Speaker 1: The night air was still, save for the ghostly clanking
Speaker 1: of the boats in the harbor as they bobbed gently
Speaker 1: up and down in the ice cold water. Up above,
Speaker 1: thick dark clouds swelled as a ceaseless barrage of snow
Speaker 1: fell steadily onto everything in sight. Just then a door
Speaker 1: swung open, rupturing for a moment the silence of the
Speaker 1: sleepy Icelandic fishing town with a blast of ecstatic rock music.
Speaker 1: Two young men stumbled out of the doorway onto the
Speaker 1: snow covered pavement as the door whipped shut behind them,
Speaker 1: muffling once more the music from inside. Laughing together, one
Speaker 1: of the men, eighteen year old good munda Insen, took
Speaker 1: a swig from a bottle of brandy, while the other
Speaker 1: up a cigarette and gazed out across the harbor for
Speaker 1: a moment, before the pair then headed off into the
Speaker 1: snow elsewhere. In the early hours of that Sunday of
Speaker 1: January nineteen seventy four, in half naft Jordia, a quiet
Speaker 1: port town ten kilometers south of Reikyevik, eighteen year old
Speaker 1: Urdla Boladotte was returning home. Urdler had been out with
Speaker 1: friends at Kluberin, a popular nightclub in Reikyovik, before getting
Speaker 1: bored and deciding to head back to her apartment. Urdler
Speaker 1: shared the flat with her boyfriend's Civar, but since he
Speaker 1: wasn't home at the time and also had their only key,
Speaker 1: she made her way to the basement window, prized it open,
Speaker 1: and squeezed inside. Finally in, Urdler stumbled toward her bed
Speaker 1: and collapsed exhausted. It was sometimes time later when Urdler
Speaker 1: was stirred from sleep by the sound of voices speaking
Speaker 1: in hushed tones right outside her apartment. Alone in the darkness,
Speaker 1: an anxious Urdler strained to hear what they were saying,
Speaker 1: Though she couldn't be sure, it sounded like Christian, Albert
Speaker 1: and Trigvey, friends of her boyfriend Cyber. From what little
Speaker 1: snippets she could make out, they seemed to be talking
Speaker 1: about Urdler, speculating whether she might be in or not.
Speaker 1: Urdler froze in fear. Though she knew them well enough,
Speaker 1: she'd never spent time with them without Cyber, who told
Speaker 1: her in the past to be wary of them. Unsure
Speaker 1: what on earth they might be doing there, Urdler could
Speaker 1: only listen in terror as she heard the men's footsteps
Speaker 1: edging closer to the apartment. Just then, Urdler bolted up,
Speaker 1: gasped for air in the dark and silent, her hair
Speaker 1: thickly matted with sweat, She scoured the flat for any
Speaker 1: sign of intruders as her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness.
Speaker 1: It was only then that she realized with relief it
Speaker 1: had just been a bad dream. There had been no
Speaker 1: voices outside her apartment. Then she noticed the damp warmth
Speaker 1: under her bed covers and realized with horror that she'd
Speaker 1: soiled herself. In shame and embarrassment, Urdler quickly cleaned herself
Speaker 1: up and stripped the bed, checking that the coast was clear.
