On July 18th, 1984 a man walking his dog underneath the Karlberg bridge in Stockholm Sweden would make a makabre discovery.
After the dog starts barking and pulling on the leash the man would spot two black trash bags underneath some trees.
Inside of one is a woman’s torso, and in the other one her legs.
This is the beginning of a case that would turn into both a legal and media scandal and it remains unsolved to this day.
The body parts are examined by forensic pathologist Jovan Rajs at Karolinska Institutet.
He notes that the dismembering has been done by someone with limited anatomical knowledge using household tools. But the identity of the woman remains a mystery.
That is until a month later on august 7th when another two trash bags are found on Eugeniavägen, only a couple hundred yards from Karolinska Institutet.
They contain a woman’s hands and arms. Her internal organs and head are still missing but the police collect fingerprints to cross reference with criminal records.
A match is found and the victim is finally identified. Her name is Catrine da Costa, a 27 year old prostitute and heroin addict.
Catrine was born Catrine Bäckström in Luleå, Sweden 1956. She had a bit of a troubled upbringing and she started using drugs in her teens. She also had a baby but because of her drug use the child was taken away by social services.
In 1982 she moved to Portugal with a man she had married, they had a baby but unable to shake her drug habits, it too was taken away by social services. Her marriage then fell apart and she moved back to Sweden, settling in Stockholm and began working as a prostitute to support herself and her drug addiction.
In the last years of her life she was homeless, sleeping either with costumers for the night, with friends or in homeless shelters. she spent her days around Malmskillnadsgatan where men looking for prostitutes frequent.

On July 3, 1991, Kirsten Davis, 21, was traveling on Highway 297 in Toombs County not far from the Emanuel County line when she was shot and killed. She died from a shotgun wound to her face and neck. Kirsten's 1985 blue Subaru station wagon was found overturned in a ditch by passing motorists around 1:30 a.m., thirty minutes after investigators believe the shooting occurred. At the time of her death, Kirsten was on her way to visit a friend in Vidalia.
The Toombs County Sheriff's Office requested the GBI's assistance in investigating the murder. Over the years, all leads have been exhausted and the motive for Kirsten's killing still remains unknown. A reward of $10,000 is offered for information leading to an arrest in this case.
Kirsten, a scholarship student from Boulder, Colorado, had just graduated from Berry College in Rome with a teaching degree in social science. She intended to stay in Georgia and pursue a career as a public school teacher. In her spare time, Kirsten mentored foster children through the Big Sister program and worked as an aide at a Christian summer camp. She was well liked by all who knew her.
Anyone who may have information about Kirsten's death is asked to please contact the Toombs County Sheriff's Office at 912-526-6778 or the GBI Eastman Office at 478-374-6988.

> OKLAHOMA COUNTY — After nearly a week of hearing testimony and a little more than an hour of deliberation, a jury has found a man accused of killing an 8-year-old girl who was reported missing more than two decades ago guilty.
> Anthony Palma has been convicted in the killing Kirsten Hatfield, who was reported missing in May 1997.
He was arrested for this back in 2015. It was pretty big news where I work in Midwest City.

There, I said it.
The June 25th, 2021 UFO report, particularly that classified version, really shook up a lot of people in Congress. It’s what got Kirsten Gillibrand to write up her Amendment. It got others like Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney to start talking about all this in public language that held open the possibility that they may not be of this Earth. It got the same response from NASA’s new administrator Bill Nelson. Even Avril Haines, whose office put it out, was talking more openly in the aftermath. Plus, last year saw former CIA chiefs taking to the airwaves and talking about what a vast universe we live in, one where anything is possible.
An argument over a cell phone provoked the altercation that ended the life of a French citizen who was stabbed on Wednesday in Playas del Coco. According to govisitcostarica.com, the main attraction of Playas de Coco is that it’s easily accessible via Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, and is perfect for fishing and “partying at the beach”.
