Isdal Woman: A mystery death haunting Norway for 46 years
Everything about this says dead spy caught by other spies. The interesting part won&#x27;t be her real identity, even though that would be a critical window into the things that are actually interesting.<p>No theft, no sexual abuse, no emotional yarns, bloodless, no noise yelling or fighting, drugged and burned, and obscured identity, effective for decades. The murderers were professional state operators, so whoever did it, collects a paycheck for killing people like this woman, above all ordinary law and order. Some of the rival operators may have been women, staving off sexual transgression, since that doesn&#x27;t always remain professional on its own.<p>What was she trying to do? How did her cover blow? Whoever killed her, they had clear understanding that she wasn&#x27;t who she claimed to be, and no one knew who she really was. Once they discovered mystery girl, if they weren&#x27;t ordered to take her out, all they had to do was phone home and ask if they were supposed to have peers in the vicintity, if not, she&#x27;s the enemy.<p>Based on this, you can assume by geography that she was a cold war spy, attractive, with money heading into Eastern Europe, not westbound out of Europe. If she were sourced from Eastern Europe, she wouldn&#x27;t have been caught and erased so quickly while still mainland. Closer into Eastern Europe, she&#x27;d have had more protection. Operating alone like this, she may have been a canary. Bait, doomed from the start, but unaware of her role in the operation she proved as hazardous.
