11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: being part two of two. The night was still safe

12
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: for the ghostly clanking of the boats in the harbor

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: as they bulbed gent up and down in the ice

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: cold water. Up above, thick dark clouds swirled as a

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: ceaseless barrage of snow fell steadily onto everything in sight.

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: From opposite the harbor, the doors of the half naf

17
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Chudda town hall swung open, rupturing for a moment the

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: silence of the sleepy Icelandic fishing town with a blast

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: of ecstatic rock music. Eighteen year old Guthmunda Insen and

20
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: his friend stumbled out of the doorway into the snow

21
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 1: as the door whipped shut behind them, muffling the music

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: from inside. Laughing together, Kuthmunda took a swig from a

23
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: bottle of brandy while his friend lit up a cigarette

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: and gazed out across the harbor for a moment before

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: the pair of them disappeared into the snow elsewhere and

26
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: half Nafudda. That night, just around the corner from the harbor,

27
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Urtler was returning to her flat since her boyfriend Cyvar,

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: who had the only key, wasn't in. Ergler made her

29
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: way to the basement window, prized it open, and carefully

30
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: squeezed herself into the apartment. Stumbling toward her bed, she

31
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: collapsed on to it, exhausted. Some time later, Ergler was

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: awoken by the sound of voices in the apartment. Getting

33
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: up to investigate, she traced them to the storage room,

34
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: where she discovered Civar, his friend Christian, and another man

35
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: carrying something heavy in a fetid sheet. She watched as

36
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: they placed it on the floor, and Civar and Christian

37
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: tied each end into a knot. Though she couldn't see

38
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: what was in it, She had the horrible sense that

39
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: it was a body. It was only then that Christian

40
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: saw Urgler standing in the doorway. Angered by her presence,

41
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: he ordered the others to pick up the bundle, and

42
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: together they bashed past Ergler and disappeared out of the apartment.

43
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Civar returned moments later and told Ergler, under no uncertain terms,

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: never to breathe a word of what she had just

45
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: seen to anyone, and then left again. Confused and scared,

46
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: Ergler went back to bed and eventually fell asleep. The

47
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: next morning, she noticed a bedsheet at the bottom of

48
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: the rubbish been outside that was covered in fieces Ergla

49
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: sat back and waited for a response from the three

50
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: men sat opposite her, investigating Magistrate orn Hoskuldsen, Detective Sigibune Eggertson,

51
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: and Detective Eggart Janissen, but it was already clear from

52
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: the look on their faces that this answer had been

53
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: far more satisfactory. Over the next six hours, as the

54
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: detectives dug into the specifics, suggesting other possibilities to Urdler,

55
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: they finally had a statement they were happy with. After

56
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: thanking the young woman for contributing to justice. Os Gooldsen

57
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: told her she was now free to go, vowing that

58
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: she would no doubt sleep peacefully, knowing the real truth

59
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: was now out. That afternoon, Urdler was released and returned

60
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: home to her baby Julia, But the real nightmare had

61
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: only just begun, and Urdler would not be awakening from

62
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: this one anytime soon. Having been placed back in solitary confinement,

63
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Urdler had laid down on the thin mattress and gazed

64
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: up at the ceiling as the light slowly ebbed away.

65
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: Alone in the pitch black, Urdler thought hard about that night,

66
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: trying desperately to make solid any of the half formed

67
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: images that were swirling about in the stuttering zeotrope of

68
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: her mind. She had read once before that trauma could

69
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: affect memory. Maybe she really had suppressed what actually took place.

70
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: Maybe the men really had been in her apartment, as

71
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: her scoldson suggested, and maybe it was them who put

72
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: the sheet in the bin and not her. In the end,

73
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: Urdler had decided just to give them what they wanted,

74
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: a plausible version of a truth, anything to see her

75
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: three month old baby again. Later that afternoon, a bleary

76
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: eyed Cyvar was dragged from his cell and taken to

77
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: the corner interview room. Having been re arrested a few

78
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: days before, he'd been questioned numerous times about the post

79
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: office scam, denying everything before the officers shifted their focus

80
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: on to GUTHMUNDA. Ineson's disappearance, but Civar had been utterly bamboozled,

81
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: telling them that he had absolutely nothing to do with it.

