1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:07,800
It is very intriguing that you hearrows wereców

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,540
so piggyback grooms say yes,

3
00:00:10,540 --> 00:00:22,400
that this we 앞으로 to sa multiplied in Grand

4
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,600
Begin the day of the whereabouts.

5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,720
Isn't Clark an idol singer?

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,720
When you hear that a young, elegant, unidentified woman

7
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,360
is found dead in a hotel room.

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,200
There must be a family out there somewhere that

9
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,800
needs to know what happened to her.

10
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,720
Why was she and also what was the reason for her visit?

11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Why was she found dead with the boot

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,320
whole through her forehead?

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,760
There are so many things we need to find out.

14
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:55,320
The only thing we know about the woman

15
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,360
The only thing we know about the woman

16
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,360
is that a Wednesday evening in the end of May 1995,

17
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,640
a woman checks in at the Plaza Hotel,

18
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,720
which was at that time the top luxury hotel in Oslo.

19
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:40,680
THREE DAYS IN

20
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,680
into her stay.

21
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,680
One of the cashiers suddenly realized that

22
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,680
she has not given a credit card for their stay.

23
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,680
This was an expensive room.

24
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,680
And there had been a don't disturb sign on the door for two days.

25
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,680
So one of the security guards took the elevator up to the 28th floor,

26
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,680
walked up to the door, knocked on the door,

27
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,680
and in a second later...

28
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,680
That was a gunshot.

29
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,680
He waited for a little while,

30
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,680
and then he decided to take the elevator down to the ground floor

31
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,680
to security headquarters.

32
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,680
The door was closed.

33
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,680
So there is a gap about 15 minutes when the room was not guarded.

34
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,680
So no one knows if anyone left the room in this period.

35
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,680
Then the security chief came back,

36
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680
knocked on the door, no one answered.

37
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,680
The door was double locked from the inside,

38
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,680
in the means that you don't want anyone to enter,

39
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,680
and only security can enter the room when it is double locked.

40
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,680
He used his security key card to open the door.

41
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,680
And he sees a woman on the bed.

42
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,680
It smells a strange, acrid smell, is what he describes it like.

43
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:43,680
So he closes the door and orders his colleagues to call the police.

44
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,680
So we approached that room very carefully,

45
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,680
and we found the woman dead on her bed

46
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,680
with the gun in her hand.

47
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,680
And a wound in her head.

48
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,680
And the hotel door was double locked from inside.

49
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,680
The woman inside did not want to be disturbed.

50
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,680
And there were no trace of other persons in the room.

51
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,680
There was no evidence of a struggle.

52
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,680
And what we found in the room indicated

53
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,680
just she had been living there alone.

54
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,680
We found there was very few entering from the room

55
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,680
during the stay she had at the hotel.

56
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,680
And there was no immediate entering

57
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,680
around the time for her death.

58
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,680
The police, theoretically,

59
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,680
was that she had stuck to herself.

60
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,680
She had been alone,

61
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680
spent almost her entire time in Oslo

62
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,680
within her hotel room

63
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,680
preparing for what she knew was coming, her death.

64
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,680
In one of the documents it says

65
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,680
99.9% sure it is a suicide.

66
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,680
But when the investigators went through the room,

67
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,680
they couldn't find any identity.

68
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,680
No credit card, no driver's license,

69
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,680
no wallet, no car keys, no home door keys,

70
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,680
which people normally bring with them.

71
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,680
No toothbrush, hairbrush, no cosmetics,

72
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,680
no toiletries.

73
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,680
And we did not find any kind of ID card,

74
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,680
not even her passport.

75
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,680
And that's very real because

76
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,680
mainly people have to have passports to come to Norway.

77
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,680
We looked at her clothes

78
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680
and found one odd thing

79
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,680
that all her labels on all clothes she had was removed.

80
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,680
She had sweaters, she had trench coats,

81
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,680
she had many clothes for her upper body,

82
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,680
but nothing from the waist and down.

83
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,680
And then there were also some other very strange things.

84
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,680
She was able to be given a room

85
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,680
without giving any identification.

86
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,680
She didn't show any credit card,

87
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,680
she didn't pay in advance.

88
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,680
It was a five-star hotel,

89
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,680
a place for kings and queens and movie stars and rock stars.