Speaker 1: She ran to the outside beIN and threw away the
Speaker 1: bed sheets before returning to her apartment. As all about
Speaker 1: the snow continued to fall. By the following day, Monday,
Speaker 1: January twenty eighth, good Munda had yet returned to his
Speaker 1: home on the eastern fringes of Raikyevik. Having not heard
Speaker 1: from his son since Saturday night, Guthmund's father called his
Speaker 1: friends to see if they might know where he was,
Speaker 1: but each of them gave the same dispiriting answer they
Speaker 1: hadn't heard from him either. The next day, guthmund Ineson
Speaker 1: was declared missing. Over the next few days, police worked
Speaker 1: hard to retrace the young man's steps. Some friends had
Speaker 1: seen him leaving the club with another man who they
Speaker 1: didn't know. That pair had then later been seen by
Speaker 1: two young women who were driving back to Raykyevik at
Speaker 1: the time. The women had pulled over to give the
Speaker 1: men a lift, but having seen how drunk they were
Speaker 1: in the end, decided to head off without them. A
Speaker 1: few hours later, guthmund was seen again, this time on
Speaker 1: his own, walking unsteadily along the main road out of
Speaker 1: Harnaftjorda in the direction of ray Yevik, much as it
Speaker 1: is now. Back in the nineteen seventies, Iceland, with a
Speaker 1: population of roughly two hundred thousand people and with one
Speaker 1: of the most equitable societies in the contemporary world, also
Speaker 1: had one of the world's lowest rates for violent crime,
Speaker 1: with murder being virtually non existent. With it also having
Speaker 1: been snowing and below freezing the night Gudmunda disappeared, the
Speaker 1: police had good reason to assume that he'd simply got
Speaker 1: lost on his way home, somewhere between hannaf Giorda and Raikyevik,
Speaker 1: though there was a main road joining them, Officers turned
Speaker 1: their attention to the lava fields that surrounded the small
Speaker 1: fishing town, a perilous, other worldly stretch of moss covered
Speaker 1: crags and deep fishes hidden under the snow. For the
Speaker 1: next week, over two hundred people, marshaled by Gudmunder's brother,
Speaker 1: joined the police in their search for the young man's body,
Speaker 1: aided by a number of Coastguard helicopters. However, with over
Speaker 1: sixty centimeters of snow being dumped in the area since
Speaker 1: Gudmunda had disappeared, it was effectively hopeless. By the following week,
Speaker 1: the search was called off. It was a few days
Speaker 1: later in February that Ertler's boyfriend, Cyver Sizelski, arrived home
Speaker 1: from a trip abroad, only to be confronted by the
Speaker 1: burly figure of Christian Peterson, head of customs at Iceland's
Speaker 1: Kevlevik Airport. Peterson seemed to be unusually fixated with the
Speaker 1: eighteen year old Cyvre, who he believed was a key
Speaker 1: figure in what he considered to be a rapidly expanding
Speaker 1: drug problem in Iceland. Just a few months before, Peterson
Speaker 1: had stopped both Cyber and Ertler on their return home
Speaker 1: from a joint trip to the US. Both had been
Speaker 1: strip searched as a result, with Ertler being allowed to
Speaker 1: go home straight after but Cyver being kept behind. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't be until a week later that Urtler saw him again.
Speaker 1: As Cyver later explained, Peterson had accused him of smuggling morphine,
Speaker 1: but when he couldn't find anything, had taken him to
Speaker 1: Siddhamuli Prison, a holding prison in the center of Reikyevik.
Speaker 1: Once there, Cyber claimed he was routinely beaten up and
Speaker 1: kept in solitary confinement, until finally being released a week
Speaker 1: later when the police couldn't keep him any longer. Though
Speaker 1: this arrest of Cyber had undoubtedly been heavy handed and
Speaker 1: without justification, Peterson's suspicions weren't entirely unfounded. Crime related to alcohol,
Speaker 1: which was heavily regulated by the government, and other drugs,
Speaker 1: had been increasing in recent years as a result of
Speaker 1: the expanding communication and tourism industries, which were exposing more
Speaker 1: people than ever to other ultures and ways of life.
Speaker 1: Just as beer, of which any with an alcohol content
Speaker 1: higher than two point twenty five percent was banned by
Speaker 1: the government, was becoming more popular so too were people
Speaker 1: becoming interested in fashionable drugs like LSD and cannabis. Though
Speaker 1: Cyver didn't drink or take other drugs himself, he had
Speaker 1: dabbled in selling stolen alcohol, which in his capacity as
Speaker 1: a customs officer, had first brought Cyver to Peterson's attention.