82
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: Oskoldsen threw some papers towards Cyvar and told him to

83
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: read them. Civar seemed confused, so Hoskoldsen saved him the

84
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: trouble and detailed to him exactly what Erdler had told

85
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: them only hours before. Cyvar was dumb struck. It just

86
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: wasn't true, he insisted, But as the officers explained just

87
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: how bad this looked for him, his own partner, placing

88
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: him not only at the scene of the crime, but

89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: as perhaps one of its main instigators. How did he

90
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: think the courts might see it? Did he really expect

91
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: them to side with the drug dealing, feckless young man

92
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: who'd spent time growing up in care or the young

93
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: woman whose only focus in life was to protect and

94
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: look after the child that he barely even acknowledged, not

95
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: that they were in any rush to get to the

96
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: bottom of it. After all, they'd already had a court

97
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: order to keep him in solitary confinement for the next

98
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: forty days, and it wouldn't be difficult to ask for

99
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: a few more. And soon Civar was beginning to question

100
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: his memories of that night too. After another six hour interrogation,

101
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: as plumes of thick cigarette smoke swirled about the room,

102
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Civar shifted uncomfortably in his seat and began to talk.

103
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: It had been late in the evening when he returned

104
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: to the apartment in harn Afterda, having just got back

105
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: from a trip abroad to buy hash. He remembered his

106
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: friends Christian Vdersen and Trigg v Leeson came over to

107
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: see him, and that the three of them had hung

108
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: out for a short while. At some point, though he

109
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: didn't know who invited him, Gudmunda Ineson had joined them too.

110
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: That had been a discussion about buying alcohol, and it

111
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: was decided that Gudmunda should pay for it, but when

112
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: he refused to, a fight broke out. The next thing

113
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: they knew, good Wunda was dead. Though it had been

114
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: an accident, He Christian and Triggviy decided in fear to

115
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: dispose of the body and try their best to cover

116
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: it up. Since they didn't have a car, Civar called

117
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: his friend Albert Scaffson to pick them up. When he

118
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: arrived soon after, they placed the body in the boot

119
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: of his car and dumped it down a crevasse somewhere

120
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: in the lava fields just south of half an Alford,

121
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: and that was everything he could remember. Later that afternoon,

122
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: having returned to her mother's home, Hurdler broke down in

123
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: tears at the sight of her baby, taking her into

124
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: her arms for the first time in over a week.

125
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: At night, she will lie awake, replaying the days earlier

126
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: events and over in her head as strange and confused

127
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: flashbacks from the night of Guthmunder's disappearance echoed throughout her mind.

128
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: She'd given the detectives what they wanted, making up the

129
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: first version that seemed to make sense, But now when

130
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: she thought hard about it, with so many versions of

131
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: the story in her mind, she was no longer quite

132
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: sure what she had made up and what she hadn't.

133
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: At least, she thought all they had was a story

134
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: without a body or any other evidence, surely they would

135
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: have no choice but to let Civar go. For a start,

136
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: with their apartment block being as small as it was,

137
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: there was no way a fight could have broken out

138
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: that night without the neighbors having heard it. But the

139
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: police never spoke to the neighbors to find out. Instead,

140
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: armed with what they believed to be two solid confessions

141
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: born Hoskuldson's team moved fast. Within days had Christian, Triggvie,

142
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: and Albert all under arrest and placed in solitary confinement.

143
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Twenty year old Christian, who was brought over from another

144
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: prison where he was already serving time for theft. He'd

145
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: known good munder back from when they were both at

146
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: school together, but as he repeatedly insisted to the frustrated

147
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: police officers, contrary to Ertler and Cyvar's statement, he had

148
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: nothing to do with his disappearance. After hours of interrogation,

149
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: he remained resolute, eventually refusing to answer any more questions

150
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: without a lawyer present in response, while Scoldson presented Earler

151
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: and Cyvar's signed statements to the nation's High Court and

152
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: successfully argued to have Christian remanded in solitary confinement for

153
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: another ninety days. Next up was twenty four year old

154
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: triggvi Like Civar and Christian, Triggvie had been in and

155
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: out to prison for various petty crimes and was well

156
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: versed in the mechanations of the law. Like Christian, he

157
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: too maintained that he hadn't been at Urdin's flat on

158
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: the night in question. He too was remanded in custody

159
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: and placed in solitary confinement for a minimum of ninety days,

160
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: in the hope that he might better remember the events

161
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: of that night. Albert was the last to be picked up.