90
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,680
And they were pretty strict about security.

91
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,680
She didn't even show her passport.

92
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,680
She was just given a room.

93
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,680
This isn't possible to explain

94
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,680
because this is a break of all rules at a hotel.

95
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,680
The only thing we know about her identity

96
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,680
is the information she gave on the registration card.

97
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,680
And we have found her name,

98
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,680
date of birth

99
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,680
and telephone number.

100
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,680
What country she lived in.

101
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,680
She had given a Belgian street address in this tiny village.

102
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,680
So the police informed the Belgian police,

103
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:40,680
wanted to inform the poor woman's family that she was dead.

104
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:45,680
And then they suddenly realized that

105
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,680
there is no family to notify

106
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,680
because this person doesn't exist.

107
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:52,680
She had checked in under a false name.

108
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,680
They looked for fingerprints.

109
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,680
They found only fingerprints from the dead woman.

110
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,680
All fingerprints were of course run through in the pool.

111
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,680
And no one reacted to it.

112
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,680
So it was unknown to police.

113
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,680
Then the police started worrying,

114
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:26,680
is this something else than a suicide?

115
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,680
Just two or three days before arrival,

116
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:35,680
she called the hotel and said she was coming with a Louis Fergate.

117
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:40,680
And that name was also written on the registration card.

118
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,680
One of the front desk operators

119
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,680
believes she observed a person,

120
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,680
a man standing beside her.

121
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,680
But after that,

122
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,680
Louis Fergate disappears.

123
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,680
The hotel had pretty tight security

124
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,680
and they had cameras.

125
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,680
But then unfortunately there are no information

126
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:09,680
in the police documents about the police searching these cameras.

127
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:14,680
So to me it doesn't look like they ever searched the cameras.

128
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:20,680
So there are no other signs of Louis Fergate's existence.

129
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,680
We tried first with Belgium and in the pool,

130
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:26,680
but we got no more information about him.

131
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:31,680
We don't know if Louis exists.

132
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,680
The police, they didn't know what to believe.

133
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,680
I think this story is so weird.

134
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:44,680
There are so many questions and so few answers.

135
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:47,680
But the real question is,

136
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,680
her identity.

137
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,680
We were hoping that missing persons reports

138
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,680
could help us identify her.

139
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:02,680
But because no one from her family has claimed they're missing,

140
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,680
we can't decide who she is.

141
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,680
And that is,

142
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,680
we still got that question, who is she?

143
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,680
And for the first time,

144
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,680
and for the next couple of weeks,

145
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,680
it was a homicide investigation.

146
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:27,680
But then the investigation didn't bring any new information,

147
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:30,680
so then they went back to the original theory

148
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:34,680
that this was a tragic suicide.

149
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:40,680
Maybe the woman was depressed or had some psychiatric problems,

150
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:44,680
wanted to die alone, didn't want anyone to find her.

151
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:51,680
We kept her body for one year before we buried her.

152
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:55,680
In case we should get an identification of her.

153
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:59,680
In 1996, they closed the case

154
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:03,680
and decided that they had to bury the woman.

155
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:13,680
It wasn't a funeral.

156
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:15,680
It was just a burial.

157
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:18,680
No priests,

158
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:21,680
a coffin,

159
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,680
and the pole bearers.

160
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:35,680
How can a funeral or a burial be more alone than this one?

161
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:39,680
That's the point when I got involved in this story.

162
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:43,680
I was doing a series of stories on missing persons in Norway

163
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,680
and unidentified bodies.

164
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,680
I thought, this is a story I have to do.

165
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:08,680
This is the grave of Jennifer Fairgate.

166
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,680
This is where she was buried.

167
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:18,680
No headstone because no one knew who she was.

168
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,680
Why is it important to find out

169
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,680
why a person died nearly 25 years ago?

170
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,680
People die all the time.

171
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:39,680
There are so many unidentified dead people all around the world.

172
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,680
So why is it important?

173
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:46,680
Well, I think every life matters.

174
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:53,680
I think that Jennifer Fairgate, whatever her name really is,

175
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:56,680
I think she deserves a headstone with her name on.

176
00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,680
And I think her family deserves to know what happened to her.

177
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,680
So I did the story.

178
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,680
That was 1996.

179
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,680
And I kept my notes in my desk drawer.

