I like the game Clue!
Dark Curiosities A topic request(pardon me for dropping it here): in 2005 a Swedish woman working in Scotland was found dead in Prestwick bay-the day after she was supposed to have boarded a flight to Sweden for christmas. The case is very strange in detail and was ruled suicide/accident-her family is not allowed to see the investigation although it’s closed. I met her mother once (as she lives neighbour with a friend of mine), it’s really harrowing for the aging mother. Her name is Annie Börjesson, there is a few articles in scottish media about her case.
you got those dutch names almost right there. the afliction on the 'A' in their names should be a slightly longer 'M'or 'J' and a almost abruptly ending 'A'
@@BrettonFerguson you could get a game master and make him hide the clue's
Stegehuis is pronounced Staygehuis (with troath clearing on the G)
"Hmm, I found a camera bag and 20 rolls of used film...oh? The name in the bag matches the victims of a double homicide? Let me just throw these away."
Good job, pal. Good job.
I thought the same. Who was this guy...Homer Simpson?
🤣 I swear some police departments just look at screwing up crime scenes as “job security”.
I would imagine that whoever found and then dumped the items thought having them at all would instantly make themselves a suspect and figured no good could come of having them.
@@GoldenfoxxPrime yea, with this whole thing, that is certainly a possibility, but was this the guy they just found out lied about everything, and I mean everything?
he had one job . . .
Wait a second.....Bodybuilder guy comes back covered in blood saying
"I just killed a reindeer".....
Years later he tries to break in a old people's home...and in a rage CUTS OFF HIS FOREARM!!!
Police don't think he's their man.....instead continue to look for someone mentally unstable?!?!?!
There's mental illness and then there's Swedish mental illness, i guess.
Your user name made me laugh!
That is Swedish police for ya
Couldn't prove anything
Brotherhood of The MILF
✨ lol! I like the way you think.
Me: gotta stay positive to beat depression
Also me: *3 hours binge watch of murder cases*
Vlad Alexandru yep. And I really need FBI type narratives of serial killers to lull me to sleep.
i'm of the firm belief that binging videos like this can actually bring peace, because at least we aren't these poor bastards! I binge crime shows while i'm working overnight and it helps me feel comfortable to fall asleep (i work overnight as an inhome care provider so i'm legit allowed and encouraged to sleep)
I know you posted this a year ago but I was just thinking that LOL
Ive been pissed before but never "cut off my own arm with an axe" pissed
Wait until you read Berserk lol you'll see why the protagonist had a similar experience
Beast: That was funny man,,LOL.
Altered Beast I love your screen name.
That's what we do in Sweden when we get upset.
@@kallebirgersson710 damn. Thought you folks were all saunas and chill
This is why I go camping in my house.
😳😂😂😂
Same here
Morbid - "fresh air is for dead people" 😂
You made me laugh out loud... which scared my dog... in our little tent... in our living room...🏕
I haven't camped since the seventies. Too many freaks and weirdos out there now. I was lucky to have camped every summer as a kid.We even camped in out of the way places. Something that I'd NEVER do now. Great safe and fun childhood memories.
That's it, I'm cancelling my camping trip this weekend. Gonna stay home with the doors locked.
Unless your joking. F that. Go have a good time. Stay strapped bro
Says the lunatic with Charles Manson as his profile pic
Just go camping with a team of bodybuilders
”Collapsed blood stained tent” gave me a deja vu. This case was so interesting, and I’ve never heard of it. I live in Finland so Sweden is our neighbour. And here we had a famous case called Lake Bodom murders which is still unsolved. Four youngsters were at Lake Bodom here in Finland and while they were sleeping in their tent three of the four was killed and the only survivor was injured. They were found at the scene tent collapsed and blood stains on the tent, three of them still inside and the fourth victim collapsed over the tent. One of our most famous murder mysteries here at Finland.
sounds like a connection
The Lake Bodom murders is one of my favorite cases. It really intrigues me.
