There should be no statute of limitations for murder. That's ridiculous.
Agree 100% why is there a statute of limitation on murder. It’s ridiculous.
Agreed
If you actually believe that there is "justice" in putting a 70+ year old person in prison for a murder that happened 40+ years ago, then I sincerely suggest that you are badly in need of professional psychiatric services.
And after all these years of 'society' we still haven't addressed this issue ... sad hey
@joekulik999 Even at 100, Kissinger should've been tried for his war crimes in Vietnam.
Different countries, different judicial systems, of course but I will never understand why there is a statute of limitations in murders, rapes, life altering attacks and things of that nature. Financial crime and so on, fair enough, but these other type of crimes, boggles my mind.
there is not a statute of limitations on murder.
@@philipwilliams7947 no not anymore. But untill 2010 (as I recall) there was in Sweden. So since this case happened prior, if it would be proved today that Alvar was murdered, it would mean nothing today regarding the person being punished.
@@kirstineschiemann3774 ah, could be. in united states it has never had a statute of limitations.
@@philipwilliams7947 nor here in Denmark where I live or at least not in my lifetime. But yeah, it is still like that in ie Japan and it was in Sweden too untill not that long ago.
@@kirstineschiemann3774 ah nice! i visited Arhus once back in 1995 i think it was. Nice place!
I live in Småland. Every once in a while, rabbits and other burrowing animals kick up human remains. This happened out at my work place a coupleof years ago. Because many of the towns, while not big, have very long histories, there are not only old Viking burials, but deconsecrated graveyards, and as in the case at my work place, an old execution grounds where the condemned were buried under only a couple of feet under the earth where they had fallen. Sometimes people who wandered off from dementia are found after two or three years. The vgetation and terrain makes it hard to make sure a search has found everything.
This poor child had either died or was killed, and badgers and foxes scattered what was left. The skulls are often the most visible human remains. You don´t have to go far into the woods to be lost, I´ve helped search for a missing person here before. I hope his family was able to find some type of peace.
I agree, I think animals have moved his remains. I wonder if he couldn't just have drowned, but if people visited the island regularly, he would have probably been found long before
Does the lake get ice cover in winter? If not I don’t get it how Alvar’s skull could be discovered on that island🧐
@@annem6714 Most likely it was frozen.
The hole in the skull is the cause of death. This is the correct assumption. Not naturally occurring damage.
That poor boy.
It always makes me feel so sad when a child is missing then found murdered the poor boy, he will have got justice in the next life. Thank you, DC, 💜
You don't know that.
The video clearly stated that the investigators now believe he wasn't met with foul play... The kid probably got attacked by a bear or fell climbing a tree or something... Unfortunately accidents happen and if nobody is around to provide help or go get help then it could end in tragedy
@@slicedbread5692 but still, how did he get to another island 4 miles away, especially when he couldn't swim? V unsatisfying not knowing, esp for the family.
How very sad. They only found his skull? Nothing else when they searched? Here in the U.S. we don't have a statute of limitations for murder. It always surprises me that other countries do. RIP young Alvar.
We dont. (Here in sweden). However...if the killer was under the age of 18 when he/she killed, the person will not be pursecuted.
@@buteverythinghurts Here we do prosecute minors, but if found guilty, the sentences are much lighter and lenient than adults.
I don't know much about Sweden, but it sounds like this island town is very much in the wilderness. It's almost guaranteed they have some kind of large predators out there. Bears, wolves, some kind of wild cats, or wild boar could all easily have come across his remains and eaten him or dragged them back to their den. A lot of times wild animals leave the skull just because there isn't meat there and so there's not much to gain by fussing with it..
@@margeebechyne8642 Are you talking bout the US? We’re the only country with JLWOP. Kids can get sent to jail for life for doing less than adult criminals.
@@slicedbread5692 that is an interesting idea! It would explain a lot.
This is the 3rd time I am hearing "the statute of limitations had run out on MURDER"!! WHY?? There should not be such a limit on Murder!!
I visited the grave of Alvar’s parents. I read somewhere that Alvar’s skull is buried in his parents’ grave as well. The lake and the surrounding area are very beautiful in summertime.
Strange his skull was only found and in a remote location like that, poor lad 🙏
RIP Alvar. That island is beautiful.
Alvar
Anyone bragging about murdering a young boy is certainly disturbing. I don't see how his wedding anniversary or the fact that he had been working the night before could mean he didn't do it. Poor kid.
However, that story was here-say. It is more likely that a family member killed him. It's hard to imagine a mother covering up a murder perpetrated by her husband, but it happens. And she could have been very afraid as her partner was a killer.
I think she meant he was doing certain things (hence had an alibi) because it was his anniversary - and his work commitments meant he wouldn't have had time to go there and back.
