
butchered the corpse?

How did she die?

Well, he thinks it was lack of
oxygen or carbon monoxide poisoning.

There was some issue with the
engine and defective exhausts.

But... it was a long
technical explanation.

In any case the hatch had
got stuck when he was

up and outside while she
was down in the boat.

And there was some kind of
vacuum that prevented him to

open the hatch and when he
finally did, he found her dead.

- And then he butchered her?
- Yes.

Or no. He had first tried to
carry her up but not succeeded.

And later that night he had decided to
cut the corpse into smaller pieces.

And thereafter he had decided to kill himself
which he then delayed or reconsidered.

And what about the
tights and the panties?

He thinks it was during his struggle to
get her out that her clothes came off.

But he hadn't really noticed it.

Every time you find something,
he changes his explanation.

We need to find the arms.

If we don't see her wrists
then his next story will be that

she committed suicide and he
promised not to tell her parents.

We must be able to counter all
explanations except murder.

You are still here?

Yes, I have nothing else to do.

I got hold of this submarine
expert, Dytte Dyreborg.

Yes?

I will meet her tomorrow and take
her through his latest explanation.

To verify if it is really possible
the hatch got stuck like this.

Excellent.

It would be good
to disprove that.

- I see you tomorrow.
- Yes.

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

Hi Cecilie.

It's Dad.

Can you please call me back.

Look forward to hear from you.

We spent a whole day with transparent
paper taped to the radar screen.

And drew dots.

Every time the radar
picked up the submarine.

From 19.30 when they left and until
10.22 when the submarine sank.

Minute by minute by minute by minute.

There are more than 600 dots.

Has it changed our understanding
of the course he took?

Yes.

Especially down here,
in the southern part.

Look at this.

There is a large outward deviation
that we didn't know about.

On the other hand it matches
with us finding the saw here.

And it is down here you
consider to search again?

Consider?
We are just about ready to go.

I had an interesting
discussion with the submarine

expert about the accused
latest explanation.

What did she say?

She said that it is quite
possible that there could be high

pressure leading to the creation
of vacuum that would make it

impossible to open the hatch. But
how he then still managed to

open it she doesn't understand.
For her that would be impossible.

Okay.

So if this accident really
happened then the hatch would

be so stuck that there
would be no way to open it?

Yes, correct.

It would take a long
time to balance the

pressure again to enable
opening of the hatch again.

How long?

- At least one hour.
- What's her conclusion?

We are missing some drawings
of the submarine and

it's state after sinking
makes it extra hard.

So what conclusions
could she make?

She thinks his story
is total fiction.

If it had happened, then there would
have been huge heat blast that would have

caused the vacuum but also would have
left significant marks on the body.

I've asked the Technical
Institute to investigate

and eventually confirm in
their official report.

But does she concur with Lars Møller
that the submarine was sunk on purpose?

Yes, she has no
doubts about that.

That should cheer up Jakob a bit.

- It's Jens.
- LM here.

Really?

Hi Jakob. It's Jens.

Just wanted to let you know that
we have found one of her arms.

No, just one for now.

Now, we bloody well go
and find the other one.

Day 111
29ᵗʰ November 2017

We have a marking buoy!

Let's go.

Divers coming up to the surface.

YEEESSSS!!!!

YEEESSSS!!!!

I've just spoken to the parents.

They asked me to pass on their most
heartfelt gratitude to you and your men.

It means everything for them, now
to be able to bury their daughter.

Normally when we finish
a successful day...

...the guys are in high
spirits and happy.

And they talk about
what to eat or drink...

...what to do when
they get home.

But today, after getting back
to shore, then....

...nobody said anything.

They were all
completely quiet.

Incredible work.

We always try our utmost.

And then we hope
it is good enough.

- This is Claus.
- Hi Claus, it's Jens.

Hi Jens.

Claus, what do you have?

As expected, the cause of death
is not to be found on the arms.

No signs of suicide.
No restraints marks or anything at all.

Okay.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

The question is - how do we
find out what happened?

Yes, we need to find out.

So, suicide is off the table?

Mmmm.

That only leaves murder, right?

Yes, maybe.

Maybe we have enough
to get him on murder.

But then he gets maybe 14 years
and is out after 8 or 10.

To get him put away for life we
need murder plus something more.

You know that.

What about rape?

Yes.
That would do.

But to get him on rape, then we have
to be able to prove it took place.

And that it happened just before death.
Or it was planned.

Because, if it happened spontaneously
after death, then it only counts as...

...a mishandling of a corpse.

And necrophilia.

And that's not enough.

We need to understand fully
what happened that night, Jens.