German cyclist seen nearby. It's costing him a fortune in fillet knives and fishing rods.
Good Grief, Barnie Fife could have solved this one!!!! These guys were off the chart inept!!
Barney Fife....😂😂😂
I was envisioning a Swedish Barney.
Similar crimes have been committed in Finland. In 1959, two girls were killed when they were sleeping in their tent and in 1960, four teenagers were attacked. One of them survived. These crimes are still unsolved. I used to love camping when I was a kid but not after I heard about those cases!
I live in Stockholm, Sweden and have read a book about Bergvall/Quick. It's realy interesting. He basicly admitted to a lot of murders under therapy (I think it was regression therapy, someone correct me if I'm wrong). He did this because he was given drugs from the medical team. Eventually it was concluded he did not commit a single murder. All though he did sexualy assult a person.
In the case of the Stegehui, I firmly belive the bodybuilder did it.
Bergwall was so far gone on prescription drugs at the time he probably would've admitted to the Jack the Ripper murders if he was just promised more drugs to do so.
I agree. He confessed to a lot of things not guilty of. To convict him of something that confessed, yet didn't know the facts is stupidity gone to seed.
I saw that guys picture and nearly busted out laughing. The first thing thing that popped into my mind was, “this man couldn’t kill a spider with bug spray, a flyswatter, a newspaper, some mace and a .22”. There is no way he is killing 2 people armed with a filet knife. The woman could have fought him off.
The Swedish police completely botched this investigation. I watch a show called Modus, based in Stickholm, very well done!
The "body builder" who cut off his own forearm sounds like he was on methamphetimine. The double murder with so many stabs, apparently by a stranger to the couple, also sounds like it could have been done by a meth addict. Another possibility with a body builder could have been rage stoked by steroid use, 'roid rage'. (Why did the guy cut off his arm? Was it caught in the door where he tried to break in?) The tale of killing a reindeer with a knife sounds ridiculous and it surely could have been checked out at the time.
@Aeternalis Armentarius meth rage isn't fake though. I've seen it, it creates violent psychocis in people... Especially when they're on a comedown
Anna Morris absolutely
Yes, I rather think the killer was him. It would be great to know that for certain though and I am sure their loved ones would love to know it too. Thank you for sharing this, DC. I always look forward to your videos.
Highly unlikely to have had access to crystal meth in the 80s in Sweden.
@@patavinity1262 I thought the same. People making the mistake of injecting (no pun intended) today's social problems to past times. Meth really wasn't on the radar back then. Not to say other hallucinogenic weren't. Like LSD or magic mushrooms.
Definitely the reindeer killer.
Dam That was a lot of "Nuts " in the area at the time of their deaths.
Good video !
Thomas Quick was full of drugs from hospital when the swedish police
did a crime walk of what it's called. I remember this case. Tragic!
Thanks for sharing this!
Could the "Bodybuilder" have been suffering the effects of steroid abuse? Most people will be aware that violent rages are common in users. He could well have mistaken the couple's tent for his companions', and killed them in a blind rage? Just a thought.
I bought *Hunt A Killer* because of you and *LOVE* it! My husband and I play it on date night. My husband, the skeptic, was *shocked at the quality of the items* and story. Also, they used proper actors & actresses to play the different parts. One of the letters in our first box *WAS ACTUALLY TYPED* with an actual typewriter!
Thanks for the review - I wondered if it was any good
uhhh, that dead body builder ticks all the boxes, and was likely the perp.
For sure it's the bodybuilder. Covered in blood and says he killed a reindeer with no animal to show for it.
He killed a reindeer??? Santa Clause will be VERY mad at this person !!!
The Olde days of Radio, commercials the host would make it sound like the best thing on earth. You have such talent and I became interested in Hunt A Killer. So well done, or is it done well. Thanks for being you.
I'm Dutch and have never heard of this case.