180
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,680
And for the next 20 years, from time to time,

181
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:27,680
I took the story out because I was sure this wasn't an intriguing story,

182
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,680
a real life mystery that people would get.

183
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,680
And I was interested in.

184
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,680
And maybe if I could spread this story wide enough,

185
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,680
that could give us valuable information about her life

186
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,680
and that could tell us what happened in Room 2805.

187
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,680
She claimed to be from Berlin in Bilsen,

188
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,680
a tiny village that actually exists.

189
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,680
And that's why we have to go here

190
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,680
to see if we can find any trace of Jennifer.

191
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Because there must have been one reason or another

192
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,680
for choosing this little town.

193
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,680
Right here in the middle of the city,

194
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,680
a little town.

195
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680
Lars asked me if I could help him out,

196
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,680
if he could do some research,

197
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,680
talk with some people here in Belgium,

198
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,680
if they had heard about the case,

199
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,680
if they knew what was going on.

200
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,680
At first I thought, well, this is going to be easy.

201
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,680
I just go to Berlin, show the picture about,

202
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,680
and if she's really for there, people are going to say,

203
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,680
oh yeah, I know who she was, they're going to know her story.

204
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
In the years, you know a lot of people from this village.

205
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,680
I was born in 1956, I'm from Berlin.

206
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,680
I'm always in my neighborhood,

207
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,680
because I built a house next to my parents' house,

208
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,680
but I'm always in my neighborhood.

209
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,680
So I've known her since I was a kid,

210
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,680
and that's how she came to Bourkemenst.

211
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,680
We know people, and finally, we love the population,

212
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,680
and we love to serve people,

213
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,680
but in general, we know people.

214
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,680
May I show you something?

215
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,680
This is a woman you met here in Berlin in the 90s.

216
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,680
It says nothing to me.

217
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:37,680
No.

218
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,680
But this kind of woman, nobody had ever seen this woman.

219
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680
She was a complete stranger to these people.

220
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Jennifer claimed to live in Rue de la Station,

221
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,680
and no. 148.

222
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,680
Here's 96, 98.

223
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,680
And it literally stops at 100.

224
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,680
So that means the White House is the last house.

225
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,680
The White House is the very last one.

226
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,680
No. 98 is the last one.

227
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,680
This is another street.

228
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,680
So I think we conclude that she was not from Berlin.

229
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,680
Otherwise, we should have known,

230
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,680
just met someone who actually knew her.

231
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,680
It's a very small village,

232
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,680
and it was even smaller in the 90s.

233
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,680
There was some connection,

234
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,680
but I still do not know what that connection is.

235
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,680
I don't know what connection it is.

236
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,680
I don't know what connection it is.

237
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,680
I'm quite sure that Jennifer wasn't from this place,

238
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,680
but she must have known something about this place and this area.

239
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,680
The street exists,

240
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,680
the phone numbers she gave up are pretty consistent with this area.

241
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,680
So she must have known something about this place

242
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,680
without being from here.

243
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,680
She was very successful at hiding her identity.

244
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,680
And we are still left with the same problem.

245
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,680
As always in this story, there are no traces.

246
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,680
There are no paths to follow.

247
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,680
It's like following a ghost.

248
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,680
It's so strange that no one

249
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,680
have been able to recognize this woman.

250
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,680
We have made sketches of her.

251
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,680
It has been widely published in several languages, several countries.

252
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,680
She must have had friends, school friends, colleagues, lovers, boyfriends.

253
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,680
Someone knows this woman.

254
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,680
The police theory was that

255
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:27,680
she might have been a depressed woman wanting to take her own life.

256
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,680
But she obviously had a shower when she was found dead.

257
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,680
She was neatly dressed, all in black,

258
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,680
with her high-heeled shoes on her feet.

259
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,680
So it actually looks like a woman about to go out for a night.

260
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:50,680
And besides, the weapon was a 9mm semi-automatic browning pistol.

261
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,680
It's a pretty powerful weapon.

262
00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:01,680
But more strange than that is that she had a briefcase with 25 rounds.

263
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:08,680
And that is another strange thing with this very, very strange and peculiar case.

264
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,680
It's strange to have a suit case with only cartridges in.

265
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,680
You don't need that many cartridges to kill yourself.

