About This Episode
Sagen Genåbnet is a Danish true crime podcast that digs into unsolved killings and reopens old cases using modern investigative techniques. In this episode — "5. Love and Violence: Philip's Relationship Ended in Control and Jealousy" — the focus is not a cold case but the personal account of DJ Philip Lundsgaard and a relationship shaped by control and jealousy.
Lundsgaard met a woman ten years his junior in 2020 and fell head over heels for her. He believed the relationship would last forever. Over time, however, red flags began to appear, and what had started as love developed into control and a constant fear of losing her — a fear that, in the end, made him lose himself.
The episode circles one central question: how could things go so badly wrong? Lundsgaard has since written a book about the experience, 'Når kærlighed bliver til kontrol' ('When Love Becomes Control'), and the conversation draws on that account.
The hosts are Jesper Vestergaard Larsen and Sanne Fahnøe. The episode is number 221 in the series and runs 28 minutes. Sagen Genåbnet is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and several other platforms.