And we will.

By finding the motive.

As expected cause of death
is not found on the arms.

So we need to continue
to wait for the cause

of death and the final
report from the ME.

Can I borrow 10
minutes of your time?

Yes, of course.

So far we have found 7 files
all about piercing of women.

Piercing?

What does it mean?

Well, that's a good question.

It is sexual text and fantasies about
women being pierced through the skin and

flesh with a sharp pointy things - spears,
pencils, knitting needles, needles, knifes etc.

How many wounds were
there on the torso?

There were seventeen.

Do you think there is
more of such things?

Most likely.

We have gone through his internet history.
What websites

he has visited and what words
he has searched for...

- Can I?
- Yes, of course.

"Beheaded"

"Argony"

"Girl"

Three words the accused has
searched for many times and latest

18 hours before the submarine
sailed for the last time.

Isn't "Agony" spelt without an 'r'?

Yes, the spelling mistake
is from the accused.

Despite the spelling mistake, the
search gave some interesting results.

Including so called "snuff film"
where a woman is beheaded.

You mean... for real?

We think... that it
looks very real.

Is this something
he has watched?

Yes, it is.

Latest, 18 hours before
he sailed with the deceased.

In addition, we have
found 3 short animations

with same theme, downloaded
onto his computer.

Like a cartoon?

Beheading and piercing
depicted in a sexual way.

May we see them?

I would not...
recommend it.

Can I try and get a copy
of the video he watched?

Was this all planned?

He took the lead sinks and the saw down
to the sub that same day.

That contradicts his statement of
trying to dispose of the whole body.

If he had no plans to use
the saw, why bring it?

And we know that he tried to
invite at least 3 other women to

come with him onto the sub that
same day but they all rejected.

When the first 3 rejected
it seems like he

gave up. At least there
are no other messages.

But then suddenly he gets a call
from the Swedish journalist that

previously had tried to set up
an interview, asking again.

And then the plan is back on.

Is it correct, that there
is absolutely nothing

that indicates they
knew each other before.

Yes.

We all agree on that?

Then we can remove jealousy...
revenge... and loathing as a motive.

Is there anything
pointing towards money?

No?

Anything pointing towards politics
or religion being motive?

Any political message or terrorism?

No.

Lust.

There are semen traces
in his underpants.

He is well known in
Copenhagen's sex clubs.

In the lead up to the killing, he is
watching videos where a woman is beheaded.

All this points to a sexual motive.

Power?

Maybe he wanted to show or
prove his power in some way.

Because he feels superior.

He had lot of problems with his
projects, he had canceled his

sailing to Bornholm and his company
was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Maybe that was his trigger?

His power and his
control was vanishing.

The panties and tights also fit perfectly
to a part in the Amager Man's book.

He wanted to prove himself
by acting out the video.

He wanted to show that he
could get away with it.

That gave him a rush.

Power!

Jens?

Can I come in?

What's happening?

"Beheaded", "Agony", "Girl"

We have our motive.

We have our motive.

If the ME concludes that
beheading is the cause

of death then we are
definitely on a winner.

And if not?

Then we have to back it up with the
evidence we have and the video.

Worst of it all, is how
coincidental it all was.

She tries earlier to
get an interview.

It doesn't happen and she forgets all about
it. Then suddenly she remembers again.

Calls again and gets hold of
him and sets up the interview.

Completely unaware.

But he knew exactly
what he was doing.

He had prepared it all.

She never stood a chance.

She had done nothing to him.

She was just curious.

Confident, happy and brave.

Exactly as our
children should be.

Hello.

Hi Cecilie, it's dad.
I'd like to speak with you.

- Hello!
- Yes, I'll come down.

- Hi, love.
- Hi.

I've tried to call many times.

Yes, I know.

- You didn't call back.
- No, it has been busy, so...

I'm sorry about the other evening.
I couldn't get away.

That's okay.

You know how it is.

Yes, I know.

That's maybe also why I
haven't called you back.

What do you mean?

You will apologise and
explain how important the

case is. I will say I understand.
Even if I don't.

What would you want me to say?

I do have a job to do.

I don't know what you should
say, but maybe nothing...

Maybe how I feel? I'm having my first
child and ask if I'm scared and....

I just don't want to be
disappointed again and again.

Tell me what you expect from me.

Well, I'm your daughter...

I need care and love
and the feeling of...

...the feeling of being
important to you.

You are important to me.

Listen to me, there is a young
woman who has been murdered.

And her body thrown into the sea.

What the hell do
you want me to do?

I don't know.

But if you don't know yourself,
then please don't call me.
