    9: The Murder in the Woods (Part 2)
    May 18 2023
    Part 2 in our 2-part exploration of the grisly crime that shook a community. In the previous episode we heard how on a summer evening in 1981, in a small Danish village in the northern part of Jutland, a 16-year-old girl went missing. Four days later, she was found in a nearby forest, hanged by a rope tied to a tree. Her body was partially covered by branches and sticks. So far, there are no clues that could indicate a potential suspect or motive. The police are still looking for the murderer, and begin to make a series of discoveries.

  • 6: The Ring of Counterfeiters

    6: The Ring of Counterfeiters
    Apr 27 2023
    The story of one of the most serious cases of counterfeit money production ever seen in Denmark. The counterfeit American currency was worth about 200 million kroner - roughly 24 million pounds. A small gang of three people, with the help of a fourth partner working at a distance, managed to print a huge amount of dollars that looked so similar to the original notes that even American special agents were impressed by the quality. This case also involved international drug trafficking, a Danish sailing boat transporting millions, and a Swedish paper mill that delivered the paper to the gang, which was used to print counterfeit dollars to buy heroin in Thailand for importing back to Europe.

    5: The King of the Rockers
    Apr 20 2023
    In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Copenhagen, and many other towns of Denmark’s Zealand island, are caught in midst of violence and tensions caused by the War of the Rockers. In Denmark, the term ‘Rocker’ is commonly used to describe people who belonged to the lawless biker sub-cultures of the time. Niels is a part of that culture. Known as ‘the King of the Rockers’, Niels lives on a farm along with his two lovers. The things that happen behind the high walls and the barbed-wire fence of that farm are so terrible they are difficult to imagine, and hidden from public view. But after a man is killed in the Rocker’s fortress, intricate details of what has been going on there spill out to the public.

    4: The Gamma Bomber (Part 2)
    Apr 13 2023
    Part 2 in our 2-part exploration of the infamous Gladsaxe bombings. We previously heard about a mysterious series of pipe bombings in the Copenhagen area in the late 1970s. The identity of the bomber was a mystery. Telephone booths were his first targets. Miraculously, no one died. Usually, the perpetrator would leave a letter to be found near the bomb scene. But the police couldn’t ascertain any clues from these letters. Suddenly, the bomber changed tactics and stopped targeting phone booths. The next bomb was found at a sandpit near a school, putting innocent young children in danger. How long would these incidents go on for, before someone would be killed?

These bombs fill the everyday life of Copenhagen’s residents with fear, leading everyone to ask themselves the same questions: Who is this terrifying bomber? Are they working alone, or are more people responsible for the explosions? Is this the work of one troubled person or a terrorist organisation? What is the motive behind the explosions?