Love how you pronounce Stegehuis.
I watched Swedish news reports about the case and that was how they pronounced it! 😀
Me too!
I'm Dutch too and I'm completely unfamiliar with this case as well. The Stegehuis pronunciation does indeed sound pretty Scandinavian 😉
Heck I'm Swedish and never heard of these-- granted it's from waaaay up north while I'm in the southern half of the country, so that might just be why
The police couldn't of done a worse job of screwing up that case if they tried!
It definitely sounds like it was that bodybuilder
Swedish cops sound like a bad joke.
this has gotta be one of my worst fears. and one of the big reasons i really prefer to camp in my van versus a tent.. van life ftw. that extra layer of protection could be huge
This is why I go camping in my house.
My RV!! With a locked door and a gun inside for protection!
M couldn’t agree with you more. There’s a lot of freaks out there. Why risk it
Yeah tin can vs axe, I like ur chances!
Get some pepper spray and carry it in your pocket.
Man, that must have been a brutal attack with all those stab wounds.
Sounds like the police dropped the ball a bit on the initial investigation. What happened to DNA evidence? Why didn’t they get names and addresses of other people in the campground or camping nearby? It sounds like the most viable suspect was the bodybuilder. I think his two companions were probably very lucky.
Thanks for sharing the video. Hunt a killer sounds really interesting. Will have to see if I have room in my budget of a retired schoolteacher To fit in an extra $25 a month.
Deborah Rogers DNA technology wasn’t available for police (especially not in a remote area like northern Scandinavia) in 1984 (why they didn’t try to extract DNA in the 90’s or early 2000’s I don’t know, maybe the technology was still not advanced enough yet) and the case was officially closed after 25 years as the law was then. Statute of limitation for murder was abolished in Sweden in 2010, in order to not make the murder of prime minister Olof Palme in 1986 fall under it. But this case did fall under it as 25 years had passed in 2009. They probably COULD extract DNA with modern DNA tech today from evidence material still kept , but the case can never legally be reopened. Sadly. A German tourist was apprehended shortly after the killings but released as there was not enough evidence against him. And although eccentric, he was without doubt innocent.
@@mortechrome Thanks for this answer here. I still don't agree with abolishing the statute for murder. Anyway, their laws are not for me to dispute. I am just saying.
Raumfahrtmedizin And in the meantime, other countries keep evidence and have solved crimes 50 years later using DNA. It’s a shame that with so few murders, they couldn’t be bothered to save such a small amount of evidence. Here we can reopen cases that aren’t solved.
In the 90s we were starting to extract DNA and definitely in the 2000s. It’s pure incompetence that this crime wasn’t solved. No excuses.
@@___LC___ Yeah, but that was how laws were until 2010-the evidence material(tent etc) is still being kept but the case can’t be reopened as unsolved murders committed before 1 july 1985 fall under the previous statute of limitation for murder. Read up on ”Thomas Quick” (His name is Sture Bergwall today, don’t think there’s much in english but there is always google translate) if you are interested in this case and how the false sentence on him and his false confessions in this and many other cases botched up several murder investigations. It’s definitely a scandal.
Let me just back up here
Are you saying that a dude found a bag full of film and knew it was connected to an unsolved double murder and just threw them away?
Wtf 🤦♀️
IKR? Sounds like he's guilty of something.
The police could have done a much better job. Looks to me that they weren't all that interested.
These are the people who can't even find out who assassinated their Prime Minister. What chance do two foreign tourists have?
It amazes me how much bad police work there is. I can’t imagine myself holding a job and failing to do the basics of it yet remaining employed.
Yes! Get those sponsors. You work hard and deserve it.
This case is so screwed up.Police really dropped the ball and the dude with the film(who seems kinda suspicious!).
I got the impression that Police in this case appeaedr overly anxious to rule out even the most suspicious characters.
Thank you as always for this superb channel and fascinating cases. I can't click on your new posts fast enough!
