Tom’s been going through old church books to find more about Johan’s

family – a method other investigators disregard as old fashion and a waste of
time. He had been looking for the slightest clue that could help the investigation.

a connection to the sudden disappearance. Luckily, he quickly came across the

name, Inge-Lise, and so he quickly found out that the woman was alive and her
address. Tom is on his way out to meet her at this moment, but it was only

possible because Bjørn held back the meeting with the police and the Minister of

Defence a few hours.
The connection he has gained from looking into Johan's family tree, was

That happens for most old couples, but he still thought there might be something