Speaker 1: He also often traveled abroad to buy cannabis to sell
Speaker 1: back in Iceland. However, when Peterson picked Cyver up that February,
Speaker 1: it wasn't for either of these things, but rather for
Speaker 1: a recent jewelry heist that he was convinced Cyver had
Speaker 1: been involved with, just as before. Having denied all involvement,
Speaker 1: Cyver was once again taken to Siddamuli Prison, only this
Speaker 1: time he was kept in solitary confiman for a month,
Speaker 1: only being allowed to leave when he gave police incriminating
Speaker 1: details about a friend of his. Civa and Ergler had
Speaker 1: first met in the early seventies when Civar was going
Speaker 1: out with a friend of Ergler's called Hulda, not thinking
Speaker 1: much about him at the time, The pair later became
Speaker 1: close when Hulda pulled out of a trip that she
Speaker 1: and Urdler had planned to take to America and Civar
Speaker 1: took the ticket instead. Though the pair had separate plans
Speaker 1: to visit people in the US, Civar eventually followed Urtler
Speaker 1: to Washington, d C. It was there at a party
Speaker 1: one night that Ergla's drink was spiked with LSD. Feeling
Speaker 1: suddenly anxious, Urdler stumbled into a dark room in the
Speaker 1: hope of finding somewhere to lie down when she tripped
Speaker 1: over somebody's legs. It was Cyvar, who had also inadvertently
Speaker 1: drunk some of the l s D. After suggesting that
Speaker 1: he and Urdler try and ride the trip out together,
Speaker 1: the pair spent the rest of the evening lying next
Speaker 1: to each other as they proceeded to recount the story
Speaker 1: of their lives. Erdler would never again see Cyvar in
Speaker 1: the same light. That night, the cocky, seemingly self assured
Speaker 1: Saivar told Erdler all about his time growing up the
Speaker 1: only family in his neighborhood that owned a t V
Speaker 1: and how all the kids in the street used to
Speaker 1: come and crowd around it, about those happy days when
Speaker 1: as a young boy he used to play act and
Speaker 1: mess about with his siblings, and about his Polish American
Speaker 1: father who used to beat him mercilessly with a belt
Speaker 1: whenever he stepped out of line. At school, Civar, who
Speaker 1: had Jewish routes and had inherited his father's Eastern European looks,
Speaker 1: was bullied for being different, and before long he was
Speaker 1: skipping school. After befriending Albert Scarfteson and Chris jan Vedersen,
Speaker 1: a tall boy with a reputation as one of the
Speaker 1: harder kids at school, Civar, along with the other two,
Speaker 1: spent more and more time playing truant and soon began
Speaker 1: stealing from local shops, all the while at home, his
Speaker 1: parents marriage was falling apart. Cyvar's father, Michael, had originally
Speaker 1: come over from the US and had always felt an
Speaker 1: outsider in Iceland. Becoming increasingly depressed and dissatisfied with his work,
Speaker 1: he started to drink more and take his frustrations out
Speaker 1: on the family and on Civar, especially. At fourteen, the
Speaker 1: young Civar was sent to a boarding home for what
Speaker 1: the state considered to be problem children. Many years later,
Speaker 1: that same school would become the center of a horrific
Speaker 1: social services scandal involving the physical and sexual abuse of
Speaker 1: many of the boys who were forced to stay there.
Speaker 1: Saivar told Ertler about all of it. It was while
Speaker 1: he was staying at the boarding school that Saivar's father
Speaker 1: was killed in a car crash. When the pair returned
Speaker 1: home a few months later, Ertler got her first taste
Speaker 1: of what being in a relationship with Saivar would entail,
Speaker 1: being strip searched on arrival. However, despite all of that
Speaker 1: and her family's concern at the burgeoning relationship, she'd fallen
Speaker 1: completely in love with him after moving in together soon
Speaker 1: after their return from the US. It wasn't long before
Speaker 1: Ertler was being drafted in to Saivar's illicit schemes. With
Speaker 1: her job at the Icelandic Post and Telephone company, Ertler
Speaker 1: took the ounity to help move on or the alcohol
Speaker 1: that Civar and his friends had stolen from the docks
Speaker 1: by selling it to her colleagues. Meanwhile, Civar was devoting
Speaker 1: more and more time to selling cannabis, often having to
Speaker 1: leave Ertler for days on end for the pickups. In July,
Speaker 1: Ertler discovered that he'd been cheating on her. When she
Speaker 1: told him she was leaving him, he assaulted her, kicking
Speaker 1: her in the stomach. Undeterred, Ertler followed through with her decision,
Speaker 1: but before long the young couple were back together, with
Speaker 1: the repentant Civar promising to be a better partner. To
Speaker 1: that end, he wanted out at the drugs trade, which
Speaker 1: had only ever really been just a way to make money.
Speaker 1: His dreams, he explained to Ertler, was to one day
Speaker 1: become a filmmaker, but to do that would need a
Speaker 1: lot more money. Having grown increasingly angry since his last arrest,
Speaker 1: he also wanted to find a way to get back
Speaker 1: at society after all the years of abuse and harassment
Speaker 1: he'd suffered at its hands. Before long, he and Ertler
Speaker 1: had devised a plan. One evening, after tampering with their
Speaker 1: phone to make it sound as if they were calling
Speaker 1: from abroad, the couple contacted the Icelandic Post and Telephone
Speaker 1: company and requested half a million krona equivalent to fifty
Speaker 1: thousand US dollars in today's money, to be sent to
Speaker 1: a depot in Raikovik. A few days later, with a
Speaker 1: simple false id, Ertler traveled to the depot and collected
Speaker 1: the cash. The pair spent the night in an upmarket
Speaker 1: hotel and treated themselves to room service to celebrate Over
Speaker 1: the next few days, Sivar spent three hundred thousand krona
Speaker 1: on film equipment, and Urtler bought a car. The rest
Speaker 1: they saved careful not to draw too much attention to themselves.