Again, we don't know if he had claimed about killing a boy. That's just what his sister reported.
Rip 🙏😢
Someone SAID he claimed to kill a boy.
#believeallwomen
Quit being bigoted and accusing her lying, you misogynist fuck
How do you grow up on an island and not be able to swim? We're taught at school. It's mandatory. Poor boy.
It's only an island if you look at it from the water. - Chief Brody
Alvar’s homestead was not on an island. There was a large lake near home.
This hurts my ❤
What upsets me is a 13 year old leaving home for a walk, and somehow he ends up dead on a deserted island, miles away from home. Where is the rest of his body? And I feel that it wasn't a stranger who did it.
Family secrets usually come to light at some point in the future. With such a close-knit town, I'm sure someone knows what happened and perhaps just wanted the issue forgotten. His mother's story about her 13-year-old getting up, eating a small snack, and asking to go for a walk does not add up. Today, an outside law enforcement unit that would not have given his family such leniency would have been called. Still, sad that a life was cut short with no explanation.
It seems that if any foul play had indeed occurred, I would suspect someone in that community. With it being so difficult for an outsider to move around undetected or unnoticed only serves to strengthen this belief. As for the accidental death on another island, someone's boat would have to go missing. I doubt a young boy could have rowed four miles all by himself, and someone else would have had to row the same boat back so that it would not be noticed that it was missing.
This one is stranger than fiction. Well told…
Thanks!
I don't believe he did go out for his walk that morning, more likely he was already dead as a result of domestic violence and the family were covering it up. Bear in mind what a closeknit community they lived in and how implausible his disappearence seemed in any case.
Perhaps the timing was just good fortune, or perhaps Sunday was used because the islanders would be preoccupied with Sunday routines and going to church, hence it would be easier to fabricate a story apparently taking place during that timeframe.
The only theory that makes sense is that a family member did this. Most probably his father. The scull appeared a couple years after the father passed away could be the person no longer feared placing the scull where it could be found. Sad story. ❤
No mention of the father's whereabouts during that time. Would be useful to know if he had been around the house all morning or not.
😢😢😢😢
@@consciousobserver629 no. Only that he had gotten into a fight with Alvar just a few nights before the disappearance. How sad.
The _only_ theory that makes sense? I'm sceptical about that. He may have just fallen in the water and washed up on the other island.
Why just the skull not the whole body
What a sad story. That poor young man. Also, how tragic for his family members who had to live under that suspicion while never learning the truth.
How very sad. It's painful to see his cute little face knowing that he died soon after. 💔
I love your channel.
Tragic 😢
Idk why but I think someone in the family did it. Thank you for your report :)
Thanks for this case. Very interesting.
What a strange tale! Such a small place, and we really know so little about howo his family treated him, especially if his brother and father might be involved and his mother may have covered the crime up. There's nothing saying what kind of child he was, any problems, friends etc.
Your channel is great, your uploads are consistent and of great quality. Also you’re a fellow Scot 🏴
I love your videos but they're so quiet!
This sounded interesting, good to be so early. Wow what a story!
The island is approximately 32,000 kilometers square & ONLY has a population of 710,000 people? And everyone knows everyone? Corrections might be needed with regards to the population?
Alvar Larsson was a Swedish boy who disappeared on 16 April 1967. Alvar and his family lived at a farm called Sundslätt at the southeast part of the island Sirkö in Åsnen, one of the largest lakes in Småland. He left his house on a Sunday morning to take a walk and bring in some wood, leaving no traces behind. In 1982, more than fifteen years after the disappearance, his cranium was found on a small island 6 km away. The disappearance attracted a lot of media coverage at the time and many theories as to what happened have been put forward. Thomas Quick has confessed to the crime, but has recanted all his confessions.
I suspect he fell in the water and his body washed up on the other island.
In November 1982, three hunters had rowed to Harö, a small island, to train their dogs. In a bay they found a human skull. Realizing the teeth had modern fillings and thus could not be an archeological finding, the men contacted the police. The police immediately assumed the skull belonged to Alvar and using his dental record, this theory was confirmed. The island was searched thoroughly but the only other finding was two row boats whose owners soon contacted the police and it was concluded Alvar could not have used either of the boats to get to the island.
Although there was a big hole in the back of the skull, experts could not determine whether the damage was from a fatal blow or had been caused by weathering during the years since the boy's death. The skull of Alvar has since been buried alongside of the boy's father and any crime involved with the disappearance has been barred under the statute of limitations.
Rest In Peace beloved one May your family and friends find healing and peace blessings be
This is a great channel. Well done.
Besides the amazing content, I must say that I LOVE your accent and voice, there's something so endearing about it, thank you for the video!
God bless and keep him near
Unfortunately this case is colder than ice.Someone killed the boy and took the body to a remote island.Perhaps the murder was unintentional.A woman who said that a man bragged about killing a child could settle personal scores with him.