266
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,680
You only need one.

267
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680
She wasn't very tall.

268
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,680
She was a tiny woman.

269
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:36,680
She had small hands and she still had a gun in her hand when she was found.

270
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,680
She had a very special hand grip on the gun.

271
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,680
She didn't have the usual grip.

272
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,680
She had an opposite grip with a thumb on the trigger

273
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,680
and her fingers on the other side of the hand grip.

274
00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:01,680
How could she still hold on to such a powerful weapon with this strange grip?

275
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:16,680
The 9mm gun is a tough gun with a hard recoil.

276
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,680
Here we have a similar gun that was used in the case.

277
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,680
This is heavy. It's powerful.

278
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,680
It's more a assault weapon than a weapon that you protect yourself with.

279
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,680
She was firing with her thumb here

280
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,680
and then you'd have a very bad grip on the weapon.

281
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,680
And I would say that normally the weapon will be thrown away.

282
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,680
You could see the recoil from the weapon.

283
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:07,680
So when you fire and the recoil pushes the gun back,

284
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,680
I think it's very odd that the gun is not falling out of her hand.

285
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,680
I think maybe there must have been a second person.

286
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:37,680
It could have been a suicide, except for the fact that there were no blood spots on her hand.

287
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,680
In most cases, I think when people perform suicide, they are shaky

288
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:49,680
and they will also put a left hand around the barrel and do it like this.

289
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:56,680
And then there will be typical blood spots or suit deposits here,

290
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,680
as you can see in this picture here.

291
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:05,680
So I think I've never seen a case without any blood spots on the hand

292
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,680
when they have performed suicide like this or like this or against the head.

293
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,680
I think from the scene investigation there were blood spots all over,

294
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,680
the roof and the walls, but not here.

295
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,680
And that's difficult to explain.

296
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,680
It's a total picture that is very suspicious.

297
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,680
Well, I think homicide cannot be excluded.

298
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,680
Was it a homicide? But why? And how?

299
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,680
The only thing we know is that this was definitely the gun that killed her.

300
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,680
In order to look closer on this, I decided to reconstruct the crime scene.

301
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,680
I consulted criminal experts.

302
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,680
These two guys are really experienced.

303
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,680
And the weapon is, in fact, as well as used.

304
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,680
Yes, but that's not the weapon.

305
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,680
It's a crime to be arrested.

306
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,680
It's not the weapon that's used.

307
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:25,680
And then there should be a good blood on the chest, on the clear side.

308
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,680
If there's nothing on the way.

309
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,680
But if there's a person sitting over there or someone holding something,

310
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,680
holding hands and stuff.

311
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,680
I pacifized the police, even though I might have really wanted to sit with the knives up on the police.

312
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,680
This is like your own crime, to do something like that.

313
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:56,680
And then I might want to press the handbrake down over her face.

314
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,680
Maybe a little back over, so that the head comes in the right place.

315
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,680
And then it shoots.

316
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,680
But didn't you want to be natural and fight back?

317
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,680
I wasn't natural in the fight.

318
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,680
But then it could have been proven earlier.

319
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,680
And then the customer could have been killed.

320
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,680
That you couldn't have the opportunity to turn the situation around.

321
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,680
That it's a part of the whole situation.

322
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:31,680
So I don't know, did you lose something when you tried to think about...

323
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,680
I had a toxicological report.

324
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,680
And the only thing that was safe for me was alcohol.

325
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:46,680
I think it's easier to explain things to someone else than to yourself.

326
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,680
To understand what happened in the room.

327
00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:00,680
I decided to do something I often do when I work with stories.

328
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,680
I decided to draw a timeline.

329
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,680
And it was a very easy timeline to draw.

330
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:14,680
Because the keycard registers every time you use the keycard to enter the room.

331
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,680
Not when you exit the room.

332
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:22,680
So we could see every time someone had entered the room with a keycard.

333
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:31,680
Jennifer entered her hotel room for the first time Wednesday evening at 10.44.

334
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,680
Because she wasn't entering the room many times.

335
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:49,680
The police theory was that she had spent most of her time in her hotel room.

336
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,680
Preparing for her suicide.

337
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,680
But then when I filled in the information from the witnesses from the hotel maids.

338
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,680
That gives us really interesting information.

