In 1981, two children from the small town of Notodden in Norway, Else (11) and Odd (14), were found dead in a forest near their home. The case remains unsolved and has become one of the most mysterious and talked-about crimes in Norwegian history.

The Day of Their Disappearance

On August 4, 1981, Else and Odd left their home to go fishing in a nearby lake. They were last seen by their father, who watched them walk away from the house. When they did not return home that evening, their parents grew concerned and contacted the police.

The Search for the Children

The police and local volunteers searched for the children for several days. On August 7, their bodies were found in a forest about 2 kilometers from their home. They were lying next to each other, and both had been shot in the back of the head.

The Investigation

The investigation into the murders was extensive, but no suspects were ever identified. The police looked into several theories, including that the children had been killed by a local hunter, that they had stumbled upon a drug deal, or that they had been killed by someone they knew.

The Theories

Over the years, many theories have been proposed about what happened to Else and Odd. Some people believe that they were killed by someone they knew, while others think that they stumbled upon a drug deal and were killed to keep them quiet.

Some people have even suggested that the murders were part of a larger conspiracy involving the Norwegian government. However, there is no evidence to support any of these theories.

The Legacy

The case of Else and Odd Død has become a cultural touchstone in Norway. It has been the subject of books, films, and television shows. It has also sparked a renewed interest in the case and has led to renewed efforts to solve it.

Today, the case remains unsolved, and the deaths of Else and Odd continue to haunt their family and the people of Notodden.
