“I have chosen to look into the investigation here in Denmark once again. The
reports made from the investigation in 1984, were in many ways far too lacking,
both in relation to Johan, who had worked freelance for Kräsen for a couple of
years, up to his disappearance, but also in relation to the alcoholic Jens
Willumsen. "
"Hmm, yes." Olina nods approvingly.
He continues in a low-key voice: “The investigations around Johan became so
vague, because they did not want to hurt the wife and the children, thus not

everyday wear consisting of jeans, a collar blouse in red with a white pattern at
the neck, a pair of ordinary dark brown leather boots and the hair set up in a
tuber at the neck.
"You look good, and it looks like you're in a good mood, even though we have a
lot of big problems on our hands," she says slightly concerned.
She hates feeling underdressed, and she really feels that now. It happens to be a
scar that she is dragging along with in her mind from her early childhood years
as a refugee in Denmark, where she always were wearing second hand clothes.
She clearly recalls the large, black bags that were unloaded a couple of times a
month at a particular place in the refugee centre that read: Free clothes and