162
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: He was different from the others, having come from a

163
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: more academic background, his father being a member of the

164
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: Icelandic Symphony Orchestra. A big weed smoker, Albert had been

165
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: smoking for some time when the police arrived at his

166
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: apartment to arrest him. Unused to interrogation procedures and with

167
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: no lawyer present, it wasn't long before the insistent investigators

168
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: began to get under his skin as they pressed harder

169
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: and harder, telling him how they knew he was involved

170
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: and what he'd done that night, making it very clear

171
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: how much trouble he was in and how much worse

172
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: it might get should he not comply. Finally, Albert began

173
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: to talk, confirming Civar's statement that he'd received his call

174
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: late that night. He recounted how he pulled up to

175
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Saivar and Erdler's apartment in his dad's yellow Toyota and

176
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: sat in the dim sodium glow of a nearby streetlight,

177
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: watching through the rear view mirror as Civar, Christian and

178
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: Trygvey placed something heavy in the boot of his car.

179
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: They then ordered him to drive out to the lava fields,

180
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: where he assumed they dumped the body. Thirty minutes later,

181
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: Albert was driven out to the Raikivik Peninsula and to

182
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: the lava fields just south of Half Naftyuda in the

183
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: hope that he might be able to recollect exactly where

184
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: they'd stopped that night. However, forty five minutes Albert had

185
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: seen nothing that he recognized. He was taken immediately back

186
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: to Siddamuli Prison and remanded in custody for another forty

187
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: five days. At night, alone in their cells, it was

188
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: a constant battle to get to sleep, as each endless

189
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: minute dissolved into the next with the sound of distant

190
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: waves crashing against rocks. On the shoreline their only sense

191
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: of the outside world. All notions of reality were fast

192
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: becoming unstable. Perhaps they really had been there, they thought,

193
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: suddenly confronted with the uncertainty of their own paths. But no,

194
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: they would keep telling themselves they knew they hadn't done it. Angered,

195
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: scared and confused, most of them would go days without

196
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: any rest at all, sometimes being kept up deliberately by

197
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: the guards under instruction to keep them on their toes.

198
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Some nights, voices could be heard coming from the cells

199
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: as the prisoners talk to themselves, and all were given

200
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: numerous drugs to help calm them down. As nineteen seventy

201
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: six dawned, though they had some fairly incriminating statements, Ornhoskoldsen's

202
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: team were yet to find any concrete evidence linking any

203
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: of their suspects to Gudmunda's murder, and as each suspect

204
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: was confronted and reconfronted with each other's supposed version of events,

205
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: soon the accounts of what actually took place that night

206
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: began to morph and mutate. A new account by Ciba

207
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: had him as an innocent bystander caught up in Christian

208
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: and triggvi's nefarious schemes, with Christian delivering the fatal blow

209
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: to Gudmunda and Albert later arriving in a Volkswagen not

210
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: at Toyota. When told this new account by investigators, Christian

211
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: finally appeared to crack, telling the officers he had been

212
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: there after, but in fact it was him who was

213
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: the innocent bystander, too stoned out of his mind to

214
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: have done anything with Civar and trigg V killing Guthmunda

215
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: in a vicious fight. After twenty two hours of questioning,

216
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: trig V two appeared to crack, only in his version

217
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: it was Christian and Civar who'd beaten Guthmunda to death,

218
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: though he had no recollection of where exactly it had

219
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: taken place. Are you always taking care of your family?

220
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: Do you often take care of others and not yourself?