339
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:10,680
We know that when the two maids visited the room at little before 1 PM on Thursday.

340
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,680
The room was empty.

341
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:21,680
That means there were no one in the room until next morning when Jennifer's keycard is used again.

342
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,680
So that is the gap of 20 hours.

343
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,680
So where was she?

344
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,680
Did she know someone in Oslo after all?

345
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,680
Was she together with someone else?

346
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,680
Did she wander around in Oslo for a full day and a full night?

347
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,680
Why was she in Oslo? What was the reason for her visit? Why did she have a gun?

348
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,680
Maybe this could be a drug smuggling thing.

349
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,680
Could she have been a top class prostitute?

350
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:12,680
Could this woman be a secret agent from some sort of intelligence service from one or another country?

351
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,680
Or that she might have been an assassin?

352
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,680
The Plaza Hotel was Oslo's top luxury hotel at the time.

353
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:30,680
And it had been the place for several international top political meetings.

354
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:38,680
And it was one of the places for the secret negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian authorities.

355
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:45,680
These meetings were kept totally secret because of their internal political affairs.

356
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:54,680
And after the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Norway was involved in many peacekeeping negotiations.

357
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,680
I was a leader of a section in the Norwegian intelligence service.

358
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:22,680
Mainly working in areas with war and crisis in Middle East and in Balkan and in Africa as well.

359
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:29,680
It was not James Bond, but it was kind of spying. Of course it was collecting information.

360
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:36,680
Having people to say things they don't want to say about what's going on.

361
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:52,680
What I think is so strange is that she must have had incredible luck in all places that were able to be in the al-Mu'min for so many years.

362
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:58,680
I think it's so strange, but everything is strange.

363
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,680
It's not a question of the word.

364
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:07,680
Everything is strange, but I think the most terrible theory is that this should be self-evident.

365
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:14,680
This is a very good carried out intelligence operation.

366
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:23,680
And what exactly happened there, it's very hard to say, but I have a feeling that she was executed.

367
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:32,680
The first thing was that it was more or less impossible to shoot yourself in the head.

368
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:40,680
The registration number and the number of the members of the party is also very typical.

369
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,680
You have the distance in a way that makes it...

370
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,680
Typical illegal weapon?

371
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,680
Typical illegal weapon and the number of the members of the party is in a professional way.

372
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:56,680
Often people use the number of members of the party or file and file over.

373
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,680
And that always wanted to be able to do some research.

374
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,680
It's a very important number because it's a very important number.

375
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,680
But if it's not professional, I know exactly where the limit is.

376
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,680
Immediately all the marks from her clothing was taken away.

377
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,680
That's normal procedure in the intelligence service.

378
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,680
All intelligence services are doing that.

379
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:34,680
You are going to have a cold operation because you don't want the police to track this back to some places or to a country or something like that.

380
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,680
So that's a common procedure.

381
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,680
She had been absent from the hotel for a long time.

382
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:51,680
That's very common as well, to have a second place to go to if something should happen.

383
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,680
That's very common.

384
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,680
That door was locked from the inside, means nothing.

385
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,680
Professional intelligence organizations have no problems with the open doors.

386
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,680
It's no closed door for intelligence.

387
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,680
It's very hard to find out if they have manipulated it, I can't tell you.

388
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,680
They are very good in that. It's a part of the game.

389
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,680
That's why it's professional that I'm doing all the work.

390
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,680
There's nothing in the training.

391
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Here's someone who has arranged things in a way that's not about family,

392
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,680
whether it's a spy or something like that.

393
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,680
It's also clear that here's...

394
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,680
If she was an intelligence agent and was killed in that way,

395
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:56,680
both sides will be quiet, very quiet, and they will go to the family,

396
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:02,680
maybe and say you have some money here, keep quiet.

397
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,680
Your daughter is a hero, something like that.

398
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,680
The government will take care of that family for the rest of their lives.

399
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,680
That's very common as well for professional intelligence organizations.

400
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,680
If not, what was it?

401
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,680
I can't imagine what it would be like.

402
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:53,680
She had many clothes for her upper body, but nothing from the waist and down.

403
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,680
There were so many strange and peculiar things with this story.

404
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,680
Is there anything more, anything new that could be done?