Speaker 1: Are you always taking care of your family? Do you
Speaker 1: often take care of others and not yourself? Now it's

Speaker 1: Unexplained podcast. On November nineteenth, nineteen seventy four, in Kevlevic,
Speaker 1: fifty kilometers southwest of Raikyevik, Thorda Ingamarsen arrived at the
Speaker 1: home of his friend Geffener Ineson with the intention of
Speaker 1: taking him out to watch a film. However, by the
Speaker 1: time Thorda had made it to Geffner's house, his friend's
Speaker 1: plans had changed, explaining vaguely that he wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to go now because he'd just been summoned to an
Speaker 1: impromptu meeting at a cafe in Keflevik Harbor. Geffner apologized
Speaker 1: for wasting his friend's time. Alarmingly, Geffner wouldn't say exactly
Speaker 1: who he was meeting, only that he'd been asked to
Speaker 1: come alone and on foot, and that he wasn't allowed
Speaker 1: to tell anyone about it. Confused and concerned for his friend,
Speaker 1: Thorda offered to drive Geffenner close to the cafe to
Speaker 1: make sure nothing bad was about to happen. Having dropped
Speaker 1: him off and satisfied that all was okay, Thorda returned home.
Speaker 1: Moments later. The cafe's owner watched as Geffner entered the building,
Speaker 1: clearly annoyed that whoever he was there to meet was
Speaker 1: not there. Also, after buying a pack of cigarettes, he
Speaker 1: promptly left. Fifteen minutes later, the owner watched as a
Speaker 1: second man entered her cafe and asked to use the
Speaker 1: pay phone. When the owner pointed out the phone at
Speaker 1: the back of the room, the man duie headed over
Speaker 1: to it and proceeded to make a phone call. Around
Speaker 1: the same time, Geffener, now back at home, was overheard
Speaker 1: by his wife and son taking a phone call from
Speaker 1: someone they didn't know. In the ensuing conversation, Geffener's wife, Goodney,
Speaker 1: later stated that she heard him say something about already
Speaker 1: having been there before. He relented, saying he will go again,
Speaker 1: hanging up the phone without any explanation to Goodney, Geffenner
Speaker 1: collected his car keys and drove off into the night.
Speaker 1: The following day, Geffenner's abandoned red Ford quartina was found
Speaker 1: parked two hundred meters from the Harbor Cafe with the
Speaker 1: keys still in the ignition, but Geffner was never seen again.
Speaker 1: A week later, Urdler and Civar were watching TV when
Speaker 1: the story of Geffenner's disappearance came on the news. Civar
Speaker 1: was unimpressed. Clearly, he said the man had just said
Speaker 1: something he shouldn't have and had been bumped off because
Speaker 1: of it. Urdler hadn't thought anything of it at the time,
Speaker 1: since Ivar often liked to sound as if he had
Speaker 1: first hand knowledge of such things. The couple had been
Speaker 1: laying low for the last few weeks, waiting for any
Speaker 1: heat from their crime to blow over. However, with Ertler's
Speaker 1: connection to the post and telephone company, it hadn't taken
Speaker 1: the police long to figure out who might have been involved.
Speaker 1: A few days later, Erdler discovered that a warrant had
Speaker 1: been issued for her and Civar's arrest. Knowing it would
Speaker 1: only be a matter of time before they were pulled in,
Speaker 1: Civar made the drastic suggestion that they flee immediately to
Speaker 1: Copenhagen to stay with friends until the whole thing died down,
Speaker 1: packing what few bits they had and changing what was
Speaker 1: left of the money. In December, the couple, traveling separately
Speaker 1: so as not to arouse suspicion, made their way to Denmark.
