16: Tell Her Parents
A missing child causes feelings of helplessness and despair, especially among those closest to the boy or girl - parents, family and friends. But it can also have a profound impact on police officers, detectives, journalists and judges. In 1989, ten-year-old Helén disappears. Her family and the investigators working on the case have to endure a 15-year wait for answers to their questions.

14: Alias Natural Selector 89
Since the 1990s, violent computer games and aggressive music have been seen as the reasons for violence among young people. Meanwhile, experts urge the media not to describe suicides in too much detail to avoid putting ideas into people’s heads. But can murder really be contagious?

12: The Lonely Murderer
An old photo from the seventies shows an average middle-aged man. He wears a pair of dark-rimmed glasses and a white coat and his piercing gaze exudes authority. At that point nobody knows that a few years later this image will be published in all Norwegian papers. Arnfinn Nesset is suspected of murdering some 60 patients in only three years.

Murder in the North explores some of the most shocking murder cases in Scandinavia. Like the case of the young woman who set off from Tokyo on a back-packing journey across Europe in 1987, but whose adventure of a lifetime would end in tragedy in Copenhagen's cold waters. Or, the twisted tale of obsession that led two Swedish teenagers to organise an unspeakable murder over text message. Or the woman who mysteriously disappears one week before her wedding. Our account of these cases is based on sources in the public domain, including interviews, press releases and court proceedings to tells the stories of the most chilling and shocking cases to rock Northern Europe.
