248: The Orderud Murders | Norway

248: The Orderud Murders | Norway

In May 1999, three members of the Orderud family were found shot to death in their home in rural Norway. The victims — Kristian and Marie Orderud and their daughter Anne — had been killed in the dead of night in what appeared to be a cold and calculated execution. Despite four people being convicted of complicity, no one has ever been held legally responsible for pulling the trigger. What followed was one of the most controversial criminal cases in modern Norwegian history. In this episode, we unpack the family tensions, forensic mysteries, legal battles, and lingering questions that still surround the Orderud case today.
