A true crime story about a girl who disappeared without a trace

I have no idea what the water is like between Germany and Denmark, so I cannot speak of this particular instance. What I can tell you, though, is that it is not uncommon for bodies to disappear in the ocean and never be recovered. This also happens in some rivers and lakes. I was just watching a show last night where a boat sank and eight people drown in the lake but only five of the bodies were recovered. The divers searched for the other bodies but were unable to find them. The lake is large and very deep and murky plus there are large catfish and bull sharks present in the lake, so they believe that the fish disposed of the other bodies.

There are more jellyfishes than piranhas in the Baltic Sea. I think it is rare when a corpse is not found there, but Porcospino has perhaps more information ?

I do not know how common it is when a corpse is not found there, but then again there are exceptions to the rule in most instances. I did a quick search to see what fish species are common there, though, and there are some species that have been known to attack humans from time to time, although not specifically in the Baltic Sea, which might be a factor in this case. Still, there are some that tend to be "opportunistic feeders", so they will not differentiate between a human corpse and another kind of easily available meal.

There have also been some cases in my country where the police thought that the things that people left behind were strange and it didn't really make sense to leave those things behind if the person intented to start a new life somewhere else. That was one of the reasons why the police thought that the disappearance was a crime and not someone who decided to start a new life somewhere else. Of course some of the people from my country who disappear simply wanted to get from everything, but if there is any doubt the police treat it like a crime.

I don't think that they found any blood at all. It is true that it would be difficult to guess what happened even if there was some blood. It could have been accident where she cut herself or it could have been someone who attacked her. I find it strange that none of the other passengers heard or saw anything. If she was attracked she would probably have screamed and there would have been other kinds of noise. I find it hard to believe that no one heard that if it actually happened that way, but I guess that we will never discover the truth.

It is the same way in this country. There have been disappearances where someone claimed that the person just took off ... I guess you could call it "running away", although I usually think of that more in terms of children rather than adults ... but the things that the person left behind suggested that they did not leave voluntarily. In most of these cases, the person that claims the other one just took off ends up being the suspect, especially when evidence is found that there was a struggle or something like that. In the case that you are reading about, though, it would be very difficult to find evidence of a struggle, especially on a ferry, unless they found blood and could positively match it to the girl that disappeared. Even then, depending upon the amount and location of the blood, it would be difficult to say that she didn't just trip and fall or cut herself rather than get into an altercation with or get attacked by someone.

I don't think it is possible that she changed her identity and moved somewhere else with her boyfriend. That would have been possible if they had both been "ordinary" people, but her boyfriend was a famous soccer player and he stayed in the same location and continued his career after her disappearance. The other option that you mentioned (that she was hiding from him because of an abusive relationship) that would be possible. I hadn't thought about that, but it is not unrealistic. I don't know why she was travelling with some relatives instead of her parents. It could also be interesting to know what the purpose of the trip was, maybe that is related to her disappearance? But I don't know that either.

hhmmm. . .the plot thickens! Maybe the author (or you) should write a follow-up sequel. . .

I was thinking that if the boyfriend had also moved or changed location, even months after the fact, that would show that she was probably still alive and living under an assumed identity (with him). Unless, of course, people indicated that he had been overbearing, abusive, etc., in which case it could mean that she was hiding from him. As for the relatives, you did actually mention that in your original post; I was questioning why she was traveling with relatives and not her own parents?

The good news is that the thief was caught yesterday hundreds of kms away from Mumbai.He was traced at Haridwar railway station and the little girl was taken in the police custody.

Yes,the thief was going to make the child a beggar.He has revealed his intention before the police.

Her name is Kris Egeberg. She disappeared on the ferry. I forgot to mention that, but she was travelling with some relatives. At one point she told her relatives that she was going to spend some time on the sun deck, then she left and she never came back. It is possible that she drowned, but it is very strange that no one heard anything and her body wasn't found. More than 30 years has passed since that time and we might never find out what happened to her.

Well, I'll go for the drowning. Sure it was weird that her body wasn't found, but who knows where her body might be in the sea. Anything could happen as to why the body wasn't found. I don't mean to sound offensive, but maybe the body was eaten off by sharks? Have you heard of Jaycee Lee Duggard? She was kidnapped when she was very young and her abductor kept and fathered her children for many many years.

Yeah that is a big possibility, sharks might have eaten her body leaving no trace. Especially if it is a wide dark sea, it is not unusual to have drowned bodies missing..

I think it is possibility that she changed her looks and managed to get away from the ferry unnoticed. If she did that she must have planned it very carefully because she wasn't travelling alone. She told her relatives that she would spend some time on the sun deck of the ferry, but they never saw her again. It must have been a difficult situation for her relatives, because 30 years has passed and they still don't know what happened or why she decided to disappear if was her own choice to disappear.

No, the book that I mentioned is written by a Danish author. My local library has several books about true crime stories and most of them are written by different policemen. I like to read those true stories. Sometimes they have found the person who commited the crime and in some cases like the one that I mentioned when I started the discussion there the truth has never been revealed. I don't know the books by Anne Rule, but I looked up her name when I had read your response. Her books sounds interesting and I will see if I can find them at my local library.

I can't remember if I already read some book of Danish author, anyway hope you can find one book of Ann Rule her books are really interesting! :))
