True Crime All The Time23 Aug 2021

Thomas Olsen

Birna Brjansdottir disappeared on January 14, 2017, after a night out with friends in Iceland. The 20-year-old sales assistant lived with her mother and routinely walked home after a night at the bars. This was a common practice in Iceland because their crime rate, and especially their homicide rate, was so low. But, Birna met a complete stranger named Thomas Olsen who was determined to end her life.

Join Mike and Gibby as they head to Iceland to discuss Thomas Olsen and the murder of Birna. Thomas Olsen was a 25-year-old fisherman from Greenland who was set to board a fishing vessel at the port after he murdered Birna. But, he was not alone at the time that Birna disappeared and the police had a hard time figuring out whether Thomas or his friend Nikolai was the main suspect. The evidence finally led them to Thomas but a good deal of international diplomacy had to happen to make the arrest.
