hi guys my name is Alex and today we'll delve into the case of a 17-year-old girl who stepped out of the cafe where she worked weekends and vanished Without a Trace police began finding one disturbing clue after another suggesting something truly awful had happened to this girl from the beginning this case became Sweden's top news story drawing in over a thousand people for the largest search operation in the country's history in the end they managed to uncover the Grim truth leaving everyone stunned at how such a tragedy could have happened Lisa Holm was born on February 7th 1998 in the small Swedish town of hu it was a quiet and peaceful place where she lived with her parents and older sister Lisa was a kind positive and determined person even before finishing school she decided she wanted to go to Australia and architecture Lisa also traveled a lot with her parents seeing a lot of other countries she was also quite independent since her teenage years Lisa had been working at various part-time jobs to earn some money on her own before the summer of 2015 when Lisa was 17 she finally got her first serious job at a cafe about a 40-minute drive from her home for the first few weeks her parents drove her there but soon her father decided to buy her a scooter Lisa had a license for this type of transport while she could only get a car license after turning 18 she was happy with this gift because she wanted to commute to work on her own but for the first few weeks her father accompanied her in his car since Lisa had almost no experience driving on the roads she only worked weekends and her father accompanied her every morning and evening this went on until June 7th when he finally let her drive to the cafe alone somewhere around lunchtime her parents decided to visit her at work and have lunch together that day the cafe was pretty crowded So Lisa was really busy with work she took a short break for lunch had a snack with her parents and they went back home at 6:23 Lisa texted her father that she was leaving work but 3 minutes later he received a call from her he picked up but no one answered he heard some voices in the background and thought Lisa had dialed his number accidentally the father thought she was talking to her colleagues and also heard the sound of a car door slamming shut he called Lisa's name several times with no answer then ended the call and began waiting for her to get home but she didn't show up an hour passed and Lisa's parents started to worry she should have arrived by now so her father immediately thought something might have happened to her on the way it was her first time riding alone on the scooter and he was deeply concerned about her safety he tried calling her several times but Lisa's phone was off after waiting a few more minutes her father decided to hit the road hoping to meet her along the way since Lisa should have taken the shortest route the father feared Lisa might have had an accident so he drove at a slow pace scanning the road but Lisa was nowhere to be found the man eventually reached the cafe without finding his daughter upon arriving at her workplace he noticed Lisa's scooter parked in front of the building by that moment the man was already in a state of panic having been unable to find his daughter throughout the entire way seeing her scooter he immediately calmed down thinking that for some reason she was delayed at work however there was no one in the cafe and the man noticed something else Lisa's scooter keys were left in the ignition with a helmet hanging from its handle all of this led him to believe that something bad had happened to his daughter she would have never left the keys in the scooter abandoning it in the parking lot unattended meanwhile Lisa's mother called The Cafe owner in hopes of shedding light on her daughter's whereabouts but the woman claimed to have no idea where she could have gone she had called her employees around 6:00 p. m. and they said they were closing the cafe after the call from Lisa's mother the cafe owner immediately got into her car and headed there on the way she called four of her friends who lived nearby and asked them to help with the search when the cafe owner arrived at the scene they along with Lisa's father began and searching both the establishment itself and the surrounding area their Last Hope was that Lisa for some reason might have decided to take a bus instead of the scooter they checked the schedule and her mother along with Lisa's older sister drove to the bus stop in their Town unfortunately this version was not confirmed Lisa was not on the bus so her relatives immediately contacted the police by that time it was almost 1: p.