221
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: Now it's time to take care of yourself, to make

Speaker 1: slash Unexplained Podcast. Back at Earthless Mother's house, Earthler was

236
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: puzzled as to why Civar and his friends had not

237
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: yet been released. A few days later, detective Sigibu and

238
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: Eggerson called at the property to let her know that

239
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: she had nothing more to worry about. The others had

240
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: confessed to the murder. Urgler sat dumfounded for a moment,

241
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: trying to take it in. So it hadn't been a

242
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: dream after all. She thought they really had been there,

243
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: but Urgler was at a loss to explain it. Over

244
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: the next few weeks, Detective Eggutson would make a number

245
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: of visits to Ergler's mother's house to check up on Urdler, who,

246
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: with Civar in custody and few friends to call on,

247
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: was thankful for his support. At one point, Ergler asked

248
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: if Eggutsson would escort her to get some clothes from

249
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: her apartment in Hanaf Judah, the place having been sealed

250
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: off as a crime scene ever since her arrest. Eggertsson

251
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: was happy to oblige and offered to take her there

252
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: himself while she gathered what she needed. Eggertson surprised her

253
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: with an unexpected question. Had she ever heard of geffener Inesen,

254
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: he asked, the man who disappeared mysteriously back in November

255
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: of the previous year, Yes, she said, Like many people,

256
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: she'd watched the reports about it on the news. Then

257
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: Eggittson asked her, was there any chance that Cyvar had

258
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: something to do with his disappearance? Taken aback, Burgler thought

259
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: for a moment, trying to remember that night that she

260
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: and Cyber had heard about it on the news, and

261
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: how blase he'd seemed about it. The question seemed innocent enough,

262
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: and Eggertson had been so kind to her that she

263
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: thought it at least worth, mentioning what Cyva had said

264
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: that night, that Geffener had obviously said something out of

265
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: line and be murdered for it. Later, when Detective Eggertson

266
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: dropped her back at her mother's, Urdler insisted that Cyva

267
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: hadn't meant anything by the comment and asked if they

268
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: could keep it between the two of them as friends.

269
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: The next day, there was a knock at the door.

270
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: Urdler opened it to find Detective Eggittson standing there next

271
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: to another man she recognized all too well, Investigative Magistrate

272
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: Orn Hoskoldsen. Referring to what Urtler had told Eggotson only

273
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: the day before, Hoskoldsen explained that he had reason to

274
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: believe that she had experienced another trauma regarding Geffner Einesen,

275
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: and once again he wanted to help her to remember.

276
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, Orn Hooskoldsen's team had come to regard

277
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: Civar as the focal point of their investigation. Head of

278
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: Customs Christian Petersen, who'd long had his own suspicions about him,

279
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: had also been pushing his theories about Civar. It was

280
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: his belief that Geffner Einesen's disappearance had in some way

281
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: been connected to an alcohol smuggling ring that he had

282
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: reason to believe Civar might have been involved with. Two

283
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: Petersen had also been running checks on any individuals who

284
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: left the country around the time of Geffner's disappearance. It

285
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: just so happened that only days after Geffenner was last

286
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: seen at the Harbor Cafe in Kevlovich, Cyvar and Erler

287
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: fled to Denmark. In late January nineteen seventy six, a

288
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: wholly disorientated Cyvar was pulled out a solitary confinement and

289
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: asked if he knew Geffenner Einesen like everyone else. He

290
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: explained he'd heard about him on the news, but nothing more.

291
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: Then Hoskoldsen slipped a piece of paper in front of him.

292
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: It seemed innocuous at first, a story from Erdler recounting

293
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: how her half brother Einar had orchestrated a pyramid scheme

294
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: that resulted in him and his friends receiving numerous free

295
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: bottles of whisky to the police. However, it was a

296
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: vital thread. Einar a friend of Voldemir Olsen's brother of

297
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Erla's friend Holder, who was in turn a friend of

298
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: Magnus Leah Poldsen, the manager of Klubrin nightclub in Reikyovik,

299
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: the man who some police suspected of making the corps

300
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: that had summoned Geffner Esen to the Harbor Cafe and

301
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: Kevlovich before he disappeared. Ainah had always been suspicious and

302
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: dismissive of Civar. At one point early in his and

303
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Erdler's relationship, Einah had even convinced his father to sell

304
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: his apartment in half Nafjorda, where Erdler lived, in an

305
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: attempt to disrupt the relationship. So when Herskoldson presented Civar

306
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: with this new story, he saw an opportunity to get

307
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: his revenge. He had been with geffenner Essen that night

308
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: he disappeared, after all, he told the police, and Aina

309
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: had been there too that afternoon. He went on to

310
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: recount how on the night of Geffner's disappearance, Aina Bolason,

311
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: Magnus Leopoldsen and Voldemir Olsen had picked him up from

312
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: his mother's house and taken him to Kevlevik, where soon

313
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: after they met up with Geffner. While Magnus and Voldemar

314
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: accompanied Geffner out onto the water to retrieve a shipment

315
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: of alcohol. Einer and Civar were told to wait for them.

