Isdal Woman (Norwegian: Isdalskvinnen) was a subject who was seen alive on multiple occasions before her body was found in a valley in Norway.
Case
The victim's burned body was found in Isdalen in Bergen, Norway. Two bottles of accelerant and one liquor bottle were at the scene. Although her death was ruled as suicide, many suspect foul play due to the bizarre circumstances of her death.
