Murder on the Mountain: Who Was the Mysterious Isdal Woman?

In Norway near the city of Bergen, there is a mountainous and impassable valley called Isdalen. One morning around the end of November in the year 1970, a man is out for a stroll in the rugged terrain with his two young daughters. While they enjoy the fresh air, they likely have little idea that they’re about to make a discovery, which will propel the valley to international infamy for years to come - as they make their way down the path, they suddenly find themselves upon the charred remains of a woman located among some scree. The father and his children quickly race to alert the authorities, but as the investigation eventually concludes, the cops rule it a likely suicide - however, the mysterious nature of the crime scene would encourage massive speculation over the next couple of deceades, and today it remains one of the most profound cold cases in Norway.