I don’t see how his death could have been an accident when his body was found in a place he could not have gotten to easily.
I suspect he fell in the water and his body washed up on the other island.
I agree with Eb. The rest of his body is at the bottom of the sea and just his head washed up to shore on the other island.
It was just his head and his body wasn't found so yea its no accident they removed his head when they killed him and put it on that island.
@@eadweard. His head wouldn't fall off his body if he just drowned.
@@akiraasmr3002 The skull was found 15 years after he disappeared.
Interesting.
Thank you
Peace 💕🇺🇲
While these are dark matters... the darkness always matters
These cold cases always baffle me 😲😲
Wow, your uploaded 1 video everyday at the rate.
I so much hope that with advances in DNA and other techniques, authorities will take a long look at limits on prosecuting crimes!
There's no reason to think this was a crime.
How's are they going to find DNA from another person on just his skull
veeeery sad. who ever did murder this boy may get the punishment he/she deserves. as brutal, mentally and physically, as this crime was !
Ah brilliant! This channel is my “ listen while in the shower” channel! Off to the shower I go 😁
Poor young Alvar. There’s a statute of limitations for killing in Sweden? A shame. RIP Alvar.
I felt the same. There’s a few crimes that I feel shouldn’t have statutes of limitations and murder is definitely one of them.
@Mark Morales. Definitely murder. Child r_pe is another one for me.
It's wrong I agree
There used to be a statue of limitation for murder in Sweden, but not any longer. The law was changed during July 2010.
❤❤❤
That poor child...but i feel even more sorry for his mother. I cannot imagine your child being gone, missing, and you never have any closure. Your heart and soul is forever 💔 broke. And for WHAT!? SWEDEN GET YOUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM TOGETHER. A STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON CHILD MURDER 😮 😡 NO WAY!
I think it's strange that a 13 yr old boy would tell his mother he was going to go for a walk? That's the best reason they could give? I think something happened in that house and I bet the police didn't even think to look for evidence there.
how does anyone justify a statute of limitations on murder? especially child murder?
If what that woman said about her relative is true why didn't she report what he said to her at the time she sounded so casual about it i mean if something had told me that information i would definitely inform someone relation or no relation
My limited ability to place where these islands are in Sweden could poke a hole on my thoughts but it surprised me that cars and local bosts were checked but nobody checked other boats not belongong to the Islanders that were seen in the area earlier. Just the skull appearing would suggest that he was out in the water or at best, a shallow grave that the animals could dig up. I believe he knew his kilker but I'm not convinced that it was a family member. Nobody has said if be had friends outside of the island either. The one thing I'm sure of is that he had a watery grave, something that he may have feared.
I hope Alvar is at rest and his killer is known before long, even if they can't stand trial which is ridiculous. If you kill somebody orher than in war, then you must pay for the life you took!
Poor boy... 🙁
We will probably never know what happened to him.
So tragic 😥 poor young lady he hadn't even begun to live life, if it was his father or brother I don't know why or how they could do something like that. 😢
Alvar’s home was actually not on an island. But there is water everywhere near Alvar’s home farm and he had access to a boat although it’s not credible that he would’ve taken a boat anyway. I’m leaning towards his family or one family member as his killer.
Seems to me he was kidnapped , taken advantage of then shot in the head , this breaks my heart I know he was so scared like I would be
Irrational theory, especially the "taken advantage of" part, which is entirely a product of your imagination.
@Ayn Rand Is Dead Favouring an unnecessarily complicated theory to a much simpler one is irrational - regardless of whether it (the complex theory) "happens all the time".
@@eadweard. you seem like some bitter mean dude living in a basement with limited intellect , I hope you heal
@@SylisDaCheesCakeGoat I am not interested in appearing sweet and cuddly. I am only interested in the truth about this case.
@Ayn Rand Is Dead There is a much simpler theory that accounts for all the evidence. In light of that, it is irrational to favour more complex ones.
MURDER has a STATUTE OF LIMITATION in Sweden???? That's... mad.
So sad
Poor boy
Forgot if you mentioned it, but did his family have their own boat? Would be interesting to know.
I’m struggling to justify his skull on another island not leaning towards foul play. If his parents were telling the truth, he had no reason to leave the island. If they were lying, foul play seems a given. If the immediate investigation didn’t implicate his family, I’m inclined to believe the best about them. I’m more inclined to believe a neighbor or older relative was responsible for the disappearance. A small boat remotely moored or docked could be used, and returned before the alarm was raised. The culpable party could then tell authorities that their boat didn’t appear disturbed. I’d be curious who sold a boat in the 3-6 months following his disappearance
Surly if this boy ran away he would have taken some of his things with him?
Strange the woman coming forward with a story about the grave which appears to be completely false??
