BONUS: The mystery of Viking Sally


In December 2015, a frightened woman reports her ex-husband to Danish police, claiming he bragged about getting away with murder on the ferry Viking Sally back in 1987. This chilling revelation reopens a cold case involving one of the most infamous crimes at sea. The Viking Sally, known for multiple violent incidents, including the unsolved murder of a West-German couple in 1987, earns a grim nickname: "The Murder Boat." With new leads and decades of unresolved trauma, Danish and Finnish police collaborate, delving into the darkest corners of Nordic crime history, piecing together the puzzle of the Viking Sally murders.