Speaker 1: Back in Kevlovik police station, detective Voltire Sigurdson was looking
Speaker 1: forward to a long needed break. As the lead investigator
Speaker 1: into the disappearance of Geffener, Einesen Voltaire had overseen a
Speaker 1: rather stilted operation that had been slow to get on
Speaker 1: top of the case. Despite the suspicious circumstances surrounding the
Speaker 1: man's disappearance. The team had failed to confirm if the
Speaker 1: mysterious call he took shortly before he went missing had
Speaker 1: indeed come from the cafe. Other lines of inquiry, such
Speaker 1: as men whom Geffener's wife was having an affair with,
Speaker 1: were not followed up, and a variety of conflicting eye
Speaker 1: witness reports all contributed badly to the clumsy investigation. Relieved
Speaker 1: to be taking a break from it all, Sigurdson was
Speaker 1: only too happy to hand the reins of the investigation
Speaker 1: to his colleague Halker Goodmanson and head of Customs Christian Petersen.
Speaker 1: Petersen had been brought in due to his suspicions that
Speaker 1: Geffener's disappearance might in some way be linked to the
Speaker 1: illegal alcohol trade, which Sigurdson had dismissed. With Sigurdson now
Speaker 1: out at the picture, Goodmanson and Peterson decided to pursue
Speaker 1: the alcohol angle, following a tip that Geffener had once
Speaker 1: been asked to suggest people who might be willing to
Speaker 1: smuggle alcohol into the port. The police discovered he'd spent
Speaker 1: a night at Kluburn nightclub in Reikyevich. Since he rarely
Speaker 1: went out, there was reason to think this a little suspicious.
Speaker 1: The link was also significant since one description of the
Speaker 1: man who made the phone call from the Harbor cafe
Speaker 1: on the night of Geffener's disappearance bore a striking resemblance
Speaker 1: to one Magnus Leopoldsen, the manager of Klubrin. This line
Speaker 1: of inquiry was quickly snuffed out, however, when it emerged
Speaker 1: that the Klubrin building was leased from the ruling political
Speaker 1: party at the time. Embarrassed by the connection, the Justice Department,
Speaker 1: led by former Prime Minister to Olafur Johannassen, lent on
Speaker 1: the Kevlovik police department to leave Kluburn alone. With no
Speaker 1: other major leads, in June nineteen seventy five, the investigation
Speaker 1: was effectively wound down. In Denmark, things had been good
Speaker 1: at first for Urdler and Civar, with Urdler enjoying the
Speaker 1: relative sense of freedom the move had afforded. Before long, however,
Speaker 1: their money had run out and Urdler had begun to
Speaker 1: suffer regular bouts of sickness. When she missed her next period,
Speaker 1: she knew instantly she was pregnant. By March, with no
Speaker 1: money to speak of, Urdler had been reduced to stealing
Speaker 1: tomatoes just to keep from starving. Worried for the health
Speaker 1: of the baby, Urgler had little option but to return home,
Speaker 1: whatever the consequences. But when she told Civar of this vision,
Speaker 1: he demanded she stay, having only heard recently that the
Speaker 1: police were still looking to arrest them. When she refused,
Speaker 1: he attacked her again, kicking her hard in the stomach.
Speaker 1: Though she couldn't be sure, Urdler suspected he'd done it
Speaker 1: deliberately to harm the baby. Urdler left the next day
Speaker 1: and moved back in with her mother in Raikiavik. In September,
Speaker 1: Urdler gave birth to a girl, whom she named Julia.
Speaker 1: By then, she and Civar were back together and living
Speaker 1: in a property in copper Vaga, just south of the capitol.
Speaker 1: Two months later, Civar and his friend Gujon were arrested
Speaker 1: and put into custody after attempting to smuggle cannabis from France.
Speaker 1: As the police worked to strengthen their case against them,
Speaker 1: they were given some interesting news. A prisoner currently serving
Speaker 1: time with SI's friend Christian, had learned from Christian that
Speaker 1: Sivar and Ertler had been responsible for the theft from
Speaker 1: the post and telephone company. One day in December, while
Speaker 1: Ertler was feeding her baby, there was a knock at
Speaker 1: the front door. She opened it to find two police
Speaker 1: officers with a warrant for her arrest. After arranging for
Speaker 1: her sister to take care of Julia, Ertler was led
Speaker 1: out to the waiting police car and driven the short
Speaker 1: distance to Siddamuli Prison. On arrival, she was led straight
Speaker 1: into the prison interrogation room, a small space at the
Speaker 1: entrance of the prison known to the officers as the Corner.
