Case 244

Engla Höglund & Pernilla Hellgren

*** Warning: This case involves a child victim ***

On April 5 2008, 10-year-old Engla Höglund went missing while cycling home from soccer practice near the small Swedish town of Stjärnsund. As news spread, a witness came forward who had captured Engla in a photograph just moments before she disappeared.

The image not only revealed an instrumental clue but also led to the stunning discovery that whoever had taken Engla Höglund was also responsible for the unsolved murder of 31-year-old Pernilla Hellgren in the Swedish city of Falun eight years earlier.