405
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:16,680
And then suddenly I got the idea that today there are completely different new technology

406
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,680
that didn't exist in 1995.

407
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:27,680
One thing that we didn't have was the DNA of the dead woman,

408
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:33,680
because in 1995 the use of DNA wasn't common within the Norwegian police.

409
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:40,680
They had kept a blood sample of the woman, but that was destroyed a year after

410
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,680
when they buried the woman.

411
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,680
Then they also decided to destroy all evidence in the case,

412
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,680
because this had to be a suicide.

413
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:03,680
And the only way to be able to find the DNA was of course to open the grave.

414
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:22,680
The day of the exhumation was really wet and cold and gloomy in Oslo.

415
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,680
We were very anxious about what we would find.

416
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:36,680
We were hoping that after more than 20 years we would find some traces that could help us identify her.

417
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:52,680
I'm a bit surprised that it was so much left over.

418
00:35:53,680 --> 00:36:00,680
And this was 24 years ago. She was buried, 35 years.

419
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:09,680
We found everything we needed and it resulted in a full DNA profile.

420
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:17,680
The police sent the DNA for analysis and if we were able to find out who she was,

421
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:23,680
that would probably also be able to tell us what happened in that hotel room.

422
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,680
And the result came back.

423
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:36,680
The deceased woman was of European heritage and according to the police reports,

424
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:44,680
one of the front desk operators says that she spoke German with an Eastern German accent.

425
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:51,680
So she might either be from Eastern part of Germany or at least that she might have been living there,

426
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,680
some part of her life.

427
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,680
Unfortunately, the police haven't been able to identify her through the DNA

428
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,680
because there are no matching DNA profiles.

429
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,680
That is because no one has reported her missing.

430
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:16,680
When we didn't succeed with the DNA, we had to try other things.

431
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,680
I was wondering, are there any other way to determine her identity?

432
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,680
On her registration card at the hotel, she claimed to be 21 years old.

433
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:35,680
At the autopsy, the doctor in charge landed on 30 years plus or minus five years,

434
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,680
which is a very long time.

435
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,680
I was wondering if we could determine her age a little more precise.

436
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:51,680
And then I was talking with a Swedish professor and forensic expert

437
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:57,680
and he mentioned that there is another way of determining age of deceased person.

438
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,680
I was wondering if we could determine her age a little more precise.

439
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:09,680
I was talking with a forensic expert and he mentioned that there is another way of determining age of deceased persons.

440
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:16,680
And I realized, oh, this is really interesting because this was a method I had never heard about.

441
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:27,680
Basically, the principle is that during the Cold War, between 1955 through 1963,

442
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,680
there were above ground nuclear test bomb detonations across the globe.

443
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:45,680
All these detonations above ground, they created an increase in the C-14 levels in the atmosphere.

444
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,680
And certain structures like the enamel in the teeth.

445
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:58,680
We'll incorporate the C-14 that was in the atmosphere at that time.

446
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:09,680
So we can use the teeth to birthdate an individual by looking at the C-14 content

447
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,680
to compare with the atmospheric levels.

448
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:22,680
We came up with the result that she most likely was born 1971,

449
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:28,680
which makes her 24 at the time of her death.

450
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,680
We are closer to a solution about this big mystery.

451
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:45,680
So now we know that she was probably born between 1970 and 72.

452
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:52,680
And there is reason to believe she had her childhood and youth in Germany.

453
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,680
And that limits the range where she might have been from.

454
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,680
Then I decided to work with Europe's largest newspaper,

455
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,680
the Bildzeitung in Berlin.

456
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,680
They have a reach of 10 million people daily.

457
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,680
We were hoping that someone might recognize her.

458
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,680
That was our best shot so far.

459
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,680
We received many tips and information.

460
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,680
But nothing that has helped us solve this story yet.

461
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:43,680
I think it's important for society to try to solve cases like this.

462
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,680
And I also believe that this woman deserves to have her name on a gravestone.

463
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,680
I think after all these investigations,

464
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:04,680
I actually think the only thing that can help solve this case is

465
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,680
if someone recognizes Jennifer.

466
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:13,680
I'm absolutely positive there are people out there who know who Jennifer is.

467
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,680
So that is what we are hoping for.

468
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,680
That's the only thing that can solve this mystery.

469
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,680
Thank you.