Speaker 1: The room had been strategically chosen to give arriving interviewees
Speaker 1: a glimpse of the prison beyond a reminder of what
Speaker 1: they could look forward to should they fail to comply,
Speaker 1: but Ertler had no intention of giving them what they needed.
Speaker 1: Over the next few days, but by then, twenty year
Speaker 1: old Urtler was brought in and out of solitary confinement
Speaker 1: and placed in the dull, smoke filled interview room without
Speaker 1: a lawyer, as the police, led by the investigating magistrate
Speaker 1: Born Hoskuldsen, tried desperately to extract a confession. Only after
Speaker 1: drawing on a letter they had found in her and
Speaker 1: Sivar's apartment in which Ertler had detailed her many grievances
Speaker 1: with him, did they begin to get somewhere. Look how
Speaker 1: dangerous Civar was, they insisted, how bad he was for
Speaker 1: her and the baby. Clearly he didn't care about them,
Speaker 1: and what would grown up Julia think about her mother
Speaker 1: refusing to cooperate with the police like this. After spending
Speaker 1: almost a week in solitary confinement undergoing twenty five hours
Speaker 1: of interrogation, Ergler couldn't stand it any longer. Desperate to
Speaker 1: see her baby again, she finally confessed to it all,
Speaker 1: giving the officers a full statement of what happened, with
Speaker 1: Magistrate Hoskuldson smiling at her and congratulating her on doing
Speaker 1: the right thing. Ertler sat back in her chair as
Speaker 1: a wave of relief washed over her. It seemed so easy.
Speaker 1: In the end, all she had had to do was
Speaker 1: tell them exactly what they wanted to hear, and it
Speaker 1: was over. Ertler had just stood up to leave, with
Speaker 1: her thoughts only about seeing her baby again, when Hoskuldsen
Speaker 1: called out to her. Just one more thing, he said.
Speaker 1: Then he pulled a photo from a file on the
Speaker 1: table and showed it to Ertler. You don't happen to
Speaker 1: recognize this man by any chance, he said. Ertler, caught
Speaker 1: a little off guard, looked at the photo. She recognized
Speaker 1: him immediately as good munder Ineson, the eighteen year old
Speaker 1: boy who'd gone missing back in January nineteen seventy four. Urgler,
Speaker 1: as she explained, had met him a few times when
Speaker 1: she was just sixteen. They chatted once or twice on
Speaker 1: nights out, but nothing more than that. Raskoldsen looked at
Speaker 1: his colleagues and motioned for Urtler to sit down again.
Speaker 1: Gripped by a sudden panic, Ertler looked toward the exit
Speaker 1: now firmly closed, and slowly sat back down in the chair.
Speaker 1: What were you doing on the evening of January twenty sixth,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four, the night good Munda went missing, asked Oskoldsen.
Speaker 1: Were you with Civar by any chance? Ertler's mind went blank. Then,
Speaker 1: thinking for a moment, she slowly began to remember where
Speaker 1: she'd been that night. It was the night of her
Speaker 1: peculiar dream, being woken up by what she thought was
Speaker 1: the sound of three of Sivar's friends whispering conspiratorially in
Speaker 1: the dark outside her apartment. She proceeded to tell the
Speaker 1: officers everything she'd done that night, how she'd come home
Speaker 1: exhausted from Klubrin nightclub and gone straight to bed. She
Speaker 1: even told them about the nightmare, but not about how
Speaker 1: she soiled the sheets. That she'd been too embarrassed to
Speaker 1: say out loud to the numerous older men crowding expectantly
Speaker 1: around the interview table. Instead, she explained that at some
Speaker 1: point she'd gone outside for some fresh air and found
Speaker 1: herself standing next to the bin where she'd seen a
Speaker 1: sheet deposited at the bottom of it, and that was
Speaker 1: all of it. Hoskuldson leant back in his chair and
Speaker 1: thought for a moment something clearly bothering him. He asked
Speaker 1: Urtler to go through it again, and again something seemed
Speaker 1: strange to him, This business with the sheet. It was
Speaker 1: such an unusual detail, he thought, Why did Ertler include it.
Speaker 1: But Ertler wouldn't say it was obvious. He said something
Speaker 1: terrible had happened that night, something so traumatizing that Ertler
Speaker 1: could no longer remember it. Not to worry, he explained,
Speaker 1: he would help her remember what it was, and she
Speaker 1: wouldn't be leaving until he had the answer. You've been