The bodybuilder Erik is now generally considered to be the culprit. Being om steroids and other drugs in combination with alcohol is an explosive mix to say the least. The poor Stegehuis never had a chance...
He probably had a drug induced psychotic break when he lopped his arm off as well.
This is a case that messed me up as a kid. I saw the reconstruction with Quick om tv and it was so scary that I promised myself never to sleep in a tent. It really drove home the point how vulnerable you are in that situation. Needless to say, I have never been om a tent vacation...
congrats on the sponsor, hope you get many more!!
Such a weird case!
Wow, I'm from this area and had never heard about it! I'm not surprised the cops didn't do a very thorough job, at most we get thefts of snowmobiles and drunk driving, not murders. The reindeer thing is suspicious, (as all reindeer are generally tagged and tracked) and he didn't sound stable at all. I wish I knew who to talk to locally about this, because I'm sure if he's a local "known to the police" then people around here probably know if it was him or not. Thanks for covering this! (Also, your pronounciation of the names and places is great!)
Never heard of this case. Very interesting indeed!
Oh, I remember reading about this case years ago. I'm fairly sure I've been to Appojaure or at least passed by there as we used to go vacationing in northern Sweden when I was a kid, as I grew up in northern Norway.
Personally I think the bodybuilder was probably the most likely suspect.
I grew up in Lappland (although not that far north) and I remember hearing about this on the news
Oh, and about Berwall. He has confessed to killin gpeople who were proven to be alive and has been cleared of several of his other confessions. They don't trust him much anymore
I'm glad you got a sponsor! You deserve some money for your work! ❤❤❤
Good lord, the ineptitude. Sad.
I love your videos! Well explained with a clear voice, and you can tell you've done a lot of research too. Great channel.
Thanks for the video. And I have to say I'm surprised at the shoddy police work on this murder. Whoever did it got away with it so far.
I absolutely LOVE the way you say Food and speak in general. I would be stoked to have you make a small audio opening for my tiny channel.
Thank you so very much for all your uplaods especially in this time of COVID -19. May Lord Budda watch over you and keep you & yours from all harm.
So glad I can camp with my doberman and my 10mm and my AR. I couldn't imagine being so helpless.
Bang, bang through the walls of your tent. Your dog is dead and so are you. Nothing is fool proof against someone who wants to kill you.
One shot, one kill.
I agree.....a person can never have too much protection, especially while camping!!
Does your Doberman use the 10mm or is he an AR kinda dog?
Your AR won't be very effective inside a tent small enough to backpack.
Way to go, I see you've been subsidized!! Glad to see your hard work is paying off.
I'm really enjoying your channel, I'm from the east of Scotland so I'm guessing you aren't too far from me, good to hear a local accent. Keep up the good work.
I feel very sad and frustrated too when I come across such an unsolved case .
Brilliant. I love original cases. Thankyou.
Haven't heard of this case yet. Good video
I, just today, watched a review of this Hunt A Killer and here it is again.... I was put off that it takes months to finish an episode. Thank you for the video!
Thank you- but what a disturbing case, too. The whole time, I'd been wondering if it was seriously considered that more than one person had a hand in this- someone making sure the victims were held down, the fact that two knives were used, etc.; however, if one man acting alone could do this, somebody capable of severing his own arm sure sounds like a good candidate for it.
Thank you 🖤
Thankyou for the video 👍♥️
The swedish police at this time had only one person in mind about the killings that they didn't want to look in any other direction. Bergwall had confessed to this and many other murders wich none of them was true. He lied and said that he had been up in Appojaure (though no car or couldn't drive), had stolen a bike and went up to the campingsite. Well as it turned out a bike HAD been stolen that night so the police thought that Bergwalls story was legit. He said that he entered the tent from the opening but a can of soda stood there wich he must have flipped over if that was the case. The marks on the tent pointed at another direction, that the tent had been sliced up from the side and the position of the people inside seemed to show the same thing. Horrible story. I wonder how many murderers that runs loose because of the police and the people at the psychiatric hospital beliving in his stories.
