Episode description
The two young Swedish backpackers Heidi Paakkonen and Urban Höglin wrote many letters and postcards from their trip to their friends and family in the late 1980s. But one day they wanted to go hiking in the New Zealand wilderness and that’s when the correspondence dried up.
Whether the right perpetrator was held responsible was considered questionable when Urban's body was discovered some time after the trial.
