About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "BONUS: Traces of a homicide" from Nordic Crimes: True Crime Podcast Covering Scandinavia covers a death in Northern Sweden that was first treated as a tragic accident but slowly revealed itself as something far darker. In September 2017, a woman in her sixties is found at the bottom of her staircase, her body strangely covered in flour. Investigators initially chalk the scene up to a fall, but forensic details soon complicate that assumption. As the case unfolds, evidence points to a staged mishap and injuries far too severe to match a simple accident, pushing the investigation toward a very different conclusion than the one first assumed.