Such a great channel and thank you for your hard work.
I like it a lot more when you are speaking in the speed of this video than when you are slower! When you speak slower and have longer pauses between sentences, I can’t seem to have the patience to follow your stories. I am a foreigner but you articulate and pronounce your words well enough so that everyone understands so please keep filming in this speed haha ☺️
So many Police ineptitudes with this case. That bodybuilder was shady AF and why didn't they question the guy who threw away those rolls of the film more extensively?
Have you ever heard of a bodybuilder being able to sneak up or outrun a reindeer? Case closed. Swedish police fails again.
Great videos!!
I think you’ll find that the land of the midnight sun is actually Norway. Other than that, great vid and good pronunciations.
Two young women Kylen and Crystal were murdered camping in Noab, Utah August 2021. Please do an episode on them to try to help solve it. It’s so heinous and distressing. Thank you 🙏
Going to get that "Hunt A Killer" package. That sounds awesome. I love research! Let's solve these!
So enjoy your videos ! My gosh the Police procedure..
Imma need an elaboratation on "dude who got mad and chopped off his own arm"
That shit was hilarious in a dark sort of a way
Can we watch you play Hunt a Killer sometime? A short version/commercial type video would be just fine.
My heart goes out to police officers and forensic teams who have to see things like this. True, they choose their vocations, but how many ever really expect to see such horrors? How many expect to see people horrifically murdered, tortured, and worst of all, children who are raped, abused, tortured, kidnapped, and murdered? How many turn to alcohol to blot out the pain and the sights and smells? To blot out having had to tell mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, that their loved ones are not coming home? Or that they can't be found? Or that they are found, but will never be the same? How many are so changed that their marriages collapse? If you're a LEO, forensic person, or police dispatcher, please know that I think of you, ache for you, and hold you in the highest possible respect and admiration. I see you, and I care. 💖
Dear Ms. Dark, the t in filet knife is silent. Although, hearing your pronounciation with the accent, it still sounds wonderfull!
Great cops they got over there... Man disappears, returns covered in blood and they don't feel it's worth looking into?
Yeah... Top notch detective work.
WTF? How was the bodybuilder not a suspect? That's insanely stupid.
Thanks. A good one, again.
In Finland there is also a few interesting camping murders. Maby it's the midnight sun that drives people insane 🤔
The Kytäjä triple murder (solved),
Tulilahti double murder (not solved) and the most famous one
The lake Bodom triple murder (Unsolved but I think the only surviver Nils Gustafsson did it, they just couldn't prove it).
Hunt a Killer makes a great Birthday/Mothers Day/Fathers Day/Etc present. Especially for those who we can't figure out what to get them!! Wonderful idea as a gift, everyone loves it!!!
Actually, Norway is the "Land of the Midnight Sun".
Good documentary he's in if y'all are interested in more of Thomas Quick.
*The Confessions of Thomas Quick*
- This chilling film tells the gripping story of the making of a modern Swedish serial killer - taking us to the very heart of events that terrified a nation. Horrific and intriguing in equal measure, this is real Scandinavian noir, a dark tale of murder and lies. In a high-security psychiatric institute sits Thomas Quick, Sweden's most notorious serial killer. A misfit loner who openly confessed to a range of unspeakable crimes including rape, murder and cannibalisation, Quick's story has shocked and haunted the Swedish nation for over 20 years. However, new evidence including testimony from the man himself has taken this terrifying story in an even more disturbing direction. With full access to Quick and those around him, this real life thriller unravels the truth behind a self-confessed serial killer and uncovers a dark tale of murder and lies. The film examines the shocking revelations that were at the centre of this horrifying case; not only what happened but the major impact it has had on both those directly involved as well as the wider community. Looking at what would drive a man to commit such terrible crimes, the film also asks the question of how a monster such as Thomas Quick could have evolved and what contributed to his creation. Not for the faint of heart, the journey to the ultimate truth behind what happened is a tense, twisted odyssey that has forced a nation to come to terms with series of nightmarish crimes that have haunted their society for decades."
