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.

Genevieve Lancier
Claudia Tielt
Alexia Zerner-Merches
Vera Jarle
Fenella Lorch
Elisabeth Leenhower (also stating she was Belgian)

Prior to her death, she was seen with two other men near the location of her body.

The police managed to decode her notes,which revealed the places the woman had visited.