Just takes one person not telling the truth?
They have a statute of limitations on murder???
There's a statut of limitations on murder there?
his family..... the biggest suspects
Cld have been _anyone_ on that island. Feel sorry for the his dad n brother if they're innocent, what an accusation. Sad story.
I must've missed the mention of the brother's police interview.
An animal, like a bear or a wolf, could have killed him and carried the body in its jaws while it swam to another island. Or he could have died of natural causes, like a fall or drowning, and similarly had his body carried away by an animal to the island where the skull was found.
Why introduce an animal? The sea can wash bodies away on its own.
This kid was buddy buddy with an unknown older male. Took a “walk” to meet. He was hanging around possibly finding a common interest. I believe the boy thwarted a possible relationship attempt and he was killed to cover it up. Body was brought to the island at a later date! He didn’t run away! Who asks for permission to go for a walk to run away???
Not to nitpick, but Småland is pronounced like you would say small-land (almost anyway). The letter "å" is a narrow "o". The "a" in land is an open "a" like in GAndhi.
Å is practically O. Never mind the fine tuning.
Oh deer. When I c your logo

Sadly the investigation was messed up because they only thought of an outsider taking him. When no one could point to an outsider's car they didn't know what to think. Maybe it was someone from the Island. He could have seen something he shouldn't or someone could have hit him with a vehicle and they drove his body away. They only found the skull so they don't have all the information. So sad.
Can't believe they ultimately said it was accidental!? That makes no sense at all. A deserted island 4 miles from his home, so he would have to have gotten there by boat. Who's? Nobody reported one missing. Aaand the boat went where? It should've still been there. Also just his skull? Even with animals scavenging they leave bones scattered around the area. That ruling is an insult to both him and his loved ones
By boat? No. If he fell in the water then his body could have washed up on the other island.
@@eadweard. His head would not fall off his body then crawl on land to rot lol.
@@akiraasmr3002 In any event, no boat was required.
@@akiraasmr3002but after 15 years a skull can become separated from a body and end up on an island somewhere.
@@maddieb.4282 How do you explain the hole in the head
At 3:20 they're always looking in the same place. He's not there.
Drowned and washed up then scattered by animals??
Aren't there Elves and Drawfs on the island? I know there's a lot of them in Iceland!
Why did they kill Aywar
......one of the community members has killed him........kept that body stashed away......carted the body off the populated island DURING THE NIGHT AT SOME LATER DATE........to the unpopulated island......not difficult to work out...... 11:43
He resembles Agnes Moorhead
Polar bear???
I figure he was most likely killed by a neighbor, someone that no one would have suspected. Neighbor hid the body for a while and then disposed of it here and there.
we have no proof that Alvar really left the house that cursed day. he could have died in the house or if he really walked out the possibilities are many. an accident......a murder.......a hunting accident. there are no elements to prefer any of the various possibilities..... we will never know what happened to that poor boy
Do you really know your neighbors ??
RIP Alvar, safe in the arms of Jesus.
I think it is foul play I mean if only his skull was found on that island where was his body? Someone killed him took his head off and put it on the island and buried his body somewhere else maybe its on the island buried deep somewhere.
He fell into the water , body decomposed , skull washes up on the island and gets moved by an animal.
I don’t know why but I feel like it was probably a local who had some type of underground dungeon
What colour were the walls of this dungeon, do you imagine?
probably just wood, some type of make shift underground spot. Because if no abnormal cars or people were in the area then that’s probably because it was someone local who did it.
The narration here of this story is very contradictory. All through video you keep saying how small this island is, so small that everyone literally knows everyone else. Yet at the beginning you seem to say that this island covers 32K sq km which turns out to be more than 2X the area of the whole American State of Connecticut. And to suggest that a city of 700K people is a place where someone would immediately notice a strange car appearing is laughable. Furthermore, the photo of this island that you feature at the beginning shows SO Many homes and boats that I couldn't even count them all. Are you mistakenly talking about 2 different places ???
I certainly don't expect you to learn to pronounce Swedish just for the occasional video, but it would help if you put the names in the description so people can read them.
You know you can simply google the case based on the name in the title, yes?
@@maddieb.4282 Yes, and I could google the facts as well, and then write my own script and narrate it myself. But I'm not making a documentary, I'm listening to one.
Ive tried several times to watch ur channel, hut, find ur voice disturbingly creepy.
I think she got a brilliant voice
😘😘😘 Because you use the phrase all the time, you need get comfortable using the word "missing." You can't be reported AS missing. You can either be "reported TO BE missing," or simply "reported missing."
Wow. Do you get called annoying a lot?
did you know the pesky algorithm uses community interaction?
why not help the channel by leaving comments, replies and or likes to both?
Great idea !
Wonderful . Lets make it happen