-Brian Hill
Damn..Police really dropped the ball here..I mean really?? Didn't follow up on anything, couldn't even decide on a suspect and didn't think about checking the car for fingerprints...smh.. :-(
🦌🦌🦌❤️
MW IN THE HOUSE!!! WOOP WOOP!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Mollie..noyce!!such a good recommendation when one of you gives the thumbs up to what in any other field would be a “rival”
Thanks DC.💔🤘
FYI: reindeer is the word for domesticated caribou.
Thanks again for the interesting true crime case. I agree with other comments. What is it about this case and Sweden? We usually think of Nordic countries are being perfect little countries. The concentration of loonies in this area, along with the incompetent local authorities is all truly mind blowing. Cutting off your own arm? WTF?
shoddy detective work
Let’s save time. Let’s discuss evidence the police didn’t screw up. Geez. Were they betting against themselves at a bookie’s? As an aside, isn’t it strange when there’s a homicide and a suspect gets caught with blood on them, just how often they just ran over an animal? Now this guy, he skewered Blitzen. Points for creativity. Reindeer are huge. If this guy stabbed one, it’s because the suspect in another murder hit it with his car. As they do.🙄
This case seems similar to lake Bodom murder in Finland. Creepy
A lot of potential suspects in this case, However I would have to put the guy who cut off his own arm in a rage at the top. A lot of evidence already points towards him and he was clearly extremely unstable, I could totally believe he intended to kill his 2 friends but got the wrong tent due to his intoxication and through a very extreme manic episode of blind rage. The inmate who initially claimed the guys confession probably went quiet during an interrogation because he either didn’t want to be seen as a ‘rat’ or more likely he was scared of saying anything more about the guy who could go from a calm 1 to an enraged 100 in mere seconds. Given it seems that the guy was known to police and he hung around with people just like him, it sounds like the police just wanted to pin it on the serial killer when he falsely confessed just so they didn’t have to deal with interviewing the gang who knew the guy that died chopping off his own arm.
You have a beautiful voice and i love your accent!
Awwwww 😆😆
Wow! This whole thing was frustrating and painful to listen too. The police really didn’t know who to arrest? Awful police investigation!! May these two victims Rest In Peace.
Interesting case!
Sweden should have called the FBI. Someone who knows how to solve a murder
There are plenty of unsolved cases the FBI has been involved in.
Scene at 10:00 absolute paradise.
As someone living in the area described, I am experiencing some troubles understanding the oddly pronounced place names ;-) .., By the way, the "village Gällivare" is actually no at a ll a village, but a larger town.🙂
Sweetly told of this sick feeling murder😕
I love sleeping by a crackling fire in the great outdoors, but it's an app on my tablet and I'm safe inside my home with my dog and my Sig Sauer.
Remote yet crowded :thinking:
My hell, there are enough weird suspects in this case! That bodybuilder did it!😡
Yup, pretty good argument for not going camping.
They must have been absolutely terrified. RIP.
I'm a big fan of true crime channels in general but I find less well known (to me at least), vintage crime particularly fascinating. I wondered how you go about finding these cases? Even if we just take the last century into account, given the amount of murders worldwide, how do you decide which cases to cover?
how could someone do this?
Easy. People do much worse than this every day. It's sad. Some people are pure evil.
Very scary😳 May they Rest In Peace.✝️
What was the body builder's name? I missed it.
Appo ya ray. Very interesting pronunciation. I still love your voice.
when I hear cases like these I ALWAYS think cops are behind this
They should do real cold cases for the Hunt A Killer, to help solve real crimes - many people have different viewpoints and ideas that could really help detectives. 🔎