316
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: After driving round Kevlevik for an hour, they returned to

317
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: the harbor to find only Magnus and Voldemar waiting for them.

318
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Looking distressed, Geffner had somehow fallen overboard and drowned. Oskoldsen

319
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: ordered the officers to bring Urtler back in for questioning immediately.

320
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: At first, she insisted she had no knowledge of where

321
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: Civar had apparently been that night, But slowly she began

322
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: to open up to the officers, and soon the story

323
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: was morphing again. Yes, Civa had been there, she said,

324
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: but so had she. In fact, it was her who'd

325
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: accompanied Cyvar and Magnus Leopoldsen to Kevlevich, not Einar and Voldemar,

326
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: and christ Jan had been there too, waiting at the

327
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: harbor when they arrived, alongside Aina and Geffena. The last

328
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: thing she remembered was seeing a fight break out and

329
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: running away, scared to hide in a derelict building nearby.

330
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: Next christ Jan was pulled out a solitary and told

331
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: to explain his whereabouts that night. So Weary and scrambled

332
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: by sleeping pills and anxiety suppressants, he was barely able

333
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: to string a sentence together. However, despite first denying any involvement,

334
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: by the end of the interview, Christian had placed himself

335
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: at the scene with a vague account of large boats

336
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: silhouetted in a dimly lit dock and the cases of

337
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: people that may or may not have been there. Irritated

338
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: by his incomprehensible statement, the police sent him back to

339
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: his cell to think a little harder about that night

340
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: and turned their attentions to Einar Magnus and Voldemar. Thankfully,

341
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: for Triggviy, he had a cast iron alibi for the

342
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: knight of Geffenner's disappearance, and so for the next few

343
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: months was more or less forgotten about, left to stew

344
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: alone in his cell while hos Gooldsen's team concentrated on

345
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: the Geffener case. Sadly, for them, despite the apparent witness

346
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: statements from Earler, Saivar and Christian, neither Eina Magnus of

347
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: Voldemar were so easily swayed. Each denied emphatically that they'd

348
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: been anywhere near Kevlevik harbor on the night in question.

349
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: Much less were involved in Geffener's disappearance. All had strong

350
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: alibis too, Regardless, Thus Goldson's team once again convinced the

351
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: courts to keep them in custody and were all duly

352
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: placed in solitary confinement. Since the turn of the new year,

353
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: news of the investigation had been steadily drip fed to

354
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: the media, and by March the nation was gripped. For

355
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: a country not used to reading about violent crimes on

356
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: its own doorstep, the fact that good Munder's and Geffener's

357
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: disappearances might not only be the result of murder but

358
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: could also be linked was especially thrilling. That a small

359
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: group of what were effectively kids might be involved was

360
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: all the more titillating. Focus inevitably turned to Urdler and

361
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: Civar's relationship, with many reporters keen to portray Saivar as

362
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: Iceland's own version of Charles Manson, with Erdler his ever

363
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: faithful disciple. In March, born Hos Goodsen held a press

364
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: conference detailing his team's latest findings. Civar, Christian Tryg v

365
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Albert Einar Magnus Voldemar, and Erdler were all implicated in

366
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: the supposed murder of either Guthmunda or Gefferson, and in

367
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: some cases both. Over the next few months, the police,

368
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: having begun to suspect that Geffener's body had also been

369
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: dumped somewhere in the lava fields, scoured every inch of

370
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: the area for any sign of that or Guthmunder's body,

371
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: but found nothing, nor did they find anything in Erdler

372
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: and Civar's flat to incriminate any of the suspects. Becoming

373
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: increasingly desperate, they continued to bring each of the suspects

374
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: out to the apparent scene of the crime in the

375
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: hope of jogging their memory as to where the bodies were.

376
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Christian was even made to re enact a possible version

377
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: of Geffener's murder, but none of it brought any real

378
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: evidence to light. In May, Ertler was brought back in

379
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: for questioning, and by the following day her story had

380
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: changed again. Not only had she seen Geffera killed, but

381
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: it was her that had killed him, shooting him with

382
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: the rifle that Civer had handed to her on the night.