m. and it already got dark outside the police immediately medely launched extensive searches the fact that Lisa's scooter was left in the parking lot with the keys LED them to consider the possibility of abduction cases like this are quite rare in Sweden especially in the remote provincial area where Lisa's town was located therefore police immediately dispatched several groups with search dogs while other officers began knocking on every house located near the cafe when Lisa's classmates and her friends learned about her disappearance they began spreading information about it on social media hoping to attract more attention and possibly find some witnesses the search continued all night but it yielded no results on Monday morning the police department announced Lisa's disappearance to the public urging anyone who has some useful information to come forward around the same time a man who came to work at a barn right across the cafe discovered a motorcycle glove on the floor and reported it to the police detectives had already inspected This Barn on the evening of Lisa's disappearance but they hadn't noticed the glove there they showed it to Lisa's parents who confirmed that the glove indeed belonged to their daughter this further supported the abduction Theory and the police deployed additional resources for the search by that time news of Lisa's disappearance had spread throughout the country and hundreds of volunteers joined the search on Tuesday police received several more alarming Clues volunteers searched the area along the Dirt Road located a few hundred yard from the cafe there they found a phone case a receipt a ticket and a broken smartphone screen investigators immediately determined that all these items belong to Lisa and focused the search in that area soon they found other parts of the broken smartphone Lisa's ID and several more receipts all these items were scattered along the same dirt road after the discovery of those pieces of evidence the police became almost certain that Lisa had become a victim of abduction they threw all available resources into the search and with each passing day more and more people joined in this case became the main news Topic in Sweden and hundreds of volunteers flocked from all over the country to participate in the search a local volunteer organization specializing in finding missing people also joined the effort all of this made Lisa's search operation the largest in the country's modern history with over a thousand people participating in total the police also received numerous calls with tips one woman recounted that she went for a jog the day before Lisa's disappearance at some point a man who stood next to his car stopped her in the middle of the road he spoke to her in English and asked for directions to a city she had never heard of she tried to show him the way on Google Maps but the man asked her to get into his car and show the route on his Navigator naturally the woman found this request quite suspicious so she refused and continued running she also shared one interesting detail with the police the woman believed she had already seen this man among the workers who were repairing the same Barn located across the road from the cafe Lisa's colleagues also shared one observation on the day of her disappearance one of the witnesses noticed two men standing across the road from the cafe looking towards the establishment she didn't think of it much at the time but after Lisa's disappearance she decided to share this fact with the police the next morning morning on Wednesday Lisa's father along with some friends went to search the dirt road where her belongings were found walking a bit further he made several more alarming discoveries he found Lisa's driver's license and her house keys it all seemed as if Lisa was being taken along this road away from the cafe while the abductor was throwing her belongings out of their car or other vehicle they used to kidnap her the police and volunteers concentrated all their efforts on this area but no other items were found that same evening a friend of Lisa's father was returning home from the search passing by the cafe he noticed that the police tape had been removed from the barn where Lisa's glove was found the man decided to go inside and look for any other Clues once more he grabbed a flashlight from his car as it was already getting dark outside and walked around the premises for several minutes until something shiny on the floor caught his attention when he looked closer he saw a woman's earring and another one just like it nearby the man reported this to the police who showed the earrings to Lisa's parents they confirmed that these pieces of jewelry belonged to their daughter the police once again sealed off the barn and searched it more thoroughly the lead detector later explained that on the first day of Lisa's search their main focus was on finding the girl herself so the barn was inspected not so thoroughly they might have missed such small items as earrings but now they brought in numerous forensic experts along with search dogs this time they noticed a rather unusual piece of evidence behind one of the walls the police found human feces at first glance it may seem unrelated to the case but the forensic experts put forward a quite interesting Theory they explained that when criminals commit serious and horrible crimes their body produces an extreme amount of adrenaline which sometimes leads to the uncontrollable need to relieve themselves for example it's common for Killers to wet themselves before or during the murder considering that Lisa's glove and earrings were found in the barn the police theorized that if she was indeed abducted the perpetrator might have dragged her into this building therefore detectives didn't rule out the possibility that this person under the influence of adrenaline couldn't hold it and relieve themselves so these feces were sent to DNA analysis on Friday the search area was expanded and volunteers reached a farm located about 2 mil from the cafe it was a complex of several large buildings where many people worked and the search team decided to inspect them all however shortly after they arrived two men came to the farm they didn't speak Swedish and communicated only in English one of them said that the police had already been at this Farm but the search team leader didn't rush to believe it he thought that he would have known about it if that were the case so he decided to continue the search the two men walked around the farm for a while watching the volunteers and eventually drove away about an hour later members of the search team found a pile of branches behind the cowshed under it they found a motorcycle helmet jacket and headphones the police immediately arrived at the scene and confirmed that all these items belonged to Lisa they sent forensic experts to the farm for a more thorough search detectives also heard the story about the two strange men who tried to dissuade the volunteers from inspecting the farm the police also recall told the story of a woman who encountered a suspicious man speaking English while jogging in fact they already had an idea who it might be from the first days of the search they had visited all the houses near the cafe and in one of them lived two brothers from Lithuania along with the wife of one of them all three didn't speak Swedish and communicated in English they were the only people within several miles who didn't speak the local language the police also had other indirect reasons to suspect them the brother s worked in the barn across the road from the cafe and at the farm where Lisa's helmet was found they were familiar with these locations and the dirt road where Lisa's belongings were found led to their house considering that there were no other suspects the police decided to question all three of them meanwhile forensic experts arrived at the farm together with the volunteers they continued to inspect this area and soon their attention was drawn to an old trailer it was surrounded by tall grass and looked as if if it hadn't been used in many years but next to its door the grass was flattened as if something had been lying there recently some of the grass was also trapped under the door indicating that it had been recently opened as soon as the forensic experts opened the door they were immediately met with a strong smell of Decay inside the trailer there were many lockers for clothing apparently it was once used as a changing room for workers all the lockers except one were locked leading the experts to suspect that Lisa's body might be in one of them they began opening each locker and eventually saw that Lisa's body was actually in one that was left open hidden behind a pile of old clothes and Rags despite the small size of the locker the perpetrator managed to fit their victim inside Lisa had a rope around her neck and a large amount of tape over her head her pants were pulled down and her shirt was pulled up medical experts determined that Lisa died from Strang a however they found no signs of sexual assault all of her clothing was handed over to the lab while news of the discovery of her body rapidly spread throughout the country all this time the news of Lisa's abduction dominated headlines in Sweden when her body was found and the public learned of Lisa's brutal murder the case shook the entire country such crimes were extremely rare in seden and people were shocked that someone could commit such a heinous act on the same day that her body was discovered something unusual and rather Eerie occurred YouTube users stumbled upon a video posted 13 days before the murder the video was titled 13 and it featured a countdown timer what was most unsettling was the name of the channel That uploaded the video it was called Lisa home news of this video quickly spread throughout the media leaving many people stunned by the series of coincidences some people began to speculate that someone had predicted the murder murder but in reality it turned out to be much simpler it appeared that someone had just changed the channel name and video title after Lisa's body was found either this person wanted to spark another conspiracy theory or was just playing a cruel prank meanwhile the police were doing everything in their power to find the killer as quickly as possible at the time of Lisa's Discovery investigators had already brought in two brothers and a woman and they all denied any involvement in the murder they claimed that at the time of the abduction they were at home providing aliis for each other according to their accounts the older brother narrais was asleep in his room while his wife was preparing dinner and the younger brother was on the computer naris also added that around 8:00 p. m.
