About This Episode
The true crime podcast landscape across Scandinavia reflects a growing public appetite for in-depth investigations into regional criminal cases. Swedish and Danish productions have begun examining cases that often remain etched in public memory, bringing renewed attention to both solved and unsolved murders through audio storytelling.
One case that has received significant coverage in Nordic true crime media is the 1989 murder of 10-year-old Helén Nilsson in the Swedish town of Hörby. This case became the subject of the SVT series *Jagten på en morder* (The Hunt for a Murderer), which examined the investigation and search for justice. The case demonstrates how Scandinavian true crime productions often revisit historical crimes, reexamining evidence and investigative approaches through a modern lens.
