New evidence suggests the pastor's wife in the Knutby murder may have been dead before the nanny fired her shots.
The episode opens with hosts introducing new information in the Knutby case from 2004, a Swedish murder involving a pastor's wife and a nanny. Øystein Milli recounts his personal coverage, noting he identified a Norwegian link via a death notice for Alexandra Fosmo, who was married to Norwegian pastor Helge Fosmo. The narrative details how nanny Sara Svensson confessed to shooting Fosmo but later implicated Helge Fosmo through manipulative SMS messages. The hosts describe Knutby as a small village near Stockholm, home to the controversial Philadelphia congregation, which included a woman called 'Christ's Bride' due to rumors of a spiritual marriage with Jesus. They explain the community's tension with locals and the media frenzy. The discussion shifts to new findings from Aftonbladet's program '200 Sekunder', which raises six points of doubt. These include discrepancies in bullet counts, with evidence of five holes but Svensson claiming three shots, and uncertainties about whether all bullets came from the same gun. Another point involves blood pool analysis, suggesting Fosmo bled for longer than Svensson's timeline allows, indicating she might have been dead earlier. The hosts also mention skuddvinkler (shot angles) not matching Svensson's account and a reenactment video that may have been influenced by police. They note forensic experts used pig blood to test seepage rates. The episode critiques these findings, warning of potential fallacies in re-investigations while acknowledging the case's lingering mysteries. It concludes by noting Helge Fosmo's release and the possibility of the case reopening, with hosts speculating on other involved parties.