he woke up and went to the gas station where he bought pizza and cigarettes the police were pretty skeptical of their aliis as all three could have simply been covering for each other they collected their DNA samples but investigators still any evidence directly linking any of them to the murder however this didn't last long forensic experts were working in the barn and on the farm utilizing all available resources and Manpower and soon their efforts paid off in the barn there was a small office-like room it had a large window overlooking the cafe upon examining this room experts discovered 15 different traces of male seamen on the walls and floor near this window it appeared as if someone had stood there watching The Cafe employees including Lisa and satisfying themselves these semen samples were immediately sent to the laboratory and experts quickly extracted DNA profiles from them all 15 semen traces matched the DNA of the older brother 35-year-old naris the same applied to the feces found in the barn they also belong to him in the Next Room which had previously been used for storing cow's milk forensic experts noticed a pipe about 2 ft above the floor covered in a thick layer of dust except for a small strip the size of this strip perfectly matched the Rope used to strangle Lisa traces of blood were also found on this pipe and the DNA analysis confirmed it belonged to NIS on the floor beneath the pipe they discovered a piece of the same rope experts examined it and identified two DNA profiles Lisas and nises this was a significant breakthrough for the police it finally linked the man to the Rope used to kill the victim furthermore a hair belonging to Lisa was found on the floor of this room another crucial piece of evidence came from her jacket DNA traces belonging to nuris were also found on it based on these evidence the police believed that she was killed right there they pieced together an approximate sequence of events narus had been observing the cafe for some time and when Lisa was alone in the parking lot he approached her based on the jogger's account he could have asked Lisa for directions to a certain city or used some other tactics then ner just might have asked her to get into his car to enter the route into the GPS system considering Lisa was kind-hearted and always tried to help others she might have agreed once she was in the car the perpetrator taped her mouth shut and drove her to the barn there he wrapped the Rope around her neck and hung her from the pipe according to the medical experts this site likely excited him so much that he defecated on the floor due to an adrenaline rush when she died he placed Lisa's body in the car and drove to the farm tossing her belongings out the window along the way there he hid the body in the trailer Locker covering it with old clothes scattered around all of this from the moment of the abduction took the perpetrator less than an hour despite all the evidence n just continued to insist on his innocence his wife and younger brother had to be released because there was nothing against them once free they almost immediately left Sweden and returned to their Homeland Lithuania the preparation for the trial was intense ner just claimed he had worked in that Barn for a long time suggesting his DNA could have been present there due to his job additionally he had an alibi provided by his wife and brother although there were serious doubts about The credibility of both sources in court this could have definitely worked in his favor on the other hand the presence of Nas's DNA on the victim's clothing could only be explained by direct contact with her on the day of the murder the police also found a witness who saw his car near the cafe shortly before and after Lisa's abduction according to them the car passed along the road between the cafe and the farm several times at the same time when naris was supposed to be sleeping at home according to his brother and wife for several months months after the discovery of her body experts continued to examine all the available evidence using the most advanced equipment eventually they uncovered traces of n' DNA on almost all of Lisa's clothing including the inside of her underwear considering that the whole country was still following the case investigators continued to search for any other useful clues that could impact the legal process and further prove Nas's involvement they even went to Lithuania to speak with his wife and brother once again the woman continued to insist that he did not leave the house between 6:00 and 8:00 p. m. but when it was the younger brother's turn detectives suddenly got what they wanted after telling him about all the evidence against his brother and detailing what he did with the 17-year-old girl the man decided to tell them everything he claimed that NIS actually was not at home that evening and only returned around 7:30 p.