383
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: A few days later, with the combination of good legal

384
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: representation and their solid alibis, the police were forced to

385
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: let Einar, Voldemar and Magnus go. Each had been kept

386
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: for a hundred and five days in solitary confinement, with

387
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: not one shred of evidence connecting them to either Guthmunda

388
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: or Gefferson's disappearance. Not one of them would fully recover

389
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: from the ordeal, with many thanks to the reports and

390
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: the press continuing to suspect that perhaps they had been

391
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: involved after all. Now without a driver for the narrative

392
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: of how Civar, Ler and Christian had met Geffener at

393
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: Keflevik Harbor, the police swiftly arrested Civar's old drug smuggling companion,

394
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: Gujean Skephardinson, kept under similar circumstances to the other suspects,

395
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Gudjohn would too, eventually confess to assisting in the murder

396
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: of Geffner Einesen. Throughout the summer of nineteen seventy seven,

397
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: all suspects were brought before the High Court to give

398
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: their testimonies regarding Guthmunder and Gefferson's apparent murders in December,

399
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: despite not having a single piece of evidence to support it,

400
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: save for the various and conflicting confessions, all of which

401
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: each defendant would retract at one point or another. The

402
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: High Court of Iceland found Civar Christian trygv Gujon, Albert

403
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: and Erdler all guilty for being involved in the murder

404
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: of Guthmunder een and Geffenner Einesen, having both spent over

405
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty days in solitary confinement. Chris Jane

406
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: and Triggvie were sentenced to sixteen and thirteen years, respectively. Gudjohn,

407
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: having eventually been kept for four hundred and twelve days

408
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: in solitary confinement, was sentenced to twelve years. Albert Scafteson

409
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: was given only twelve months, since it was decided that

410
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: he'd only helped to barry Guthmunder's body. For her part, Earthler,

411
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: having spent two hundred and forty one days in solitary

412
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: confinement being questioned over a hundred times, was sentenced to

413
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: three years for perverting the course of justice. Siva Sizelski,

414
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: the perceived ringleader of the group, would spend almost seven

415
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty days in solitary confinement and was sentenced

416
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: to seventeen years in prison. Having been young when they

417
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: were convicted or suspect served out their sentences and did

418
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: their best to rejoin society afterwards, and or claimed that

419
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: they had been completely innocent of the crimes. On his release,

420
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: Civar began a very public campaign to have their convictions quashed,

421
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: claiming that they'd all been coerced, in many cases violently

422
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: into confessing. In nineteen ninety seven, the High Court decided

423
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: against reopening the case, claiming there was no new evidence

424
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: to do so. However, many including then Prime Minister David Odson,

425
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: believed grave mistakes had been made and there was good

426
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: reason to believe the convictions had been unsound. In two

427
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, Trygvey died of cancer. He is said

428
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: to have protested his innocence even on his deathbed. The

429
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: case was once more in the public eye. By then, Civar,

430
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: who despite everything that had happened to him, had retained

431
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: much of the charm and charisma of his younger self,

432
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: had become something of a minor celebrity. However, the years

433
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: of battling for justice had taken their toll. Civar would

434
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: eventually find himself homeless and heavily dependent on alcohol in

435
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven, By then living in Copenhagen, he

436
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: fell from a tree that he'd been camping in and

437
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: died from his injuries, With his death prompting a renewed

438
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: interest in the case. Along with the growing body of

439
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: evidence to support the reality of false confessions, the state

440
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: prosecutor finally began a formal investigation into the convictions. In

441
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: two and eighteen, Siva Sizelski, Chris Jan Vedersen, Trig v Leifson,

442
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Albert Scarfteson, and Gudjohn Scarfettensen were finally acquitted and their

443
00:31:54,440 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: convictions quashed. Urtler Voladattier's conviction, however, was not reversed. Today,

444
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: Ertler remains convinced of her and the other's innocence, although

445
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: admits to no longer being able to distinguish her real

446
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: memories from those that had inadvertently been planted by poor

447
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: interrogation techniques. The whereabouts and fate of gudmunda Ininesen and

448
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: Geffener Ineson remained to this day unexplained unexplained. The book
